Anthropic’s head of growth says the AI giant’s blistering pace of revenue expansion is largely rooted in a single internal advantage. In a new interview on Lenny’s Podcast, Amol Avasare says Anthropic is not a typical growth-led organization, but one fundamentally driven by its technical foundation. “I’d say it’s very much a company-wide effort. Yes, we are the growth team. We have done great. I think we’ve driven a lot of impact. But honestly, we can’t claim too much credit for the success of the company.

In a new post on X, Big Short investor Michael Burry responds to remarks from DoubleLine Capital CEO Jeffrey Gundlach, who compares today’s private credit environment to the early stages of the 2007 financial crisis.

Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya says that the public listing of SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic will be bad news for other tech companies. In the latest episode of the All-In Podcast, the venture capitalist explains that the tech sector has been trading at a premium to non-tech with a valuation gap of about 12x. Palihapitiya believes that the valuation gap between tech and non-tech will converge once SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic go public. “These [three] companies need to get out as quickly as possible. And the reason is, every single company that comes after it, all those companies… are not nearly as…
Morgan Stanley says the global oil market may never return to its old equilibrium, even if geopolitical tensions cool.

And if the Iranian…
The chief global strategist at JPMorgan Chase is issuing a contrarian call about AI and the US economy. In a new CNBC interview, David Kelly predicts that inflation will be lower by the end of the year, believing that oil and tariff issues will be temporary. But the strategist also says that the US is only capable of having a “tortoise economy,” which refers to a stagnant or barely growing economy. “But by the end of the year, if we’re right in oil, and you’ve got lower tariffs in the fourth quarter this year than last year, and you’ve got falling…

The venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) says AI consumer adoption is still in the early innings and has more room to run to the upside. In the latest edition of its Chart of the Week, a16z cites data from Bank of America, which found that only 3% of households are paying for AI subscriptions. While the figure is “tiny,” a16z says it is growing fairly quickly. “The number of households ‘making AI payments’ is up nearly 40%, relative to February 2024. That growth is impressive, but it’s nothing like the growth we’ve seen on the enterprise side. At only…
Elon Musk believes that the future of news will be in video formats generated by artificial intelligence. In a new post on X, Musk replies to former Microsoft tech evangelist Robert Scoble, who says that a new 24-hour-a-day news channel on any topic will emerge. According to Scoble, xAI’s Grok can study lists in great detail to create scripts before passing them over to the AI generative video platform Imagine to build a show. Scoble says the process will allow people to get personalized news streams on their topics of choice. Musk agrees and takes the idea a step further.…
Billionaire venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya says SpaceX could create a new layer of economy beyond Earth. In a new episode of the All-In Podcast, Palihapitiya says advances led by SpaceX are laying the groundwork for an entirely new industrial ecosystem. According to the billionaire, SpaceX’s rockets will serve as a starting point for what he sees as an explosion of economic activity in space. “I think that this is going to unleash just an unbelievably large economy of things that we have no idea about… If you catch a ride on Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy, basically, it’s dropping you…

In a new Sequoia Capital interview, Jack Dorsey outlines a new company structure that relies on AI and agents to boost productivity and business outcomes. Dorsey says the first type of role is what he calls ICs, or the builders and operators of the company. “This is a salesperson, it’s an engineer, it’s a designer, a product person. They’re actually working with the tools to build or to operate the company. They’re augmented because they have access…
