Highlights of the Week

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.
Two AI labs are on track to become public companies with market caps rivaling global banks: boards must ask who governs the vendors they now depend on.
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.
Stripe's $7bn acquisition of OpenRouter shows payments players moving up the stack: from processing money to brokering intelligence itself.
