Revenue for OpenAI and Anthropic has grown wildly. OpenAI grew from $6B to $20B in annualized run-rate revenue over the course of 2025 and reached $24B in March ; Anthropic grew its ARR from $1B to $14B over the same time frame and was at $47B in May . These are “never before seen in the history of capitalism” growth rates which make near trillion-dollar pre-IPO valuations seem rational (perhaps…

Here’s another group project I did, this time with Kaila Prochaska, Michael Sullivan, Rish Bhatnagar, and Matt Macdonald for our Data Science Principles class. It’s all about predicting the outcomes of regular season NBA games. You can view the presentation that was associated with it here , and associated files (e.g. code, data, etc.) here . background Our goal is to predict the winner of an NBA…
The fact that this is on my website doesn’t remotely reflect who did the work here - it reflects the fact that I send a $188 check every year over to Squarespace for a domain name and to avoid fighting with CSS.
