As always, free cash flow and unit economics are more interesting than net profit.

By which metrics Anthropic is making a lot of money.

how exactly can you assume they have unit profitability

  • Plenty of analysis on this point, the inputs are not secret. Check out Semianalysis for example.

    They have something like 70% margin on inference.

    • They had 40% margin on inference in 2025.

      You can quibble about the exact numbers, but I think it’s fairly clear at this point that inference is profitable with decent margins. Like you say, unit economics are more interesting than the profitability of the company as a whole.
