ChrisGPT · x · 2026-10-27
ChrisGPT predicts Anthropic could reach $80–90 billion in annualized revenue by the end of 2026.
- Basis: usage on OpenRouter rose sharply after recent model releases despite cheaper token costs, which he reads as early Jevons paradox; businesses are still early in handing work to models
- Timing: he expects Anthropic to release Fable 5.5 as close to its IPO as possible, so strong adoption boosts investor confidence
- Longer term: he expects Anthropic to start monetizing biology research, with a roadmap possibly opening around Q1 2027 (unconfirmed, his inference)
