The Acronym FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google) has been the standard for describing the top tech companies, but is it still accurate?
FAANG represented the dominant companies of the consumer-internet era, however MANGOS is more accurate to represent companies shaping the AI era that we’re seeing right now. If you’re goal is to work for one of these top tech companies here’s the current landscape –
- Meta | Massive consumer distribution + AI models/infrastructure
- Anthropic | Frontier AI models
- NVIDIA | The computing hardware powering AI
- Google (Alphabet) → models + cloud + custom AI chips + research
- OpenAI | Frontier models + ChatGPT + AI products
- SpaceX | Satellite connectivity, launch infrastructure and potentially massive AI infrastructure
