## Predicted beats (undated but expected)
- **IPO roadshow** — pre-IPO investor presentations once S-1 goes public; watch for valuation range and governance disclosures
- **LTBT majority threshold** — the trust gains power to elect a majority of directors upon certain milestones; timeline unclear from public filings
- **Mythos general availability** — currently restricted to approved programs; full rollout would signal government export control resolution
- **Defense contract resolution** — either the FASCSA designation is lifted and Anthropic re-enters defense work, or the ban becomes permanent and the market bifurcates between "safety-constrained" and "unrestricted" AI vendors
- **New enterprise partnerships** — TCS and DXC deals (announced Jun 2026) signal push into regulated industries (banking, healthcare)
- **Life sciences division** — [[John Jumper]] hire implies a dedicated AI-for-science effort; watch for product announcements
- **International expansion** — Seoul office opened Jun 2026; London, Tokyo likely next
