Who is building their own personal AI OS from the ground up? I would love to talk to you about your strategies and frameworks you are using. Im getting started with mine and plan to scale it to be a whole team running itself with an orchestrator.

I know that some of us might struggle with motivation thinking “will learning AI help me in my career or in my business and is it worth it?“ I’ve been building websites with AI or no code the past two years and I can definitely say if you stick with it, it’s worth it. Just put in the reps.

So this week I was contacted about a role as a forward deployed engineer for Anthropic!!!! My DREAM JOB!! I will be embedded with Anthropic's enterprise clients in NYC helping them build out agents and workflows and automations!!! I was just notified this morning that I'm moving onto the second round! Excited does not even begin to explain it right now. Like a kid again, I never get nervous or giddy but damn if I'm not right now! Need all the good vibes!!!

I just want to take a second and be transparent with this community… A few days ago I had no idea what I was doing. Today? I have TWO fully working AI automation systems running smoothly: ✅ Automated Newsletter Drafter ✅ Personalized Auto Email Responder Built from scratch. No shortcuts. Just learning, failing, and building again. The crazy part is — I'm just getting started. Tomorrow I'm leveling up my tools so I can start building my portfolio and landing page. Because at this point it's not just about learning anymore. It's about showing people what's possible and delivering real results. If your business is drowning in emails or you've been wanting a newsletter but never have time — this is literally what I'm building for people. I'm still early but the systems work and I'm hungry to solve real problems. Drop a 🔥 if you're building something this week too — let's keep each other accountable. A small win in my book :) I know it's a lot.

That's the second-largest private funding round in history, behind only OpenAI. The new valuation puts Anthropic ahead of OpenAI as the most valuable AI company in the world, private or public. Quick transparency up front. I'm not a private equity guy. No insider info on Anthropic. Just trying to make sense of this out loud. Here's what I see happening. Most companies raise pre-seed, seed, then Series A through D. After that they either IPO, get acquired, or run out of road. Anthropic just hit Series H. That isn't necessarily an indication of good or bad. Stripe and SpaceX stayed private on purpose to avoid public-market scrutiny. Slack and Lyft reached Series H and IPO'd within a year. Every company takes a different path. What it does tell you: Anthropic chose to stay private through eight rounds. Bloomberg reported an IPO could come as soon as October of this year. Anthropic's annual revenue jumped from $1 billion in December 2024 to $47 billion this month. Widely cited as the fastest revenue ramp of any software company in history. They now run higher revenue than OpenAI, and the latest projections show them hitting profitability first. Not saying one is "winning" here. Both are still burning billions a year. But the underdog framing for Anthropic is getting harder to defend. What this news has me thinking about is why a company growing this fast still needs another $65 billion. The answer is compute. Dario (the CEO) said it himself a few weeks ago. They planned for 10x growth in 2026. They saw 80x. They literally cannot build datacenters fast enough. Earlier this month, Anthropic leased the entire Colossus 1 datacenter in Memphis from SpaceX. 300 megawatts, over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, $1.25 billion a month. They didn't pick SpaceX over Amazon or Google. Colossus was the only compute available right now. The rest doesn't come online until 2027. This Series H also brought chip manufacturers Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron on as investors. Those three make the high-bandwidth memory that sits on every Nvidia GPU. Getting them invested locks in supply at the most constrained part of the chip stack.
