Anthropic’s annual revenue soared to US$65 billion, growing much faster than OpenAI. The revenue of artificial intelligence model startup Anthropic is not only growing at a historic rate, but also showing an acceleration trend. According to a report by Bloomberg on Monday, as of the end of July this year, the company's annualized revenue run rate (i.e., total annual revenue based on recent revenue over a shorter period of time) has exceeded $65 billion. This figure is a significant increase from $47 billion in May this year, and was only $9 billion at the end of last year. In response to related reports, Anthropic has not immediately responded to media requests for comment. However, according to the Financial Times report, the company’s investors expect Anthropic to continue to maintain a similar growth rate during the rest of this year, and its annual revenue is expected to reach between US$100 billion and US$120 billion by the end of 2026. At the same time, OpenAI, its main competitor, has also achieved significant growth. Bloomberg reported last week that OpenAI’s revenue has doubled from US$20 billion at the end of 2025 to US$40 billion. Although there may be differences in the calculation methods of revenue indicators between the two companies, in comparison, Anthropic's more amazing growth rate is obviously more attractive to investors. Currently, both companies have confidentially submitted application documents for initial public offerings (IPOs). The market generally expects that Anthropic will hit the public market before OpenAI, and may be completed as soon as this fall. According to the Financial Times, Anthropic will seek to reach or exceed a public market valuation of US$2 trillion when it goes public. If achieved, this is expected to make it the largest listing transaction in history. Prior to this, in late May this year, Anthropic completed a round of financing of US$65 billion, when the company was valued at US$965 billion. via cnBeta.COM - Chinese industry information station (author: source: cnBeta.COM)
