I think that fact that IPOs have grown slower over the years is more about larger VC markets where they can fund valuations up to hundreds of billions rather than something to do with adoption. As you note, Netscape and Amazon IPOed fairly

If you like Mercury 2 you should try Xiaomi Mimo-v2-flash. I have an agentic benchmark and it shows Mercury 2 at 19/25 in 58 seconds and Mimo v2 Flash at 22/25 in 109 seconds https://sql-benchmark.nicklothian.com/?

Ok.. So as I said: Google made around $20B in profit on 2025 Q4 which includes AI search. Both revenue and profit grew with the introduction of AI search. So where exactly is this big loss you speak so confidently of?
