A viral tweet claims Anthropic runs at 80% margins and is highly profitable, echoing a sarcastic earlier quip that it's only 'highly profitable if you take out the biggest expenses.' The poster mocks the accounting framing, suggesting the profitability claim depends on excluding major cost items. The figures are unverified third-party claims, not official Anthropic disclosures.
