Anthropic Hits $30B ARR, OpenAI's Enterprise Problem, and the SaaSpocalypse Reality Check

34 minutes

Anthropic just hit a $30 billion revenue run rate — and that's not even the wildest story this week. In this episode of Fringe Lines, Quinn Devery and William Doom break down why OpenAI may be losing the enterprise race (and why it might not be their fault), what Anthropic's Claude Mythos and Project Glasswing mean for cybersecurity, and whether we're watching the early innings of a full-blown SaaSpocalypse.

Plus: Meta launches Muse Spark on a brand-new AI stack, AWS Trainium has a multi-billion dollar backlog, HubSpot is quietly winning the SaaS spend wars, and Quinn shares his CI/CD pipeline setup with Claude and Cowork.
