  "account": "Anthropic, the San Francisco-based company behind the Claude AI models, reported a significant surge in revenue, reaching $16.8 billion ($15 billion) from July to September, marking a 46% increase from $11.5 billion ($10.3 billion) in the previous quarter. The company also confirmed an adjusted profit during a presentation to investors at its headquarters, weeks before its planned November IPO that could value the firm at up to $2 trillion ($1.79 billion). Anthropic declared second consecutive quarter profitability on an adjusted basis, alongside positive free cash flow and an operating margin of 11%. The cost of computing power brought in $1.70 of revenue per dollar spent during the period, however, growth has begun to slow. Analysts had expected annualized revenue to surpass $100 billion ($89.5 billion) by the end of 2026, but the latest figures suggest this may fall short, with projections now anticipating revenue to end below $100 billion ($89.5 billion). The firm filed for an IPO with US regulators in June but has yet to disclose its full prospectus. Anthropic plans to list its shares in November following the US midterm elections, aiming for a valuation of up to $2 trillion ($1.79 billion), surpassing SpaceX’s record-breaking IPO valuation of about $1.8 trillion ($1.6 billion). The IPO, led by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, would also more than double the $965 billion ($863 billion) valuation Anthropic raised from private investors in May. Despite its impressive growth, Anthropic faced challenges in recent months, trailing rival OpenAI in terms of revenue growth, partly due to the release of Sam Altman's firm's Astra model and the emergence of cheaper Chinese alternatives.",
  "summary": "AI developer Anthropic grew its sales by about 46% to $16.8 billion (€15bn) last quarter and turned an adjusted profit, it told investors on Wednesday, weeks before a November stock market debut that could value it at up to $2 trillion (€1.79bn).",
