New architecture won't map to current NVIDIA architecture; will create next Anthropic/OpenAI

Prediction text
New architecture won't map to current NVIDIA architecture; will create next Anthropic/OpenAI | it probably won't map well to the current Nvidia architecture. Uh so you'll immediately want to call Lisa Sue at AMD or... that's how you're going to create the next anthropic or the next Open AI.
Watch events: Anthropic ARR updates quarterly; potential Oct 2026 IPO; OpenAI next funding round; IPO timing; revenue disclosures

Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Dave Blundin is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
