Anthropic has surpassed OpenAI and other top AI labs in run-rate revenue:
1K+ business customers spend $1M+ annually on Anthropic’s AI, the company said.
Anthropic’s run-rate leans more on recurring enterprise spend, while OpenAI’s reflects broader usage-based revenue extrapolated at the current pace.
Both report revenue slightly differently.
2027: Anthropic will have access to ~3.5 gigawatts of compute under the deal.
Broadcom will also produce future Google TPUs and expand its Anthropic deal to ~3.5 GW of compute capacity.
Broadcom shares were +3.6% in late trading on Mon. following the announcement.
