Anthropic On Faster Path to Profit Than OpenAI

Anthropic, a key rival to OpenAI, appears on a faster path to profitability despite generating less than half the revenue. OpenAI recently saw its annualized revenue soar to $3.4 billion. Anthropic’s has also exploded, hitting $1.6 billion. Yet the company’s different business model might give it an edge in reaching profitability first. The situation highlights the industry’s central struggle: balancing staggering growth with the immense costs of computing power and talent needed to build advanced AI. This financial showdown stresses the high-stakes bet on sustainable dominance.
