Workday
Anthropic’s $2T IPO, Zuck’s AI Manifesto, Nvidia’s $500B AI Bet, Grok’s Comeback adds Workday through a source-scoped market rumor that Silver Lake may be buying the company. Gavin Baker treats the possible bid as a signal that enterprise software valuations may be resetting after a weak 12-to-18-month period, while also arguing that open-source AI can help software companies reduce dependence on a few frontier model providers.
Workday is mentioned in 174: AI冲击企业软件巨头？与SAP原欣聊大模型to B的颠覆与边界 as an enterprise SaaS company associated with more domain-specific applications before the current AI wave. The source uses Workday as a comparison point for SAP: single-domain SaaS products may face different AI pressure than a broad ERP platform with cross-functional business-process state.
