kristoph · x · 2026-08-14
Addressing the amazement over Anthropic's projected revenue skyrocketing to $47 billion by 2026, a user pointed out that the figure is misleading. They clarified that this is not Anthropic's actual net earnings, as it includes partner revenue (the amounts partners receive, not what they pay to Anthropic). This highlights the growing scrutiny over the financial metrics behind the massive valuations and growth rates of AI unicorns.
