Ahead of an anticipated Anthropic model release, an analyst shared a fully editable financial model projecting bold numbers:
- IPO & valuation: Anthropic goes public at $2T in Oct 2026 and reaches $1T ARR and a $10T+ valuation by Dec 2030 as the AI winner.
- ARR path: $125B (2026E, +14x YoY) → $266B → $462B → $700B → $1T (2030E), with live capacity scaling from 5 GW to 30 GW.
- Model breakdown: ARR split by business line (consumer, B2B, enterprise, API) and by model type, plus training/inference costs as % of revenue and gross margin analysis.
The spreadsheet is public for anyone to tweak — more an optimistic narrative than a rigorous forecast, but illustrative of bull-case expectations for frontier labs.
