| → | Anthropic's annualized revenue hit $65B, adding $18B in just two months: growth velocity we have never seen in enterprise software. |
| → | Anthropic now outsells OpenAI for the first time. Both labs are racing toward IPOs that could eclipse SpaceX's valuation record. |
| → | Nvidia's $1.5B bet on SoftBank's data center arm confirms compute remains the binding constraint, not model capability. |
| → | Alibaba's 3 billion open-weight model downloads show distribution is shifting east, even as US labs chase record valuations. |

| → | Goldman Sachs' finding that AI spending is not yet lifting corporate earnings should sober every CFO approving a new AI budget line. |
| → | Citi's Custody+ launch and the Swift tokenised deposit pilot by StanChart and HSBC prove incumbents are modernizing infrastructure in parallel with the AI race. |
