"Post-money" is the euphemism for the glorious end of capitalism, when we will be paying in corporate scrip, Arasaka-style? :)

#102$14B revenue run rate is the interesting number here.
Yeah, up from $1B a year ago. Two years ago, I considered investing in Anthropic when they had a valuation of around $18B and messed up by chickening out (it was available on some of the private investor platforms). Up 20x since then ... It was always obvious that Anthropic's focus on business/API usage had potential to scale faster than OpenAI's focus on ChatGPT, but the real kicker has been Claude Code (released a…
what are the private investor platform you mentioned ? and what are the requirements to join in?

Hiive and Forge Global are the ones I know of. You must be an "accredited investor" which means nothing at all except that you have a million dollars or make $200k/yr.

#104How is Anthropic, OpenAI and xAi going to compete against the likes of Google that can spend $200 billion a year? It’s an impossible war and all these investors are throwing their money into a bottomless insatiable pit of money. Until the funding stops for one reason or another and then everyone loses all their money at once like a star that collapses into a black hole singularity in a femtosecond.
I'm trying paid tier Gemini and it doesn't allow to keep have personal chat history when you disable training on your data, on reload of the page your chat is gone. Even free tier of ChatGPT allows disabling training on your data while allowing to keep such basic functionality. Some technical advancements are not worth it if you do not respect your users.
Yeah I’m never using a Google product. The sole purpose of their company is to be evil. At least other companies are indifferent.

Google fucks up 90% of their products, why do you think Gemini is in the 10%?

#106When will we see the first $1T valuation for a private company? What do you call a herd of 1000 unicorns together?

Microsoft engineers use their offerings over OpenAI - their partner. That isn’t nothing.
It is approximately nothing, since lots of MS engineers use Apple products too.
Apple does pretty well for themselves - are you sure that’s not a positive signal for Anthropic?

#110Goldman Sachs recently stoked fear about software stocks due to claimed AI competition.
What if their strategy is this: slowly drive down software stocks, keep talking about AI, buy the downward market. Then cash in on the IPOs of OpenAI and Anthropic.
Then let OpenAI and Anthropic implode. Goldman Sachs had no problems underwriting webvan at the end of 1999, which then imploded in 2000.
Anyway, I just valued my dog at $1 billion post-money. You can buy it at pets.com.
