Anthropic's Q3 revenue reached $16.8 billion, more than 3.6x its entire 2025, but quarterly growth slowed from 140% to 45%. Alex Kantrowitz reports talk that its IPO lands closer to $1.5 trillion than $2 trillion. The takeaway: even this 'slowdown' reflects users paying for models that ship real work.
