I like Claude, but polling done on Americans late last year shows otherwise:

Overseas numbers are likely worse for Claude.

Try and ask someone not in tech what they think of Claude or Anthropic. There's a high chance they've never heard of either.

Things might have changed with Anthropic showing up at the Superbowl, and in the news over their fight with the Pentagon.

Late last year is not the timeline you want. Anthropic’s hockey stick happened earlier this year.

Late last year was like 3 months ago.

I'm bullish on Claude. It will see a surge in users, and will likely surpass Perplexity this year. However I don't think it will catch up to even Meta AI (which had 10x the number of users) this year.

It's Android app is 18th place in Denmark right now. Someone must have heard about it.

Talk about a bubble. No one outside of programmers know what the heck is Claude. In Asia, ChatGPT and Gemini dominates LLM usage, followed by Perplexity.

I suspect we're underestimating the number of users Deepseek has in Asia.

Microsoft released a report with some numbers on Deepseek adoption globally. They say it's got ~90% market share in China, and is growing in popularity across Africa.
