Anthropic reportedly raised $65B at a ~$965B post-money valuation, surpassing OpenAI as the world’s most valuable AI startup.

Go tell your Prime Minister Mr. Modi to build just one city like Norway, where people get these facilities: - Corruption-free - Pollution-free - Food free from adulteration - Best quality roads and flyovers - Best quality education with no paper leaks - Proper treatment in hospitals without medical mafia loot - At least basic facilities for common people It’s okay if he does not hold press conferences, because if he does, the public will definitely ask all these questions. That is why Mr. Modi runs away and does not want to answer. Hello Lyng, Since Mr. Modi became the Prime Minister of India, you people tell me - which city in India is pollution-free and corruption-free, where adulterated food is not sold? Has Mr. Modi created any such city after coming to power? I am not talking about cities or villages that were already better before, like many people mentioned South India and Jammu & Kashmir - those places are naturally better and pollution-free. Now talk about Delhi, the capital of India. India has a population of 1.3 billion, a 4 trillion-dollar economy, and was once considered one of the world’s most developed civilizations. In the capital city Delhi: - Are people getting clean air? - Are people getting food without adulteration? - Are the roads good? - Has corruption ended? - Are people getting proper treatment in hospitals? If all these things are not happening, then what has Prime Minister Modi been doing for the last 12 years? He has not even made his own capital an example for the world. Delhi’s pollution is famous around the world. Many people say that population does not allow India to progress. In fact, if there is a right leadership, then by using population as a weapon, it can become the number one country in the world, which will be the safest country in the world. Where corruption, pollution, medical mafia, top exam Exam paper leak can never happen.

There's a TV show in Japan that has run for over 30 years. The premise: a parent sends their two or three-year-old child on an errand. Alone. To the store. To buy tofu. Across actual streets. A camera crew follows secretly, hidden, never helping, as a tiny human in a backpack completes a task most countries wouldn't let a child attempt. The kid cries. The kid forgets. The kid gets distracted by a dog. And then the kid comes home, holding the tofu, glowing. It's the most-watched thing of its kind in the country. Americans who discover it cannot believe it's legal. In Japan, we cannot believe it's remarkable.

🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products. My Take The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested. This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown. Hedgie🤗
