| How is it strange? The "exceeds $5B" quote was from December 2025. Anthropic has seen tremendous growth since then, ever since Claude Code with Opus 4.5 got really good at coding. If you've ever been at a startup, this is exactly what it looks like when you go from not having product-market fit to having it (though with a few extra zeros on the end compared to most). |

| Ah yes, December 2025...such a long, long time ago... |

| ▲ | enraged_camel an hour ago | parent [-] | | Your comment is not a serious one. Their revenue has quadrupled in just a few months. So yes, December 2025 is a long time ago now. | | |
| ▲ | hansmayer an hour ago | parent [-] | | > Their revenue has quadrupled in just a few months Maybe, maybe not. We haven't seen that S-1 yet. All we have is the 5B in lifetime so far. PLUS - revenue quadrupled or not, it only matters if their costs did not expand at the same rate or more. Revenue is not profit. | | |
| ▲ | aspenmartin 41 minutes ago | parent [-] | | OK, so when S-1 comes out you will finally allow yourself to be wrong? Your prior is, a 1T company plans to IPO and their leader has been loudly committing an insane amount of fraud? I mean this of course is possible but that is quite the conspiracy. The scrutiny of an IPO would be a crazy thing to do if you were committing fraud at the scale you're suggesting. Revenue is not profit yet the discussion in this particular thread is about revenue. | | |
