Anthropic's amended S-1 reveals Q3 revenue of $17B (up from $11.6B in Q2), but operating results swung from a $974M profit to a $567M loss. Drivers: $5B of pricier short-term compute (compute now 58% of revenue) and a $2B noncash charitable-matching charge. Adjusted operating income rose to $2.5B though margin fell to 15% from 19%. Total compute commitments now $895B, with $447B expected before 2030 and Google's minimum raised to $121B through July 2033. Operating cash flow was $7B for nine months; liquidity stands at $147B.
