The tech industry is witnessing a major shift as the acronym MANGO—representing Microsoft, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI—gains prominence over the older FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) and Magnificent Seven labels.
MANGO companies are leading the artificial intelligence revolution, with innovations ranging from AI-powered productivity tools to advanced machine learning models. Analysts note that these firms have become the most influential employers and drivers of technological change in 2025.
Microsoft continues to integrate AI across its software ecosystem, Anthropic advances language model research, NVIDIA dominates AI hardware with its GPUs, DeepMind pushes the boundaries of intelligent systems, and OpenAI remains at the forefront of generative AI with models like ChatGPT.
The rise of MANGO has intensified competition for AI talent, prompting tech giants to focus recruitment on top AI researchers. Meanwhile, many other large tech companies have slowed hiring, reflecting a consolidation of talent and influence among AI-centric firms.
Industry observers say the emergence of MANGO signals a shift in market power, emphasizing AI as the central force in shaping the next decade of technological innovation.
