Anthropic Reports $16.8B Q3 Revenue Ahead of IPO

The firm reported consecutive quarterly profits and strong sequential revenue growth throughout the year, rising from $4.7 billion in the first quarter to $11.6 billion in the second period. These financial disclosures arrive while investors grow increasingly anxious about the massive capital expenditures required to sustain artificial intelligence infrastructure.
