What's really happening inside the OpenAI and Anthropic IPO story?

The common story is that public markets are pricing better AI models — but the reality is that investors are also betting on the work layer around those models.

In this episode, I share the inside scoop on the trillion-dollar AI bet:

- Why cheap tokens alone do not capture the value
- How harnesses turn raw intelligence into real work
