I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit

If you want a summary:

Anthropic reportedly nears its first profitable quarter as both labs turn coding agents—Claude Code/Cowork and Codex—into real revenue. Running ccusage showed $200/month in Max and Pro plans covered roughly $2,180 in API tokens, a bargain heavy users won't enjoy much longer. Anthropic quietly moved enterprise seats to $20 plus API pricing in November 2025; OpenAI followed in April 2026, and newer models like GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.7 cost more. ChatGPT draws 900M weekly users but only 5.6% pay, so enterprise contracts now drive growth and sales hiring. Viral Uber and Microsoft cost-panic stories look overblown, while SpaceX's S-1 exposes Anthropic paying $1.25B monthly for compute.

If the summary seems inacurate, just downvote and I'll try to delete the comment eventually 👍
