And Mistral appears to be 6 months to a year behind Claude which in the AI race is a fucking eternity
Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate has reached $14 billion, according to the company's own announcement. The company says this figure has grown more than 10x annually for the past three years. That kind of growth from a company earning the bulk of its revenue from business customers, not consumer subscriptions, is unusual.
The enterprise numbers tell a more specific story. Over 500 customers now spend at least $1 million per year on Claude, up from a dozen just two years ago. Customers spending more than $100,000 annually have grown sevenfold in the past 12 months. And eight of the Fortune 10 are now Claude customers. Axios noted that 1 in 5 businesses using Ramp now pay for Anthropic, up from 1 in 25 a year ago, and about 79% of OpenAI's paying users also pay for Anthropic, suggesting the market isn't zero-sum.
The numbers are staggering
