ROUNDUP: Anthropic Pays Elon $45B, SpaceX Files $1.75T IPO, Claude Mythos Hacks Apple

THIS WEEK IN AI: Pope Approves Anthropic, Comparing AI Plans, Starcloud SpaceX Partnership

We need to discuss Meta’s new subscription plans for Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and AI. Then we'll compare them with offerings from Google, Claude, ChatGPT, and X. Can Meta justify its AI spending? If not, what possible fallback strategies can they lean on? We also explore StarCloud’s planned orbital data center, Cognition’s funding round, a new agentic coding benchmark, Pope Leo’s AI manifesto, and Snowflake’s post-earnings stock jump. ------ 🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️ NEWSLETTER:    https://limitlessft.substack.com/ FOLLOW ON X:   https://x.com/LimitlessFT SPOTIFY:             https://open.spotify.com/show/5oV29YUL8AzzwXkxEXlRMQ APPLE:                 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/limitless-podcast/id1813210890 RSS FEED:           https://limitlessft.substack.com/ ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Meta’s New AI Subscriptions 2:51 Comparing Subscription Tiers 9:23 Meta’s Revenue Pressure 10:30 SpaceX Goes Orbital AI 13:42 Cognition's Big Raise 15:37 The AI Pope 18:37 New Benchmarks, New Winners 20:30 Snowflake’s SaaS Comeback ------ RESOURCES Josh: https://x.com/JoshKale Ejaaz: https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ------ Not financial or tax advice.

How Gavin Baker Invests in AI, and Where the Bubble is Going Next

In this episode, we discuss Gavin Baker’s view that AI is a super cycle, with the biggest opportunities in infrastructure, chips, memory, and power rather than software.  It's interesting to pit him against Leopold Aschenbrenner, who has taken a higher octane approach to similar overarching theses.  Gavin's portfolio includes Astera Labs, Cerebras, NVIDIA, Micron, and Unity Software.

ROUNDUP: Anthropic Pays Elon $45B, SpaceX Files $1.75T IPO, Claude Mythos Hacks Apple

Three of the biggest deals in AI history all hit in the last 48 hours. SpaceX filed for a $1.75 trillion IPO, the biggest ever. Anthropic signed a deal to pay Elon $1.25 billion a month to train Claude on his GPUs, $45 billion total through 2029. And Anthropic is now projected to be profitable by next month, beating OpenAI to it. We break down the S1 filing, the 30% retail float, the insider unlock structure, and why Antonio Gracias is about to become absurdly wealthy. Then we get into Cursor's $60 billion acquisition by SpaceX, why Michael Truell is about to be the youngest billionaire alive, and how Composer 2.5 (built on an open-source Kimi base) is beating Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 at a fraction of the cost. Plus: Claude Mythos cracking Apple's M5 chip in five days for $35,000, China's GPU race, OpenAI's rumored IPO filing, and Karpathy joining Anthropic. ------ 🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️ NEWSLETTER:    https://limitlessft.substack.com/ FOLLOW ON X:   https://x.com/LimitlessFT SPOTIFY:             https://open.spotify.com/show/5oV29YUL8AzzwXkxEXlRMQ APPLE:                 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/limitless-podcast/id1813210890 RSS FEED:           https://limitlessft.substack.com/ ------ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 SpaceX Partners With Anthropic 06:43 Anthropic's Shocking News 08:55 SpaceX IPO Filing Here! 14:12 The New Youngest Billionaire 17:48 Claude Mythos Hacked Apple 21:30 China Summit Failure? 24:34 OpenAI IPO FIling This Week?? 25:25 Andrej Joins Anthropic ------ RESOURCES Josh: https://x.com/JoshKale Ejaaz: https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ------ Not financial or tax advice.
