Silicon Valley's biggest story today: Anthropic raised a record $65B Series H at a $965B valuation, leapfrogging OpenAI as the most valuable AI company and shipping Claude Opus 4.8 the same week. The AI capex-and-revenue boom rippled everywhere — Dell posted its best day ever as AI server revenue jumped 757%, Baseten is in talks for $1B at $11B, and Groq is raising $650M. On the platform side, Microsoft is quietly building its own foundation models to reduce OpenAI dependency, Nvidia is teasing an Arm-based laptop SoC at Computex with Microsoft, and SpaceX banked another $4.16B Space Force contract for Trump's Golden Dome — while rival Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded in a fiery test setback. Tensions surfaced underneath: a reported $500M one-month Claude bill, accelerating AI-driven layoffs, and inference startups squeezed by Nvidia costs.

Anthropic dominates the day — a ~$65B raise nearing $1T (overtaking OpenAI), the Claude Opus 4.8 launch, and a ~$36B Apollo/Blackstone deal to lease Google TPUs. But the through-line is the money trail of the AI build-out: Dell's AI-server revenue jumped 757%, Samsung began shipping HBM4E memory, Snowflake had its best day ever (+36%), and SpaceX is eyeing a $1.8T IPO — even as 'tokenmaxxing' fades and engineering teams start trimming AI spend. Around it: Apple licensing Google's Gemini for Siri, Mistral's 'Vibe' relaunch, Waymo pulling far ahead of Tesla, and agentic commerce arriving as Visa invests in Replit.
