In the order they appear in the post. Each quotation is the speaker’s words in this post. A label such as “Supported” or “Can’t be checked” is the claim’s current assessment; its page has the evidence and the reasons.

  1. Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid

    Forecast

    “Indeed, THE big issue for Anthropic is that the kind of revenue they were making in the second quarter of this year may well not recur, at the same scale, next year, now that, in the aftermath of the collapse of tokenmaxxing, companies like ATT are increasingly turning to open source models from other vendors, in order to save costs.”

    Our reading: Anthropic's Q2 2026 level of revenue may well not recur at the same scale in 2027, as companies shift to cheaper open source models.

    No horizon

    Qualifier: companies turning to open source models after collapse of tokenmaxxing

  2. Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid

    Recommendation or value judgment

    “When someone boasts about ARR, be sure you know which term they are referring to. Caveat emptor.”

    Our reading: People should check whether boasted ARR means Annual Recurring Revenue or Annualized Run Rate.
