Funding Rounds

Summary

Michael Burry criticized Anthropic's near-$1 trillion valuation and argued that its AI model business is too expensive to sustain. The article says Anthropic recently raised capital at a $965 billion valuation, putting it close to a $1 trillion price tag. Burry warned that the company relies on brute-force compute and that AI infrastructure spending may outpace real demand. He also extended the same skepticism to SpaceX's IPO ambitions and said hype is outweighing fundamentals.
