Cited analysis on AI revenue concentration:
- 80% of OpenAI and Anthropic's enterprise revenue comes from 1% of their customers
- 25% of Anthropic's revenue comes from just two customers: Cursor and GitHub Copilot ($1.2B combined)
- Anthropic has 300k business customers (OpenAI 1M); 6,000 spend >$100k/year, 1-2k spend >$1M/year
- 47% of Anthropic revenue flows through channels (AWS + Google)
- Top 1% companies spend >$7k/month per employee vs $700 for the top 10% — a 10x gap
The reposter adds operator perspective: customer concentration is inherent to enterprise AI, and only momentum in landing tier-1 logos offsets it.
