Anthropic overtakes OpenAI at $30B run rate

Anthropic just hit a $30B revenue run rate—actually surpassing OpenAI (wild)—while simultaneously releasing their powerful Mythos model exclusively for cybersecurity partners and cutting off third-party agent access to Claude subscriptions. Meanwhile, OpenAI's out here proposing robot taxes and four-day work weeks for the AI economy (bold move), and Meta quietly dropped Muse Spark with multi-agent reasoning capabilities. So Anthropic's winning the revenue race but closing the gates—would you trade growth for control?
