    How: Anthropic publicly confirms (press release, SEC, or major outlet citing internal docs) ARR >=$50B. Confirmed ARR was $30B as of March 2026 (up from $9B end of 2025). At a continuation of the ~3x trajectory, $50B is within reach in 6-12 months.

    How: NVIDIA fiscal-year revenue >=$300B per 10-K with YoY growth <50% (vs >100% earlier). Slowing NVDA growth is a precondition for Amazon/Anthropic to outpace NVDA to $1T.
