> "Anthropic projects as much as $26 billion in annualized revenue in 2026".

Anthropic projects a lot. It's hard to get actuals from Anthropic.[1] They're privately held, so they don't have to report actuals publicly. [1] says "Anthropic has, through July 2025, made around $1.5 billion in revenue." $26 billion for 2026 seems unlikely.

This is revenue, not profit.
