Nvidia hikes server prices amid DRAM surge; Anthropic eyes $2T IPO; new agent research emerges

Nvidia is increasing server prices by over 15% due to soaring DRAM costs, impacting AI infrastructure. Concurrently, Nvidia's research suggests that the 'harness' or scaffolding around an LLM, rather than the model itself, is crucial for agent performance, as demonstrated by Claude Opus-5 achieving perfect scores on a benchmark with a smart harness. Meanwhile, Anthropic is reportedly seeking a valuation of over $100 billion for its potential IPO, aiming for a $2 trillion valuation, and a new open-source project called CrowdGPT is exploring decentralized LLM training using consumer GPUs.
