This episode of EUVC dives into the shifting dynamics of the global AI landscape, spotlighting Anthropic's rapid ascent as it overtakes OpenAI in revenue run rate—reaching $30 billion annually, tripled in six months—and its growing dominance in Europe, where revenues have surged 9x and enterprise clients have increased 10x. The hosts analyze Anthropic's new Mythos model, which sets new benchmarks in cybersecurity with a 72.4% exploit-to-vulnerability ratio, and its strategic acquisition of Coefficient Bio for $400 million in stock, signaling a major bet on AI in life sciences. The discussion extends to the looming wave of mega-IPOs—SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic—raising concerns about capital market saturation, with $250 billion in potential public equity issuance potentially draining liquidity from private markets. Jamie Dimon’s annual letter is examined for its warnings on inflation, private credit risks, and AI’s transformative role in enterprise, while Europe’s AI moment is framed around regulatory advantage, defense modernization via the Agile Fund, and the strategic positioning of Anthropic as a de facto European AI partner. Climate tech, though renamed for resilience over emissions, remains a resilient investment theme despite political headwinds.
Anthropic has surpassed OpenAI in revenue run rate ($30B vs $25B) and is monetizing 8x more per user, with Europe now its fastest-growing region.
Mythos, Anthropic’s new frontier model, achieves a 72.4% exploit-to-vulnerability ratio—far exceeding prior models—signaling a paradigm shift in AI-powered cybersecurity.
Anthropic’s $400M acquisition of Coefficient Bio reflects a strategic pivot into AI-driven life sciences, leveraging venture-building from Dimension Capital.
The 2026 IPO wave (SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic) could raise $250B+ in public equity, risking capital market saturation and challenging European venture fundraising.
Europe’s regulatory edge and defense modernization efforts (e.g., Agile Fund) create a fertile environment for AI startups, positioning Anthropic as a natural European AI partner.

The AI Power Shift: Anthropic Overtakes OpenAI
“Anthropic has caught up OpenAI quite significantly, right? So the Pentagon stuff either hasn't bitten yet, which is my assumption.”
Mythos and the Cybersecurity Revolution
“Mythos has a 72.4% ratio. Yeah, I was looking at the benchmark. I was looking at even some of the weaker benchmarks and they're like 20 points ahead. It was quite crazy how impressive this model is.”
Anthropic’s $400M Bio-Play and Venture-Building Strategy
“If the anthropic valuation doubles or triples in the next like six to nine months, which it really should do... Dimension is sitting on something like a 60x return there.”
The 2026 IPO Wave and Capital Market Crunch
The hosts assess the flood of mega-IPOs—SpaceX ($2T), OpenAI ($850B), Anthropic ($60B raise)—and their potential to raise $250B+ in public equity. They warn of capital market saturation, with 2025 IPOs all losing value post-listing, and question whether European markets can absorb the draw on institutional allocators.
Jamie Dimon’s Warning: Inflation, Private Credit, and AI’s Role
The episode examines JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon’s 48-page annual letter, highlighting his accurate long-term structural warnings (fiscal deficits, fintech disruption) and his flawed timing predictions. The hosts focus on his current warnings about inflation, private credit risks, and JP Morgan’s $20B annual AI spend, which has already delivered $2B in cost savings.
“I think Anthropic will become our partner of choice. And we'll see that across governments, across enterprise, across small business.”
“Mythos has a 72.4% ratio. Yeah, I was looking at the benchmark. I was looking at even some of the weaker benchmarks and they're like 20 points ahead. It was quite crazy how impressive this model is.”
“If the anthropic valuation doubles or triples in the next like six to nine months, which it really should do... Dimension is sitting on something like a 60x return there.”
