GaryMarcus · x · 2026-11-03
Gary Marcus questions Anthropic's business model, citing reporter Madison Mills.
- Anthropic's updated IPO filing shows spending commitments surging to nearly $900 billion, while Q3 revenue surged to nearly $17 billion
- $70 billion of that is due within the next 12 months
- FT previously reported Anthropic may not receive an investment-grade rating on its debt
- Marcus: Anthropic's "true genius" is making people believe these numbers add up to a world-class business, when it is "teetering on fiscal disaster"
