Does this mean that Anthropic has more than reached AGI, seeing as OpenAI has officially defined "AGI" as any AI that manages to create more than a hectocorn's worth (100 unicorns, or $100B) in economic value?

You haven’t actually looked at their fundamentals. They’re profitable serving current models including training costs and are only losing money on future RD training, but if you project future revenue growth on future generations of models you get a clear path to profitability. They charge higher costs than OpenAI and have faster growing API demand. They have great margins compared to the rest of the industry on infe…

> They’re profitable serving current models including training costs I hear this a lot, do you have a good source (apart from their CEO saying it in an interview). I might have more faith in him but checks notes , it's late 2025 and AI is not writing all our code yet (amongst other mental things he's said).

It's interesting that Amazon don't appear interested in acquiring Anthropic, which would have seemed like somewhat of a natural fit given that they are already partnered, Anthropic have apparently optimized (or at least adapted) for Trainium, and Amazon don't have their own frontier model. It seems that Amazon are playing this much like Microsoft - seeing themselves are more of a cloud provider, happy to serve anyone…

Why are you assuming Anthropic is for sale? They have a clear path to profitability, booming growth, and a massive and mission driven founding team. They could make more money keeping control of the company and have control.

Why would they buy Anthropic when they already have access to all the tech and source-code of Anthropic for free ? Not only the models but also training data, model architecture, documentation, weights and latest R&D experiments ? Take an instance -> Snapshot -> Investigate. Unless they get caught it is not illegal.

This is what happens when someone copies and pastes their old comment, note the other tells.

Nope, more like a LLM that doesn't know about GPT 5 and Gemini 3
