Last gasp shit. They're raising on fumes. $2bn is a lot but they need more (lost $2.7bn after revenue in 2024). [embedded post]

a fundraising round of $2b is genuinely unfathomable to me lol. these places are absolutely torching cash [embedded post]

😂 MGX also partnering with OpenAI on Stargate... guess the “don't invest in our competitors” doesn't apply to Anthropic. Everybody just wants an AGI index. I should just setup a RUV and start buying employee shares 🤔

Anthropic is so popular these days that too many people want to give them money. Minimum buy in was $100 million, still oversubscribed. [image]

I really like Claude. That said, this is a lot of money chasing good product but with a currently fairly unclear business model
