Anthropic grows revenue twelvefold but posts $23 billion loss
Anthropic posted quarterly revenue of nearly $17 billion, twelve times a year earlier, but operating costs of $17.5 billion led to a net loss of $23.3 billion, up from $12.1 billion a year ago, according to Bloomberg and The Information. Key cost drivers include $5 billion in locked-in short-term compute and $2 billion in employee donation matching; its updated prospectus shows $895 billion in compute and data center lease commitments, with an IPO expected to raise around $100 billion.
