I want people to know the unit was unprepared to provide any defense for…

Anthropic revenue surpassed $30 billion on an annualized basis as of early April 2026, the company disclosed alongside a major new compute deal with Google and Broadcom, marking a more than threefold increase from the approximately $9 billion run rate it reported at the end of 2025. Summary The $30 billion figure puts Anthropic ahead of OpenAI’s reported run rate of approximately $24 to $25 billion, with the gap driven by Anthropic’s enterprise-heavy revenue mix: 80 percent of its revenue comes from business customers rather than consumers, producing higher retention and lower churn than a consumer-first product strategy Over 1,000…
