**New in V2.5 - dramatically better results:**
1. **Smarter scoring across the board.** New relevance scoring with synonym expansion ("hip hop" matches "rap", "MacBook" matches "Mac"), cross-source linking that flags when the same story trends on multiple platforms simultaneously, and X handle resolution that finds viral posts keyword search completely misses. A blinded evaluation scored v2.5 at 4.38/5.0 vs 3.73/5.0 for v1 across 5 test topics.
2. **Hacker News and Polymarket as new sources.** HN stories, Show HN posts, and prediction market odds are now searched, scored, and synthesized alongside Reddit, X, YouTube, and the web. Polymarket surfaces what people are putting real money on - betting odds reflect conviction, not just opinions.
1. **Polymarket prediction markets and Hacker News.** See what people are betting real money on and what the technical community is actually discussing. Search "Arizona Basketball" and get NCAA Tournament championship odds (Arizona: 12%), #1 seed probability (88%), and Big 12 title race (69%) - pulled from 50+ open markets across 10 events, not just Reddit opinions. Search "Iran War" and get 15 live prediction markets with strike probabilities, regime change bets, and war declaration odds. Two-pass query expansion with tag-based domain bridging discovers markets where your topic is an outcome buried inside a broader event, not just a title keyword match. HN stories, Show HN posts, and comment insights are scored by points + comments and participate in cross-source convergence detection.
2. **Multi-signal quality-ranked relevance scoring.** Every result across all six sources runs through a composite scoring pipeline: bidirectional text similarity with synonym expansion and token overlap, engagement velocity normalization, source authority weighting, cross-platform convergence detection via hybrid trigram-token Jaccard similarity, and temporal recency decay. Polymarket markets are ranked on a 5-factor weighted composite - text relevance (30%), 24-hour volume (30%), liquidity depth (15%), price movement velocity (15%), and outcome competitiveness (10%) - with outcome-aware scoring that matches your topic against individual market positions, not just event titles. A blinded evaluation scored v2.5 at 4.38/5.0 vs 3.73/5.0 for v1 across 5 test topics.
3. **X handle resolution.** Search "Dor Brothers" and the skill resolves their handle (@thedorbrothers), then searches their posts directly - finding their 5,600-like viral tweet that keyword search missed entirely. Works for people, brands, products, and tools.

## Example: Anthropic Odds (Prediction Markets)
**Query:** `/last30days anthropic odds`
**Research Output:**
> **Pentagon standoff is THE story right now** - Defense Secretary Hegseth gave Anthropic a Friday deadline to drop AI guardrails for military use or face blacklisting via the Defense Production Act, per CBS, CNN, Bloomberg, and a wave of X posts from @The__GDD, @trendy_tech_, and @jimkaskade. The trigger was Claude's use during the Maduro capture operation in January. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei insists AI-controlled weapons and mass surveillance are lines the company won't cross. Polymarket traders put the ban odds at just 22%, signaling they think it's posturing, per @Lolipeterh.
>
> **Prediction markets love Anthropic's tech, skeptical on IPO** - Polymarket gives Anthropic a 98% chance of having the best AI model at end of February and 61% for March (Google at 22%, OpenAI at 10%). Claude 4.6 is dominating. But the IPO picture is murkier: @predictheory flagged that Anthropic IPO-first odds on Kalshi "fell through the floor, ~70% down to the low teens in one move." Polymarket has Anthropic at 64% to IPO before OpenAI, but 95% NO on an IPO by June 2026. Meanwhile, 87% odds Anthropic hits $500B+ valuation this year - current valuation is $380B after a $30B raise led by GIC and Coatue, per Fortune.
>
> **Claude FrontierMath odds surging** - Polymarket's "Will Claude score 50% on FrontierMath?" market jumped 28% today to 48% YES. This is a live bet on whether Claude can crack elite-level math benchmarks by June 30.
**Key patterns from the research:**
1. Pentagon standoff as posturing - Polymarket gives only 22% chance of actual ban, money says it's negotiation theater
2. Model dominance vs IPO uncertainty - 98% best model, but IPO timing is wide open
3. FrontierMath as a live benchmark bet - real money tracking Claude's capability trajectory
4. Big money piling in - Dan Sundheim's D1 Capital, Amazon's quiet bet, $380B valuation
**Research Stats:** 25 X posts (218 likes) + 13 YouTube videos (719K views) + 6 HN stories (48 points) + 11 Polymarket markets (Best model Feb: 98%, March: 61%, IPO first: 64%, $500B+ val: 87%, FrontierMath 50%: 48%)
This example shows /last30days as a **prediction market intelligence tool** - two words ("anthropic odds") and you get 11 live Polymarket positions spanning model benchmarks, IPO timing, valuation milestones, and the Pentagon standoff, all synthesized with X commentary, YouTube analysis, and HN discussion. The two-pass query expansion found markets where "Anthropic" is an outcome inside broader "best AI model" and "AI company IPO" events.

## What's New in V2.5
### Dramatically better results
### Polymarket prediction markets and Hacker News
**The biggest upgrade is result quality.** V2.5 finds more relevant content, surfaces stronger signals, and catches things keyword search completely misses. Three improvements work together:
**The killer feature: see what people are betting real money on.** Polymarket prediction markets are searched for any topic, surfacing live odds, 24-hour volume, liquidity, and price movements alongside what people are saying on Reddit/X/YouTube/HN.
**Smarter scoring** - New relevance scoring with synonym expansion means "hip hop" matches "rap", "MacBook" matches "Mac", "AI video" matches "text to video". A rap music mix titled "Lit Hip Hop Mix 2026" went from relevance 0.33 (almost filtered out) to 0.71. Channel authority weighting boosts results from established creators. Title + transcript matching catches videos that discuss your topic without mentioning it in the title.
Search "Arizona Basketball" and you get:
- NCAA Tournament Winner - Arizona: 12% (30 open markets, $1.2M volume)
- #1 Seed in NCAA Tournament - Arizona: 88% (20 open markets)
- Big 12 Regular Season Champion - Arizona: 69%
**Cross-source linking** - When the same story appears on multiple platforms, the skill flags it with `[also on: Reddit, HN]` or `[also on: X, YouTube]`. These cross-platform signals are the strongest evidence that something actually matters - not just engagement on one platform, but convergence across all of them. Uses hybrid similarity (character trigram Jaccard + token Jaccard) to detect matches even when titles differ across platforms.
Search "Iran War" and you get 15 live prediction markets: US strikes by March (70%), War Powers resolution (60%), Khamenei out by March 31 (18%), war declaration (2%).
**X handle resolution** - Search "Dor Brothers" and the skill resolves their handle (@thedorbrothers), then searches their posts directly with no topic filter. Their viral tweet - "We made a $300M movie starring @LoganPaul with AI in less than 7 days" (5,600+ likes) - never says "Dor Brothers" in the text. Keyword search can't find it. Handle resolution can. Result: 40 X posts (6,900+ likes) instead of 30 (161 likes). Works for people, brands, products, and tools. [Details below.](#x-handle-resolution-details)
**Two-pass query expansion with tag-based domain bridging** discovers markets the Gamma API can't find through title search alone. When your topic is an *outcome* buried inside a broader market (e.g., "Arizona" is a betting option inside "NCAA Tournament Winner"), the first pass searches all individual topic words in parallel, extracts structured category tags from the results (like "NCAA CBB", "Geopolitics"), then runs a second-pass search on those domain indicators. The result: markets that are invisible to keyword search become discoverable through domain context.
**Neg-risk binary market synthesis** handles Polymarket's multi-outcome events (where each team/entity is a separate Yes/No market). The engine detects the binary sub-market pattern, extracts entity names from market questions, and synthesizes a unified outcome display - showing "Arizona: 12%, Duke: 18%, Houston: 15%" instead of raw "Yes: 12%, No: 88%" for each sub-market.
**Hacker News as a source** - HN stories, Show HN posts, and Ask HN threads are searched via the Algolia API, scored by points + comments, and synthesized alongside all other sources. Comment insights are extracted from top threads to surface the technical community's actual take. HN items participate in cross-source convergence detection - when the same topic trends on HN AND Reddit AND YouTube, that signal gets flagged.
No API keys required for either source. Inspired by community PRs from [@ARJ999](https://github.com/ARJ999) ([#12](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/12)) and [@wkbaran](https://github.com/wkbaran) ([#26](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/26)), with [@gbessoni](https://github.com/gbessoni) endorsing HN as the right addition.
### Multi-signal quality-ranked relevance scoring
**Every result across all six sources runs through a composite scoring pipeline.** V2.5 doesn't just find more content - it ranks it with significantly higher precision.
**Text similarity engine** - Bidirectional substring matching with synonym expansion ("hip hop" matches "rap", "MacBook" matches "Mac", "AI video" matches "text to video") and token-level overlap scoring. A rap music mix titled "Lit Hip Hop Mix 2026" went from relevance 0.33 (almost filtered out) to 0.71. Title + transcript matching catches videos that discuss your topic without mentioning it in the title.
**Polymarket 5-factor weighted composite** - Markets are ranked by text relevance (30%), 24-hour trading volume (30%), liquidity depth (15%), price movement velocity (15%), and outcome competitiveness (10%). Outcome-aware scoring matches your topic against individual market positions using bidirectional substring matching and token overlap - not just event titles. A market with your topic at 88% probability ranks higher than one where it's at 2%.
**Cross-platform convergence detection** - When the same story appears on multiple platforms, the skill flags it with `[also on: Reddit, HN]` or `[also on: X, YouTube]`. Uses hybrid similarity (character trigram Jaccard + token Jaccard) to detect matches even when titles differ across platforms. These cross-platform signals are the strongest evidence that something actually matters.
**Channel authority weighting** - Boosts results from established creators. Source-specific engagement normalization ensures a 500-upvote Reddit thread and a 5,000-like X post are compared on equal footing.

### Polymarket prediction markets as a source
**What people are putting real money on.** Polymarket prediction markets are searched for any topic, surfacing betting odds and price movements alongside what people are saying on Reddit/X/YouTube/HN. Search "Iran" and you'll find markets on US strikes, Khamenei's future, and nuclear negotiations - with live odds and volume.
Uses smart multi-query expansion (same approach as YouTube synonym expansion and X handle resolution) to cast a wider net. "Arizona Basketball" finds markets on Big 12 title odds, NCAA tournament seeding, and March Madness outcomes - not just literal keyword matches.

Stats: 2 Reddit threads | 112 upvotes | 37 X posts | ~4,200 likes | ~380 reposts | 15 YouTube videos | 517K views | 3 with transcripts | 6 Polymarket markets | ~30 web pages
Top voices: @ArizonaMBB (960 likes), @MrAzSports (449 likes), @JonRothstein | r/CollegeBasketball
Key findings:
- Arizona 25-2 (13-2 Big 12), set program record with 22-0 start, 2-game Big 12 lead with 3 games left
- Projected #1 seed in West region (San Jose) for March Madness per NCAA.com and CBS bracket previews
- Polymarket odds: Championship 13%, #1 Seed 88%, Big 12 title race Arizona leads by 2
- The Field of 68 dubbed them "the TOUGHEST team in America" after escaping Baylor 87-80 shorthanded
- #1 ranking debate: Duke vs Arizona vs Michigan - Jon Rothstein has Duke #1, Arizona #2
- Kansas rematch Feb 28: @ArizonaMBB promoting "STRIPE OUT" at McKale Center, first meeting highlight video 248K views on ESPN YouTube
- Tommy Lloyd's March Madness record looms: 6-4 in four NCAA trips, never past Sweet 16
Note: This was the test that validated the Polymarket two-pass query expansion (v2.2-cross). Previous version only found 2 markets (Big 12 title + irrelevant NAU game). New version finds 6 markets including Championship odds, #1 Seed, and Big 12 title race via tag-based domain expansion.

⎿ Did 1 search in 8s
⏺ What I learned:
Arizona is having a historic season and the narrative is "Final Four or bust." The Wildcats are 25-2
(13-2 Big 12), set a program record with a 22-0 start, and hold a 2-game lead atop the Big 12 with three
games left. They're projected as a #1 seed in the West region (San Jose) for March Madness, per NCAA.com
and CBS bracket previews.
The team's identity is toughness and balance. The Field of 68 dubbed them "the TOUGHEST team in America"
after they escaped Baylor 87-80 on Feb 24 - and they did it shorthanded, without Koa Peat or Dwayne
Aristode. CBS Sports highlighted how "Arizona's BALANCE could take them to a Final Four" after the Houston
road win. @ArizonaMBB's postgame content from the Baylor win pulled nearly 1,000 likes per post.
The #1 ranking debate is real - Duke, Arizona, or Michigan? Jon Rothstein's latest rankings have Duke #1,
Arizona #2, Michigan #3, per @JonRothstein. The Field of 68 ran a whole segment asking "Who MOST deserves
to be No. 1?" with the verdict being "All THREE have a case." On Polymarket, bettors give Arizona a 13%
chance to win the NCAA Tournament (Duke and Michigan each at 18%) and an 88% chance to earn a #1 seed.
Saturday's Kansas rematch is the game everyone's watching. @ArizonaMBB is promoting a "STRIPE OUT" for the
Feb 28 home game vs KU. Arizona beat Kansas 86-83 in Lawrence on Feb 10 (that highlight video has 248K
views on ESPN's YouTube), and Locked On Wildcats is already breaking down "Arizona's ADJUSTMENTS to BEAT
KANSAS" with a focus on Darryn Peterson's role. Nebraska fans are even rooting for Arizona in this one, per
@jamespruch.
The Big 12 title race is Arizona's to lose, but the schedule is brutal. Kansas, Iowa State, Houston, and
Texas Tech are all tied at 11-4, two games back. Arizona closes with Kansas (Feb 28) and Iowa State - the
toughest remaining schedule in the conference, per Heartland College Sports. A four-way tie for second is
still possible.
Tommy Lloyd's March Madness record looms large. The Wildcats are 6-4 in four NCAA Tournament trips under
Lloyd and haven't made it past the Sweet 16. Yahoo Sports is asking the "Final Four or bust?" question
directly - the talent and record demand a deep run this year.

- Polymarket odds with $425M in volume: US strikes by 2026 70%, War Powers invocation 60%, Israel strikes by June 64%, Khamenei out by March 18%, enrichment deal 16%, formal war declaration only 8%
- Pentagon brass leaking opposition hard - Breaking Points (435K views) covered leaked assessments showing military leadership doesn't want this
- Scott Ritter's war breakdown on Judge Napolitano pulled 272K views, 15.9K likes
- Iraq War 2003 parallels drawn across all platforms - Al Jazeera ran direct comparison piece
- Iran playing both sides: FM Araghchi says deal "within reach" while IRGC seized two tankers near Farsi Island
- r/Conservative "imploding" after Trump struck Iran - "no wars" promise colliding with reality per r/SubredditDrama
- Markets expect limited strikes with War Powers, NOT a declared war - the sharpest signal in the entire research
Note: This was the "perfect" Polymarket test case - 14 markets found via tag-based domain expansion ("Geopolitics", "Middle East"). Iran/War appear directly in event titles so first-pass queries already find most markets. The domain expansion added 4 more.

⏺ What I learned:
The US-Iran crisis is at a knife's edge - simultaneous war buildup and diplomacy. The
US has deployed its largest military concentration in the Middle East in decades -
150+ aircraft, two carrier strike groups (Abraham Lincoln and Gerald R. Ford) - while
a third round of nuclear talks is literally happening today in Geneva, per NPR and
Axios. Polymarket bettors have put $425M on strike timing, with 70% odds of US strikes
by year-end and 57% by March 31.
Pentagon brass is leaking opposition hard. Top generals are warning through back
channels that an Iran war would be a "disaster" - Breaking Points covered leaked
Pentagon assessments showing military leadership desperately doesn't want this. On
YouTube, the Breaking Points video alone pulled 435K views. Scott Ritter's breakdown
on Judge Napolitano (272K views, 15.9K likes) laid out what a war would actually look
like operationally. Per @TheGreenElf29 and r/politics, Iraq War parallels are
everywhere - Al Jazeera ran a piece directly comparing Trump's 2026 playbook to Bush's
2003 script.
Iran is playing both sides - "deal within reach" while seizing tankers. FM Araghchi
said a deal is "within reach" if diplomacy gets priority, but Iran's IRGC seized two
oil tankers near Farsi Island in early February and attempted to intercept a
US-escorted tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's line: any US strike, even
"limited," would be considered an act of aggression requiring retaliation, per
r/politics and Al Jazeera.
Prediction markets are the sharpest signal here. The money says:
- US strikes Iran by 2026: 70% (down 33% this month as talks progressed)
- Trump invokes War Powers by March 31: 60% (up 19% this month)
- Israel strikes Iran by June: 64% (up 8%)
- Khamenei out by March 31: 18%
- Iran agrees to end enrichment by March 31: 16%
- Official US war declaration: only 8%
The takeaway: markets expect strikes but NOT a declared war - a limited strike
scenario with War Powers invocation is the consensus bet.
Congress is pushing back. Sen. Kaine is pushing a war powers resolution requiring a
congressional vote before any Iran strike. On YouTube, his statement got 10K views.
Reddit's r/politics had three threads in the top-scored results all framing war as
imminent and catastrophic. Notably, a meta-thread on r/NoStupidQuestions (70 upvotes)
asked whether Reddit was censoring Iran war discussions - suggesting the topic is
hitting mainstream awareness fast.
r/Conservative is splitting. A SubredditDrama thread documented r/Conservative
"imploding" after Trump struck Iran - the "no wars" promise colliding with reality,
per r/SubredditDrama.
KEY PATTERNS from the research:
1. Dual-track crisis - war preparation and diplomacy happening simultaneously, with
Trump setting a 10-15 day deadline for a "meaningful deal," per Axios
2. Iraq playbook echo - commentators across all platforms drawing direct 2003
parallels, per Al Jazeera and r/politics
3. Military doesn't want this - Pentagon leaking opposition is a strong signal of
internal resistance, per Breaking Points (435K views)
4. Strait of Hormuz as flashpoint - tanker seizures and Iran's submarine capability in
shallow waters making this the likeliest escalation trigger, per HN and Stars and
Stripes
5. Real money says limited strikes, not full war - Polymarket odds suggest strikes but
only 8% chance of formal war declaration

I'm now an expert on the Iran war situation. Some things you could ask:
- What are the realistic scenarios for the next 2 weeks given the Geneva talks
deadline?
- How does the military buildup compare to June 2025 strikes, and what would "limited
strikes" actually target?
- What happens to oil markets and global economy if the Strait of Hormuz gets shut
down?

### Anthropic Odds (PREDICTION MARKETS) - VERIFIED 2/26, POLYMARKET INTEGRATION
Stats: 25 X posts | 218 likes | 38 reposts | 13 YouTube videos | 719,854 views | 4 with transcripts | 6 HN stories | 48 points | 36 comments | 11 Polymarket markets | ~30 web pages
Top voices: @tradermap_whale (whale trades), @predictheory (IPO odds), @Lolipeterh (Pentagon analysis) | CBS Mornings, CNN, Bloomberg
Key findings:
- Pentagon standoff is THE story: Defense Secretary Hegseth gave Anthropic a Friday deadline to drop AI guardrails for military use or face blacklisting via Defense Production Act
- Polymarket: Best AI model Feb 98% (Anthropic), March 61%, IPO before OpenAI 64%, $500B+ valuation 87%, FrontierMath 50% score 48% (up 28% today)
- Anthropic quietly loosened safety policy amid Pentagon pressure - CNN reports a caveat added to core safety promise. HN top comment: "The reality of competition."
- IPO odds volatile: Kalshi IPO-first odds "fell through the floor, ~70% down to the low teens in one move" per @predictheory
- Pentagon ban odds only 22% - money says it's posturing, not real blacklisting
Note: Perfect showcase for Polymarket as a source - 11 markets spanning model benchmarks, IPO timing, valuation milestones, Pentagon politics, and math benchmarks. Two-pass expansion found "Anthropic" as an outcome inside broader "best AI model" and "AI company IPO" events. Just two words ("anthropic odds") produced a comprehensive prediction market intelligence briefing.

⎿ Did 1 search in 8s
⏺ What I learned:
Pentagon standoff is THE story right now - Defense Secretary Hegseth gave Anthropic a
Friday deadline to drop AI guardrails for military use or face blacklisting via the
Defense Production Act, per CBS, CNN, Bloomberg, and a wave of X posts from @The__GDD,
@trendy_tech_, and @jimkaskade. The trigger was Claude's use during the Maduro
capture operation in January. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei insists AI-controlled weapons
and mass surveillance are lines the company won't cross. Polymarket traders put the
ban odds at just 22%, signaling they think it's posturing, per @Lolipeterh.
Anthropic loosened its safety policy anyway - Amid the pressure, CNN reports Anthropic
quietly added a caveat to its core safety promise. HN's @KerrickStaley posted the
Bloomberg piece on this, with the top comment simply: "The reality of competition."
This is a significant moment - the first crack in Anthropic's safety-first brand.
Prediction markets love Anthropic's tech, skeptical on IPO - Polymarket gives
Anthropic a 98% chance of having the best AI model at end of February and 61% for
March (Google at 22%, OpenAI at 10%). Claude 4.6 is dominating. But the IPO picture is
murkier: @predictheory flagged that Anthropic IPO-first odds on Kalshi "fell through
the floor, ~70% down to the low teens in one move." Polymarket has Anthropic at 64% to
IPO before OpenAI, but 95% NO on an IPO by June 2026. Meanwhile, 87% odds Anthropic
hits $500B+ valuation this year - current valuation is $380B after a $30B raise led by
GIC and Coatue, per Fortune.
Claude FrontierMath odds surging - Polymarket's "Will Claude score 50% on
FrontierMath?" market jumped 28% today to 48% YES. This is a live bet on whether
Claude can crack elite-level math benchmarks by June 30.
Big money is piling in - Dan Sundheim's D1 Capital bets on Anthropic featured on
Invest Like The Best (18K views), and "Amazon's Quiet Bet on Anthropic" from Dumb
Money Live got 9K views. Anthropic's Super Bowl ads and the @grok account noting
Claude "self-reporting 15-20% consciousness odds" added to the buzz.

⎿ Did 1 search in 9s
⏺ What I learned:
OpenAI's IPO is the mega-market - Polymarket traders have wagered $21M+ across
multiple markets tracking OpenAI's path to going public. The market gives just 51.5%
odds of an IPO by end of 2026, with "No IPO by Dec 31" at 49%. If it happens, the
leading closing cap bracket is $1.25T-$1.5T at 52% among if-IPO outcomes. Meanwhile,
only 11% chance of a $1T+ IPO before 2027 - and SpaceX crushes it at 95% vs OpenAI's
5% for higher IPO cap, per @Polymarket. The massive $100B funding round at $830B
valuation suggests OpenAI may be in no rush, per MLQ AI.
AI agents are eating Polymarket alive - This is the real crossover story. Automated
traders have extracted ~$40M through arbitrage, per Yahoo Finance. Arbitrage windows
have compressed from 12.3 seconds (2024) to just 2.7 seconds. OpenClaw and Clawdbot
are the dominant agent platforms - Coin Bureau Trading documented +1,560% ROI using
OpenClaw for Polymarket trading. New infrastructure like LuckyLobster just launched as
a dedicated AI-native execution layer for autonomous Polymarket trading, per
@jayendra_jog noting that crypto/prediction markets have "never had more mainstream
adoption."
OpenAI hardware bets are heating up - @Polymarket broke that OpenAI reportedly has
200+ people working on an "AI lamp" and other devices (810 likes). But the market is
skeptical: only 3.2% chance of a consumer hardware launch by March 31.
Earbuds/headphones are the most likely product category at 46%, per @k_shamil57907.
Anthropic is winning the model race, not OpenAI - The "best AI model end of February"
market has Anthropic at 98% with Google down 6.8% this week. OpenAI isn't even
competitive this month. On X, @JFahandazh is "very bullish on Anthropic - OpenAI could
never be this good."
GPT-5.3 mystery bet - @camolNFT flagged a new wallet dropping $2,500 on GPT-5.3 NOT
releasing by Feb 28, calling it a potential "OpenAI insider." The bet would net $1,000
profit if right.
Sam Altman equity watch - Will Altman get OpenAI equity by June 30? Currently at 33%
on Polymarket, with @lexispawn taking a position at those odds, arguing "OpenAI board
restructuring is happening NOW."

I'm now an expert on OpenAI + Polymarket. Some things I can help with:
- Break down the IPO timing odds vs. the $100B private funding - is the market saying
OpenAI doesn't need to go public?
- Explain the AI agent trading ecosystem (OpenClaw vs Clawdbot vs LuckyLobster) and
what strategies still work
- Analyze why Anthropic is dominating the "best model" market while OpenAI leads in
IPO hype
