A Reddit post connects Anthropic's recent moves into a timeline:

Anthropic has pushed its IPO from October to November, reportedly still seeking $100 billion at a $2 trillion valuation — larger than SpaceX's record $75 billion raise.
The poster observes Anthropic is rolling out 5.5 across all its models, speculating this collects usage data before the IPO that will feed into Claude 6.
The post asks: would you want a Claude 6 that's cheaper than Claude 5 yet outperforms current models, arriving before the IPO?
