Today Anthropic publicly filed to list on the Nasdaq as ANT, and its S-1 reads like an enterprise go-to-market playbook: $16.3B in first-half revenue, 11,900+ customers paying $100K+ a year, and about 48% of revenue through cloud marketplaces. The filing also warns that copyright rulings could force it to retrain its models. OpenAI answered the same day with GPT-6.1 Terra, a half-price computer-use model. AI agents from security startup Cathedral reached Anthropic's sales, HR and IT systems through third-party software in under 12 hours. The Daily Mail is testing GEO ahead of an AI-visibility product. And Pakistan proposed AI disclosure and record-keeping rules for election campaigns.
