FinanceYF5 · x · 2026-10-27
Part 2 of the author's Anthropic finance thread: October revenue is inferred from OpenRouter data and likely won't look bad if disclosed in a future S-1. Gavin Baker still argues a single dominant lab would hurt the AI infrastructure market, but Anthropic's $35B in future annual compute commitments look digestible relative to revenue, with the market possibly entering a "Goldilocks zone" for OpenAI and Anthropic.
