Anthropic Hits $47B Run Rate, Menlo VC Says Growth Unprecedented

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from TechCrunch ·

Anthropic reached a $47 billion revenue run rate by May, up from $9 billion in 2025.

The surge outpaces internet, mobile, and cloud booms, driven by factors beyond the model itself.

Meridian48 take
