OpenAI’s proposed round shrank from $30 billion to $20 billion, with about $11 billion committed, as Rory compares its $1.25 trillion valuation with potentially public Anthropic at $1.5–$2 trillion.DoorDash’s reported $17 billion Instacart deal could combine cited 60% and 20% delivery shares, subject to antitrust clearance, while agents’ direct-order potential threatens platform take rates despite negligible volumes today.

Frontier models captured 80%+ of dollar-weighted demand over three years, yet Casado estimates an individual model’s commercial lifespan at just three to six months.Startups may still pay 10 times more for the smartest model, sustaining pricing power even as coding workflows saturate.If demand saturates, value could shift to open source, a transition Casado says “nobody knows” how it would unfold.

美股AI交易转向检验投入回报：微软宣布融资250亿美元后，谨慎开支带来的部分涨幅回吐。李丰称美股总市值约为美国M2的3.5倍，流动性周期尾部波动加剧，急跌时点仍无法判断。A股受公募风格监管及12月1日试行新规推动提前再平衡，外围急跌时跌幅和速度可能减缓一些。

Molly O'Shea × Shardul Shah

Bloomberg’s January 2026 figures put Index’s 2012 fund at 11X DPI versus a 1.5X industry average, and its $780 million 2015 growth fund at 5.1X.Shah says a roughly 25% valuation gap should not stop a deal; with model advances every few months unsettling AI retention, adaptable founders become central to durability.

明浩认为，Seedance凭短剧打通生产、分发、广告变现、模型再投资和用户数据闭环，生态远大于可灵。OpenAI于3月24日关闭Sora Tool后，Perplexity可能已值两三百亿美元，Character.AI同类已有四五家公司月流水可能超一千万美元，显示边缘赛道也能长出大公司。

庄明浩称Seedance领先依靠独家数据与短剧广告闭环，通用模型能否打穿视频及物理能力仍待验证。Anthropic于6月4日展示局部自我改进循环的可能，下游数据、后训练需求或增，全天候Agent也放大安全风险。小模型追赶前沿已由18—24个月缩至九个月；垂直公司不必成为万亿美元巨头，也可做成百亿至两百亿美元公司。

Anthropic’s possible $100 billion IPO at a $2 trillion valuation would put its AI economics under public-market scrutiny: first-half 2026 revenue reached $16.3 billion, up 14X, while operating losses narrowed to roughly $600–700 million.Griffith estimates third-quarter growth at 44%; the key test is whether the slowdown reflects competitors catching up or broader demand weakness, as non-cancellable compute commitments leave the company exposed if usage falls.

Jenny Johnson × Molly O'Shea

Johnson favors shorter-term AI financing: today’s cash-generative borrowers differ from internet-bubble firms, but 20- or 30-year data-center debt risks locking in current chip and energy needs.Franklin Templeton’s late-stage SpaceX and Anthropic stakes seek missed IPO returns, but illiquid holdings may stay at 6%, 7% or 8% against a 15% limit.

Anthropic’s S-1 reports $16.3 billion in first-half revenue and $110 billion on the balance sheet, resetting venture-scale expectations.Meta’s proposed $95 billion raise highlights equity’s role in funding AI infrastructure, while 2027 depreciation may pressure operating income.Instinct’s rumored $30 billion valuation divides investors: Harry sees super-app optionality, while Jason wants 100 days of traction amid negative gross margins.

Anthropic’s proposed $1.5–2 trillion IPO pairs $16.3 billion in first-half 2026 revenue and nearly $1 billion in Q2 operating profit with more than $500 billion in compute commitments.Neocloud declines expose financing risk, with rivals reportedly borrowing at 15% versus SpaceX’s 8%; recursive self-improvement could eventually shock compute demand.Kimi K3.1 Pro’s score of 55, planned open weights and $2/$10 per million input/output token pricing add pressure on closed-model economics as reliability and task completion gain importance.
