Anthropic's One Profitable Quarter Happened Before the Bills Arrived
Anthropic's first operating profit lasted one quarter. Its amended S-1 shows a company short of compute, renting more at higher prices, with $895.4 billion of commitments still to come. Part three of From the Filings reads the documents.
Investor Opinion
One Share Will Outvote Every Other Anthropic Share Combined
Buy Anthropic in its IPO and you get the apartment, not the keys. One share held by the founders carries 50.1% of the vote, a trust picks four of seven directors, and more shares keep coming. Part four of From the Filings reads the documents.

A hotter-than-expected US inflation print knocked chip stocks and the Nasdaq lower, yet AI demand looks as strong as ever. The real shift is in financing: as borrowing costs rise, the market is sorting AI companies by how much they depend on cheap money, with debt-heavy neoclouds like CoreWeave under the most pressure.
Investor Opinion
Three Ropes Used to Pull Companies Onto the Stock Market. All Three Were Cut.
Microsoft, Google and Facebook didn’t all go public because they wanted to. A 1964 shareholder rule forced their hand. Part two of From the Filings traces how a 1996 law, the 2012 JOBS Act and repeatable tender offers cut the three ropes that once pulled young companies onto the stock market, and why IPOs now arrive in a company’s teens.

Using nine documents, from Amazon's 1997 prospectus to Vanguard's count of private unicorns, this piece asks one question: by the time ordinary investors can buy, how much growth is left?
