Anthropic IPO filing: ~25% of revenue from just two customers, no long-term lock-ins

Anthropic's IPO prospectus warned that nearly 25% of revenue comes from just TWO customers, and many top enterprise clients are NOT locked into long-term contracts—they could cut spending or walk away anytime.
This follows the author's earlier claims that Microsoft and Meta are aggressively cutting Claude usage ahead of the IPO: Microsoft cut internal Claude spend by 33%+, slashed per-employee token budgets from $100k/month to $10k/month, and forced Copilot to auto-route to cheaper models; Meta cut Muse's active users from 60,000 to 30,000 (–50%) after launch. Unconfirmed figures, but they echo the disclosed revenue concentration risk.
