The 'training costs alone forecast to exceed total revenue 2026 to 2028' claim is the headline, but Anthropic's 8 of Fortune 10 using Claude is the data point with longer-term implications for theaifounder.substack.com readers thinking about lock-in. Anthropic at $30B annualized vs. OpenAI at $25B is the cleanest enterprise-revenue comparison I've seen this year. Figure's 24x throughput jump in 120 days is the robotics number that buried the lede. Whose IPO first sets a benchmark that none of the others can hit, in your read?

OpenAI's training costs projected to exceed total revenue through 2028 while Anthropic holds 54% coding market share is the tension that makes the competitive dynamics hard to read. Anthropic's unit economics look structurally better, which makes the IPO timing question worth analyzing: do you go public before OpenAI to establish the valuation reference, or let OpenAI price-discover first and capture the premium? At theaifounder.substack.com I think about the application layer implications of which lab wins, and the coding market concentration matters. If 54% of that market sits with one supplier, enterprise procurement teams will force diversification regardless of quality. Which of Google's moves this cycle do you think most threatens Anthropic's coding moat?
