Citing figures reported by Bloomberg, Anthropic's ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) has reportedly passed $65 billion ahead of an expected IPO. The report states it generated over $11.5 billion in preliminary revenue in Q2, more than 14x year-over-year and double its Q1 revenue. This run rate, reportedly reached by the end of July, allegedly puts Anthropic ahead of OpenAI, whose internal run rate is said to be $40 billion. Anthropic is reportedly meeting with investors for a planned IPO in Sept or Oct.
