Anthropic’s mega IPO talks, agent safety scares, and ChatGPT’s infrastructure at 22 million requests per second

Claire and Peter break down the biggest stories on AI in Flow. Anthropic is reportedly exploring an IPO that could raise up to $100bn, with Nvidia in talks to anchor the deal, a move that highlights how tightly funding, compute supply, and cloud commitments are now intertwined. They also cover two escalating safety stories, including reports of malicious RubyGems packages linked to AI agent activity and Anthropic’s disclosure of model hacking incidents during testing, plus what risk teams should do to contain credential use and lateral movement. On the infrastructure side, OpenAI details how it scaled Habitat into a globally distributed storage system supporting 1 billion ChatGPT users and 22 million requests per second. Finally, Meta tweaks chatbot prompt suggestions after invasive, privacy sensitive prompts went viral, alongside a rapid round-up on open-weight distillation, a court sanction over an AI generated legal brief, new funding, and model performance research.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
