Anthropic reports $17bn quarterly revenue ahead of supersized IPO

· Tech · United States

AI company Anthropic disclosed in an amended S-1 filing that third-quarter revenue jumped to nearly $17 billion as it prepares for a huge initial public offering. The filing also revealed purchase and compute commitments of $895.4 billion and personnel costs that topped $322,000 per worker last quarter, more than $100,000 a month per employee. The company is seeking to raise up to $3.5 billion from Japanese investors, and Robinhood's CFO said the brokerage is in a "food fight" for retail access to the IPO shares. The numbers underline the scale of spending and revenue in the AI infrastructure race.

Why it matters：Anthropic's filing offers a rare look at the economics of a leading AI lab and will shape how investors value the sector's huge buildout.
