More Trillion Dollar IPOs, Anthropic $3T, Zuck's Price War, China Ends Open Source?, Trump Accounts
In a Nutshell
SpaceX IPOed at $1.75T and is trading at $2T, while Anthropic confidentially filed and is projected to hit $3T valuation if public today, with both Anthropic and OpenAI expected to IPO in 6-9 months. Token costs are doubling every 45 days with minimal ROI, prompting companies to seek cost-cutting through open-source routing and cheaper models, though frontier labs maintain revenue dominance as the intelligence gap persists. Meta launched a price war with 100x cheaper tokens, China is restricting overseas access to top models, and the Trump Accounts program is creating millions of investment accounts for children with $1,000 seed money and major philanthropic commitments.
