Speaking of financing: how is the Anthropic IPO going, what is the timeline? They filed over a month ago, no news since. (I would have expected some spectacular news headlines that would be designed to fuel public interest in the impending IPO, but can't detect anything of substance)

AFAICT, the last we heard of any AI company IPO was that OpenAI got spooked by the market response to SpaceX and is considering punting to 2027 (https://www.the-independent.com/tech/openai-ipo-date-valuati...). My money is on Anthropic similarly punting, especially if SpaceX manages to cross the very very short distance remaining to drop below the IPO price.

They think things will be better for them in 2027?

This is the pattern I’d expect for their IPOs too, give their current fantasy valuations.

just recalled: some significant open source projects are being rewritten in Rust, with the help of Claude. I don't know if these efforts will be successful in the long run, but in some way these news headlines may be creating a media dynamic as part of the IPO preparations?

I doubt anyone in the media is paying attention to projects being rewritten in Rust...
