The hosts discuss Anthropic’s reported plans for a potentially record-setting IPO valued at $2–$3 trillion, focusing on what its public filings could reveal about revenue, customers, computing costs, profitability, and the wider AI economy. They also consider a possible acquisition of Decart and view renewed M&A activity as a sign of improving venture-capital liquidity.

Puneet Puri describes Gritt Robotics’ AI-powered systems for automating solar-panel installation.
