A software engineer recently joining a US company revealed that their firm is projected to spend a massive $10 million per year on Anthropic's Claude.
The engineer's personal slice of the API usage amounts to $60k. This indicates that Anthropic is generating massive revenue from enterprise B2B contracts, making individual $200/month subscriptions irrelevant to their bottom line.
