Trace's Take
Anthropic flipping past OpenAI on valuation is less about model benchmarks and more about who enterprises trust to deploy in production. The 'safety' brand turned out to be the best enterprise go-to-market in AI. The reported $2 trillion IPO target is the real test of that thesis: it implies revenue multiples well ahead of where the company's actual $20B-$26B in projected 2026 calendar revenue sits today, and several outlets are already flagging the gap between investor math and the underlying business.
