Elon Musk says that Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet model has 1 trillion parameters and Claude Opus has 5 trillion parameters. XAI’s Grok 4.20, which has 0.5 trillion parameters and there are seven larger models being trained at XAI. Grok Imagine V2 2 variants of 1-trillion-parameter models 2 variants of 1.5-trillion-parameter models 1 variant of a 6-trillion-parameter …
Anthropic Mythos is Anthropic’s newest frontier AI model tier, announced in early April 2026. It will be a step-change in capabilities over their previous top model (Claude Opus 4.6). Mythos is entire higher tier of models that Anthropic says is larger and more intelligent than our Opus models. Why Mythos Is a Big Deal Anthropic …

Anthropic signed a new agreement with Google and Broadcom for multiple gigawatts of next-generation TPU capacity that we expect to come online starting in 2027. This significant expansion of their compute infrastructure will power our frontier Claude models and help us serve extraordinary demand from customers worldwide. The run-rate revenue has now surpassed $30 billion—up …
Eric Schmidt and other AI leaders (Karpathy, Musk, Anthropic executives) have described recursive self-improvement (RSI)—AI autonomously designing, testing, and deploying better versions of itself—as the pivotal transition from narrow, human-guided progress to potentially explosive, closed-loop intelligence growth. RSI is not yet fully autonomous across the entire AI stack with no human oversight but narrow versions …
OpenAI may be a household name, but Anthropic could soon be earning more revenue. Anthropic has recently grown substantially faster (10× vs 3.4× per year) and could overtake OpenAI by mid-2026 if recent trends continue. Extrapolating recent trends is an aggressive way to forecast revenues. Growth rates this high often slow as companies scale, and …
xAI Grok 4.20 has native 4-agent council (Grok = Coordinator/Synthesizer, Harper = Research/Facts/X-grounding, Benjamin = Logic/Math/Code, Lucas = Creative/Balance). They run in parallel on shared weights + KV cache. Internal structured debate rounds + RL-optimized orchestration. It has large gains in reasoning depth, fact-checking, blind-spot detection, and open-ended engineering without exploding costs (effective ~1.5–2.5× single-pass …
XAI Grok 4.20 will include enhancements like improved multimodal capabilities (text, images, video), reduced hallucinations via fact-checking tools, advanced reasoning modes, superior AI trading performance, and boosts in coding, math, and real-world tasks. It aims for better overall intelligence over 4.1. Heavy use of real-time X (Twitter) data is a key differentiator. In the Alpha …
Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini published a blog post describing how he set 16 instances of the company’s Claude Opus 4.6 AI model loose on a shared codebase with minimal supervision, tasking them with building a C compiler from scratch. Over two weeks and nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions costing about $20,000 in API fees, the …
AI first companies are generating real revenue. The leading company is OpenAI and Anthropic also has significant revenue. There is also very fast growth in hundreds of small companies and that revenue growth is faster than SAAS (software as a service). XAI did not have much revenue in 2024 but it has made substantial gains …
OpenAI is winning AI in 2025. They are valued at $500 billion and have nearly 1 billion users. With the huge pace of deals and construction, who wins AI in 2026? Does AMD come from behind to seriously challenge AMD? Who can seriously challenge OpenAI? Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a …
