Maybe Anthropic simply don’t want to be acquired
You understand that doing an IPO is quite literally selling big chunks of yourself to the highest bidder, right?
In an interview Sam Altman said he preferred to stay away from an IPO, but the notion of the public having an interest in the company appealed to him. Actions speak louder than words, and so it is fitting from a mission standpoint that Anthropic may do it first.

Amazon also uses Claude under the hood for their "Rufus" shopping search assistant which is all over amazon.com. It's kind of funny, you can ask Rufus for stuff like "write a hello world in python for me" and then it will do it and also recommend some python books.
Are you sure? While Amazon doesn't own a "true" frontier model they have their own foundation model called Nova. I assume if Amazon was using Claude's latest models to power it's AI tools, such as Alexa+ or Rufus, they would be much better than they currently are. I assume if their consumer facing AI is using Claude at all it would be a Sonnet or Haiku model from 1+ versions back simply due to cost.
I would assume quite the opposite: it costs more to support and run inference on the old models. Why would Anthropic make inference cheaper for others, but not for amazon?
If OpenAI IPO's first, it'd be huge. Then Anthropic does, but AI IPO hype has sailed.
If Anthropic IPO's first, they get the AI IPO hype. OpenAI IPO probably huge either way.

This seems contrary to their stated goal to prioritize AI safety. It is against the law to prioritize AI safety if you run a public company. You must prioritize profits for your shareholders.
How would this work, given that Anthropic is a public benefit corporation?

Interesting, I tried it with the chatbot widget on my city government's page, and it worked as well. I wonder if someone has already made an openrouter-esque service that can connect claude code to this network of chat widgets. There are enough of them to spread yo…
A childhood internet friend of mine did something similar to that but for sending SMSes for free using the telco websites' built in SMS forms. He even had a website with how much he saved his users, at least until the telcos shut him down.

What do you mean by pure play? Claude code alone is 1B revenue. It's not just the API they make money on. https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-acquires-bun-as-cla...
But there's no moat around these models, they're all interchangeable and leapfrogging each other at a decent pace. Gemini could get much better tomorrow and their entire customer base could switch without issue.
