The Spin


Narrative A

Anthropic is a shooting star, steaming ahead of its competitors, recording strong growth and a viable path to operating profit. With enterprises and businesses also building entire platforms on Claude's API, the company boasts durable, foundational revenue that cannot be easily displaced, making Anthropic the most compelling AI investment of this era.

Narrative B

The risks for investors concerning Anthropic are too large to ignore. With the Shiller CAPE near 2000 dot-com levels and 70% of major cloud AI revenue tied to just Anthropic and OpenAI, the size of the bubble is staggering. This delicate house of cards, however, can come crashing down at any moment, especially given the rising competition from cheaper Chinese models.
