Between these ever more frequent disruptions and Opus 5's unbearable word soup I think Anthropic is more focused on massaging numbers and marketing to rush to IPO ahead of OpenAI than increasing user value.

With Chinese competition just months behind them, they'd need to show a reasonable pathway to some kind of singularity event to justify whatever crazy valuation they intend to get.

Because the recent products for builders ain't it

They can't win against China by technology means. China has practically infinite money to throw at AI. They don't care if they burn billions and billions on it. It's the most disrupting thing since invention of the Internet. Imagine a world where it's normal that people ask a Chinese AI who to vote for or about Hongkong or Taiwan.
