How a Contractor’s Claude Agent Got Into the Pentagon
This week on “Uncanny Valley,” we discuss the contractor who plugged their AI agent into a Pentagon system, Anthropic’s IPO filing, and the volunteers gearing up to counter ICE at the midterms.
This week, Anthropic officially filed for a public offering, marking a significant milestone in the AI industry. The company's S-1 filing reveals staggering financial figures, with revenue of $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, growing more than 14-fold since the same period last year. However, the company is still losing money, and its extensive reliance on three cloud marketplaces, including competitors, raises concerns about its financial stability.
The filing brings a new perspective on Anthropic's business model, focusing heavily on enterprise code, a business area expected to generate the majority of the revenue. With a potential valuation of $2 trillion post-IPO, the company continues to raise more funding than any other company in history, highlighting the high stakes involved in this IPO.
