Anthropic just became the most valuable AI company on earth. There's something bigger buried in the fine print.
Something got buried at the bottom of yesterday's biggest announcement, and most people missed it. Anthropic had the most consequential single day in company history, a Google engineer just became the defendant in a case with no legal precedent, and a Cisco security report dropped that nobody building AI agents wants to sit with. One story involves light moving through fiber instead of electricity, which sounds boring until you understand why Jensen Huang just bet $6.5 billion on it. And Microsoft made two quiet announcements that together say everything about where that company stands right now.
