Claude is too expensive. My company (a US big tech) only gives us $200/month budget. With Claude, even I use Sonnet, it only lasts probably 1+ week for me. Recently, the company added Codex, which is like 1/3 price of Claude for equivalent model (Sol 6.1). I just switched straight away from Claude (just another VScode plugin). I don't feel quality…

Timing is a key aspect in predictions. I could have said in 2015 that Trump would get defeated by a Democrat in 2016. He did get defeated by a Democrat in 2020 but my prediction would be wrong. Same thing for Zitron’s predictions of many companies supposedly failing. Note that many companies will fail in any sector, that doesn’t mean that the…

If Anthropic's valuation drops below $1 trillion in the event of an IPO — I'm going to say it probably shouldn't go public. There's been a meaningful amount of volatility in markets. That could last a while. The buy side has been pretty stung, deleveraging meaningfully, with the potential for mor...

It keeps dropping. Was 2T, then 1.5T last week, now looking like they might be lucky to get 1T.I wouldn’t be surprised if Anthropic delays the IPO in hopes this will all magically sort itself out but as every day passes it looks like they should have gone public this summer when things were still on the up.Realistically the company is worth in the…

I'm not convinced that 2026 was peak of the AI hype cycle.Arguments are being made that, with the midterms over and 2028 just around the corner, a less sympathetic administration would create significant headwinds, adjusting the valuation of Anthropic and OpenAI down.What we don't know are what Anthropic and OpenAI have planned and in the works.A…

Say NVIDIA, in order to produce their chip, they need to reserve their supply chain 2-5 years in advance. If the current demand is ~70b/year, should they reserve $70b next year, or $110b next year, or $50b next year? That is Anthropic, their last quarter revenue is $17b (~70b/year). Their next 12 months (page 175) reservation is $68B, which is…

If I am remembering this correctly from Patrick Boyle's recent podcast: Anthropic has been getting their compute massively subsidized while at the same time companies that were jumping into AI at the start of the year encouraged tokenmaxing behavior. Both the subsidies and the tokenmaxing activity have reversed in the last few months. Personally I…

What always confuses me about Anthropic is them insisting that they need more compute.This feels wrong in several ways:a) they're certainly not addressing their customers like they're compute-limited. One must ask, what would that look like? For one, I think it'd look like a wait list to sign up. It'd look like prices going _higher_, and not…

Here's why I'm skeptical:It may only be a short-term circumstance that you need a data centre to run AI for lucrative applications. Thirty years ago you needed a mainframe to beat Kaspersky at chess. Algorithm's got better, and now you can beat the mainframe that beat Kaspersky with a bot running on a desktop Pentium of the day[1]. You could…

This is pretty serious. My read on Anthropic is they have a pretty calibrated timeline and the raise was carefully decided for their goals. They probably would have wanted the initial ask of $3T. They thought maybe they could get the compute they needed with a $2T valuation. And now investors are trying to knock them down to $1T. And possibly…

Do some research into what actually preceded the 1929 crash. The market was up 505% in 8 years and leverage lending was offering 10-1 ratios. Everybody saw it as free money and they weren’t investing wages, but debt. Spy is down less than 10% from all time high and the most speculative industry is being hit the hardest right now because of real…

Even if Anthropic IPOs for less than $1.5 trillion, SF and California governments can expect a huge revenue windfall. The risk is that they pull the IPO and AI investment freezes up. Then the local economy could be in for a serious downturn.
