X user JosephJacks predicts Anthropic's revenue will surpass Alphabet's by mid-2028, citing his own chart as conservative. He notes Anthropic's ARR grew from $1B (Jan 2025) to $9B (Dec 2025) to $30B (Apr 2026), a 3.3x step in four months. Projections: $100B by end of 2026, $340B in 2027, $850B in 2028, $1.4T in 2029, $2T by 2030. Crossover at $575B in mid-2028, as Alphabet's 15% YoY growth in mature ads/cloud can't match.
