PHYSIX OBSERVATION

With $16.8 billion in single-quarter revenue and positive free cash flow, Anthropic is telling IPO investors a story that runs from burning cash to making money. But the foundation of last year's $42 billion net loss is still there, and whether the 85% gross margin holds up and whether safety incidents drag down the valuation are the signals investors should really be watching.
