claude.mazzotta.devdaily briefingFrom the editor
Day 160 and Anthropic is firing on every cylinder simultaneously. The S-1 drops with eye-watering numbers: $16.3B revenue, $80.7B loss (mostly non-cash, but still). Claude Duet quietly enters the personal assistant arena. Claude Mods rethinks the agent UI from first principles. And two MCP Inspector security patches land the same day. The meta-pattern: Anthropic is moving like a company that knows its IPO window is open and intends to own every layer of the stack before competitors can respond.
