Prediction text

If Anthropic grows 10x year-over-year two more years, it reaches $2.6T revenue (implying quadrillion-dollar valuation) | Anthropic was saying they're going to do about 26 billion run rate, but they're growing 10x year-over-year... if they grew two more years at 10x year over year, they go 26 billion 260 billion 2.6 trillion most revenue in the history of the world. But the the PEG ratio implies that that company would be worth a quadrillion dollars.

Watch events: Anthropic ARR updates quarterly; potential Oct 2026 IPO
