Media report: Anthropic apparently makes $80 billion loss in the first half-year
According to the "Wall Street Journal," the loss is largely due to accounting effects. At the same time, the Claude developer is committing to multi-billion dollar contracts for computing capacity.
Anthropic, a New York-based AI start-up, reportedly incurred a net loss of over $80 billion in the first half of the year. This is a significant increase from the $13 billion loss in the same period last year. The loss includes $72 billion in accounting effects related to changes in convertible bonds and other financial instruments issued for capital raising.
The company reportedly told investors it reached profitability on an adjusted basis in the third quarter. Anthropic plans to spend around $750 billion on additional computing capacity in the coming years.
