ricklamers browsed Anthropic's (Ant) S-1 filing and pulled out the key numbers:
- Q2 revenue of $11.6B, up 1,368% YoY
- Cash-flow positive and profitable: +$3.9B from operations in H1
- The filing admits it "significantly underestimated" compute needs; it now has roughly $640B in committed compute
- Founders hold a fixed 50.1% of the vote
Both the growth rate and the scale of compute commitments are far beyond typical industry magnitudes; the founder super-voting structure is also worth watching.
