Freelance full-stack developer and AI engineer with 15+ years building web applications. My main lane is Laravel/Vue business software: SaaS products, internal tools, API-heavy apps, legacy PHP modernization, and projects that need an experienced person to stabilize them and move them forward.

I also build AI features into production software: OpenAI/Anthropic/Google API integrations, agent-style workflows, scraping/data pipelines, queues, and content/publishing systems.

Founder/operator background from SaaS, ecommerce, SEO/content, and marketplace projects, so I can help with product scope and business tradeoffs as well as implementation. Best fit: remote freelance or contract work, especially 20+ hours/week or focused rescue/build projects.

The amount of new shares for sale could be very large in those three IPOs:

SpaceX: up to $75B [1]

OpenAI: at least $60B [2]

Anthropic: more than $60B [3]

Together, that would be about $195B+ of IPO shares to buy.

For comparison, all U.S. IPOs together raised $44.0B in 2025 [4].

All IPOs in the world together raised $171.8B in 2025 [5].

So where should the money come from? Either from selling shares in other companies or from loaning money which would only make sense if the Fed brings back ZIRP.

Another scenario would be that they release very little shares but because of their market cap they make up a significant portion of an index so index funds are forced to buy a lot of their shares which would drive prices to insane heights.

Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX all want to IPO within this year. There's just not enough money in the market to buy all those shares. So people might sell their shares in other companies to buy in at the IPO, then when the next one goes public they might sell the shares they just bought to jump onto the next one and so on. I don't think that there was a situation like this ever before.

Yeah I'm worried about that too. Current SOTA models might just be too expensive for most use cases if we had to pay the real costs.

Well it will always be good in a way, but probably won't become better in the near future. Opus 4.7 was a downgrade in a way that gives Anthropic more control and better margins. And they keep Mythos away from the normies, giving access only to large corporations who pay millions for it.

I'd say it's a mixed bag. Yes, price increases are/were expected. But blocking 3rd party harnesses from their subscription and also moving SDK/claude-p access out of the subscription is blocking innovation and therefore future use of Claude models. What I mean is, while Claude models are SOTA, Claude Code is not. It's full of bugs and shortcomings and new innovative harnesses might make better use of the model, but this won't happen now as they are blocked. Same for all the people building their own scripts/workflows around claude -p or the SDK, they will now stop inventing new stuff on top of Claude.

Yes, agree. But if everyone is doing that it will tank productivity which is the point of the article.

From a user’s perspective 4.7 is a downgrade compared to 4.6 . It’s intended to give Anthropic more control about their compute resources and profitability:

I’m working on what I call a Software Delegate [0].

You delegate a task or GitHub issue to it and it uses AI coding agents and developer tools to write the code, run checks, read failures, fix problems, and iterate until the result is good, then comes back with a pull request. It does everything a human dev would do, fully automated.

The effort parameter in Claude Code is essentially useless. It’s just an expression that you wish it to do deeper reasoning but Anthropic can and does ignore it without even telling you.
vincent_s

They also changed how they count tokens. So you could end up with less reasoning while paying for more tokens. Anthropic’s profit margin is definitely higher on 4.7 then it was an 4.6. I’m pretty sure this was the main driver behind this update.

Ha, this triggered me. I'm building exactly this.

It's a coding agent that takes a ticket from your tracker, does the work asynchronously, and replies with a pull request. It does progressively understand the codebase. There's a pre-warming step so it's already useful on the first ticket, but it gets better with each one it completes.

The agent itself is done and working well. Right now I'm building out the infrastructure to offer it as a SaaS.

If anyone wants to try it, hit me up. Email is in my profile. Website isn't live yet, but I'm putting together a waitlist.
