Anthropic

“So first you, it seems like we're in the infrastructure phase where you have open AI and thropic, which were investor and other Google, you know, Facebook's going with the open source.”

“These companies that could be worth trillions of dollars someday. The SpaceX's, the Anduril's, the OpenAI's, the Anthropics.”

“I mean, these companies are compounding it over a hundred percent year over year in the billions of run rate. We have never seen that before, right?”

“And so when you look at investment like open AI at thirty billion or anthropic at sixty billion, you know, I can tell you these are opportunities that I personally believe have the upside to generate multiples versus say IRR.”

“I started working in AI when I joined Anthropic back in early twenty-twenty-two as the first person to work on product and go to market.”

“Whether security level three is going to be a thing. And I think the short answer is, yeah, it's just a question of time. And is it going to be this side of Christmas or after? I don't know yet”

“I will take my, if I'm, like, stuck in writing an essay, I'll, like, take the draft, I'll put it in Claude and ask for feedback, and, like, the feedback is bad, and it always, like, tries to move me more towards average, and I ignore it, but, like, I just have…”

“Their benchmark, on their benchmarks, they saw a significant step up with GPT-V, much better than any other coding or design or math startup saw in their ability to find cyber exploits. And, you know, summarizing, basically, the jump was from just under 60% to…”

“Anthropix crushing it with their API, probably one of the most loved developer products out there, both with the API, but also the Cloud Code product. And so I would say they were winning in their own right in the enterprise segment with developers on the codi…”

“Nvidia earned, Nvidia alone at the chip player earned roughly forty billion dollars in data center revenue in Q one last quarter. So analyze that's about a 160. Let's say the total industry is 170, 180, maybe let's say 200. The infra layer is 20, thirty billio…”

“We've tried Gemini, Claude and Anthropic are a little bit too slow for a phone call, unfortunately.”

“Three hundred million plus in revenue and profitable. Two hundred and twenty-five million in funding at a last valuation of 2.2 billion. A network of four million engineers and customers that include OpenAI, NVIDIA, Anthropoc, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Salesfor…”

“We work with seven out of the eight Frontier Labs. We work with OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, anybody that's building a Frontier Foundation model, we are probably working with them already.”

“I, my sense is that for many of these foundation lab companies, if you just do a revenue multiple and you look at the growth rate, it's actually pretty reasonable. That's true of OpenAI, that's true of Anthropic.”

“Applied AI is number one. And the reason I call it applied AI is because the big companies, OpenAI, Anthropic, XAI, they're all investing hundreds of billions of dollars in AI and AI infrastructure. So all I need to do is take that and adapt it for the departm…”

“XAI has decidedly taken a very direct step into things like consumer through obviously the X platform and potentially embodied AI and robotics through potential partnerships with companies like Tesla, et cetera, and Optimus and things like that. Whereas Anthro…”

“The Anthology Fund is a fund that we do with Anthropic. It's a hundred million dollar fund.”

“I am so fortunate to have like Claude code to be able to do all my charts right now. So I write myself, I've written a big skill for how I like things to be graphed, and I'm very clearly opinionated about that, like exact color and what the themes have to be a…”

“What was interesting about this one is the projections and the scale of the business grew materially. In between the fundraising kind of being discussed to eventually kind of being announced. And I think that speaks to just the incredible adoption of clock cod…”

“You know, some of them will probably go public in the next 12 to 24 months, so that'll be kind of one impact of it”

“I do think if you're going to want to outperform you know, the index over a long period of time, you're going to need exposure to these companies.”

“If you look at OpenAI and Anthropic alone, the two, those two companies added as much revenue last year as half of the public cloud universe, excluding the mag seven.”

“Would probably put my money today on Larry Page quarter trillion. Google, Google, or should say Alphabet has like woken up. They own, you know, close to a hundred percent of search. They own a hundred percent of deep mind. They own like mid teens percentage of…”

“Anthropic obviously has been a great coming that came from behind, but has a you know, a strong leadership in the market in the categories that it cares about from a, from model perspective.”

“We were talking about Anthropic and their hypergrowth and how they pretty much reached a year of growth in one quarter.”

“They've had that model for a while. They did not release it. They thought a lot about it. And what did they do? They gave it to the companies to create an advantage to essentially eliminate you know, security debt in the existing infrastructure before more and…”

“I don't think that there's this concern in my mind of, oh, that means you got to sell mag seven or this and that, because, you know, the S and P is 60 or 70 trillion dollars of market cap. We're talking about one trillion dollar, three one trillion dollar comp…”

“I don't think it's a straight one for one, like, oh, if you spend a hundred dollars on Anthropic, I have to reduce my labor by a hundred dollars because I think that there's productivity gains that are achieved.”

“It was nine billion dollars at the end of December, and that number was thirty billion, right? So they added twenty billion, they're adding, you know, ten billion plus or minus a month, almost two and a half billion dollars a week.”

“Anthropix last round was, you know, high 300 of billions.”

“And then when you think about both of them combined, let's say they're close to sixty billion dollars. I mean, that is bigger than ServiceNow, that is bigger than Salesforce, that is bigger than any big name SaaS platform that you would think about. And these …”

“Agents, agents launching agents, I think is one of the most underappreciated unlocks that has happened, because you can give an agent a project now, and you can just go away, and you can come back, and it has done If not all of it, really, really far along.”

“SpaceX is the big one to kind of start this, but, I mean, as you mentioned, like, OpenAI and Anthropic are both valid. They're S-one's confidentially, so it's gonna be a pretty interesting, you know, few quarters in the public markets.”

“That's probably my answer, but I think I think Dario does a good job of really prioritizing the safety aspect of all of this. I think that's definitely on top of people's minds. Like, that's when I think about comments from the mainstream. Like, One of the top…”

“Most of these law firms and enterprises Can't rely on a single lab provider. So like there's a big risk if you're a law firm that if you just use Anthropic or you just use OpenAI you run into conflict risk. So imagine you're using only Anthropics models as a l…”

“What we've seen is actually every different model is good at something different. And so with the initial results we saw, Anthropics models are quite strong, but there's areas where a 5.5 is better. There's some areas where open source is better.”

“Ah, well, I don't think OpenAI and Anthropic are going to build all the companies. I think they're mostly focused on building foundational models, which are broadly applicable. But for instance, I don't think anyone thinks they're going to get into regulated f…”

“Which is why you saw Anthropics revenue and why you saw cloud code go so parabolic, because there was a genuine breakthrough in the usability of those models”

“I have friends, like I know several people that have like three to four billion dollars invested into Anthropic.”

“The thing that still kind of inspires us, you know, through the Facebook parallel was, it was like the first platform company that we saw. So all the companies As associates that we were building relationships with, we're figuring out how they could like build…”

“It became incredibly centralized and closed source. And you're seeing that happen with open AI and Anthropic. It's the wrong path because everyone needs to have their own models. Everyone needs to be able to be able to compete and you don't want one company wi…”

“They had available capacity because the Grok model wasn't used very much. So they had these GPUs that were sitting around and that's a bad idea. And so they sold a whole block of them or released a whole block of them to Anthropic.”

“So if you're a CIO, if you're a CEO, if you're about to make a multi-million, billion-dollar decision of which lab to build your intelligence on, plan for the climate, not for the weather. What does that mean? That's multi-model routing. That's evals. That's t…”

“So physics-wise, at least from what I have read, It seems like it is, there is a non-zero chance of it succeeding, meaning it will succeed once you put enough attention, resources, focus on it, and like we saw some of the frontier labs, you saw that SpaceX sai…”

“How am I gonna know that if you know how to use OpenClaw? Well, how am I gonna know you understand what an agent is? If you're not playing with it already, you're not sitting, going back home from work saying, I can't wait to get my hands on the new developmen…”
