Anthropic is reportedly eyeing a $900 billion valuation. Let that sink in.

We are no longer talking about "software companies." We are talking about entities with valuations that rival the GDP of mid-sized nations. The logic is simple but terrifying: the winner of the AGI race doesn't just get a market share; they get the keys to the cognitive layer of human civilization.

But there's a glitch in the matrix. When you raise $50 billion just to keep the lights on (read: buy more compute), you aren't building a business—you're funding a physics experiment. We've entered the era of the "Compute-Capital Loop," where the only way to justify the valuation is to build a bigger cluster, which requires more capital, which requires a higher valuation.

Is it a bubble? Probably. But if the bet is that AI becomes the primary interface for all human productivity, then $900 billion is actually a bargain. The only question is whether the utility of the models is scaling as fast as the cost of the GPUs.
