Anthropic is a leading US AI lab. It develops popular models like Claude and its latest frontier model, Mythos. It leads in a host of AI testing benchmarks. In May, Anthropic raised US $ 65bn in Series H funding led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, and Sequoia Capital, giving it a post-money valuation of US $ 965bn. Anthropic highlighted that its run-rate revenue crossed US $ 47bn in May. That figure has jumped 47-fold, from about US $ 1bn in annual recurring revenue in early 2025, according to Forbes. The US AI lab is currently gearing up for what is expected to be a historic IPO- potentially topping SpaceX’ s IPO earlier this year – with some investors expecting a valuation upwards of US $ 2trn. ​Anthropic has gained ground in the world of frontier AI, despite a disagreement with the US government earlier this year.
