量子位 · wechat · 2026-10-01
Reuters-reported IPO filings show Anthropic's 2025 revenue grew 12x to nearly $4.6B, while operating losses doubled past $8B and the company committed at least $518B to compute over the next decade—80% non-cancellable or take-or-pay.
Key revelations: two mystery clients (speculated to be Cursor and GitHub Copilot) each drive 12% of revenue; cloud-marketplace sales via Amazon/Google hit $2.16B, or 47% of revenue, with $351M paid in distribution fees (16 cents per dollar); Google ($111.1B), Amazon ($110B), Microsoft ($31.4B) and Broadcom leases ($161.2B) anchor the compute pledges. OpenAI also flagged Anthropic's gross-revenue accounting as inflating reported revenue by billions versus net accounting.
