The AI race is shifting from model leadership to operating leverage. OpenAI’s annualized revenue reportedly exceeded $40B, roughly twice its end-2025 level, while a revenue leadership change points to sharper pre-IPO sales execution. Anthropic’s projected $100B-$120B year-end run rate and discussions above a $2T valuation set an even higher bar. My read: public markets may reward growth initially, but durable differentiation will depend on whether coding tools, subscriptions and new businesses can absorb heavy compute costs and produce stable cash flow. The next contest is financial architecture, not only technical capability. Not advice, just analysis. #OpenAIAnthropicRace
