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...

  • 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.

    • > 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.
