Very proud of @theinformation team who lead on SpaceX ipo coverage for the last six months. We were ahead of the financial and corporate story, the XAI deal, the strategy, the allocations and more and we served readers well. The storylines are likely to get crazy from here too. Well done everyone and we’ll stay on it.

It is hard to overstate the effect of the SpaceX IPO on the mood in Silicon Valley. The impact of the feeling of this new wealth will be felt in so many wild ways.

Wondering why Figma CEO Dylan Field joked at an event that Anthropic was “not consistently candid in their communications" when it came to Claude Design? Anthropic is wielding its newfound power over partners and customers, they say. W/ @amir theinformation.com/articles/…

2026 is a BRUTAL grind in VC. You start in Davos, freeze in Aspen, hit Upfront, survive Milken, then it’s straight to Paris for the French Open. Briefly back in NYC for the Knicks. Then, total blur: SuperReturn in Berlin, Founders Forum in London, then back stateside for the World Cup, back to Paris for Raise AI, Idaho for Sun Valley, quick respite in Mykonos, then the Goldman tech gauntlet, Slush in Finland, NeurIPS in freakin’ Sydney… and *boom*, a productive year of thought leadership and adding value is over, and you’re a wreck.

Gotta love a company that files its S-1 and spends the next week of the news cycle trying to convince people it may not go public soon. (My guess, fwiw, is that they will.)
Exclusive: Altman told staff that rapid advances toward AI systems capable of creating new AI could be a reason to delay OpenAI’s IPO. Read: thein.fo/4e0sMgj

I love that Serena is back and can't wait to watch her. I am also not looking forward to my feed being dominated by clips of every single shot she hits this summer.
Serena's reflexes SHARP as ever 🔥 #HSBCChampionships

Meta is considering charging up to $200 a month for Hatch, a planned AI agent that could build software tools, manage calendars and send emails. The price would put Meta’s consumer AI push in direct competition with top-tier subscriptions from OpenAI and Anthropic. Read more: thein.fo/4g0rQty
