Anthropic delivered one of the most consequential weeks any AI lab has had yet:
Andrej Karpathy joined to work on AI-accelerated pre-training research, new
financials suggested the company is already profitable, and its deepening SpaceX
compute partnership added fuel to the acceleration story. NLW breaks down why
this is bigger than a lab horse race, why recursive research and compute
constraints matter, and how Anthropic’s momentum is forcing a reset in how
markets understand the AI boom. In the headlines: OpenAI’s IPO plans, Cursor’s
efficient coding model, and more.
