# The AI Daily — 2026-06-05 Source: https://theaidaily.in/issues/2026-06-05.html --- # AI Daily — 2026-06-05 > **TL;DR —** Anthropic is the talk of the market: its annualized revenue hit $47B in May, it's calling for a global AI development pause on safety grounds, and its IPO is close enough that Daniela Amodei is out publicly defending the growth story. Meanwhile, Ramp's $44B valuation — fueled by companies trying to control their AI spend — and the Supabase $500M raise signal that the money keeps flowing into the full AI stack, from applications down to developer infrastructure. --- ##
