Most of What You're Building Will Be Replaced by a Better Model. Here Are the Five Layers Between You and Irrelevance.

If your name isn’t Anthropic or OpenAI or Google, you have a problem. You need to find a space to build in where a better model won’t just erase everything you’ve made. That problem isn’t hypothetical. It’s happening right now to a dozen companies worth billions of dollars.

The add-in, available to Claude Team and Enterprise subscribers, completes Anthropic’s integration across the full Microsoft Office suite and arrives two months after the company’s legal plugin for its Claude Cowork platform wiped an estimated $285 billion in market value from legal technology and data companies in a single trading session.

The move follows Codex crossing three million weekly users on 8 April, a growth rate the company describes as a 5x increase in three months.
