Anthropic's quarterly revenue approached $17 billion, twelve times a year earlier, but operating costs reached $17.5 billion, with a quarterly net loss of $23.3 billion, up from $12.1 billion a year ago. Rising costs mainly came from $5 billion in short-term compute lock-ins and $2 billion in employee donation matching; the updated prospectus shows compute and data center leasing commitments of $895 billion, and the IPO may raise about $100 billion, with up to $3.5 billion expected from Japanese investors.

In an amended S-1A filing, Anthropic warns that its internal estimates show future models could soon meet the definition in its Responsible Scaling Policy of “dramatically accelerated progress caused by AI,” and that it has previously used AI to develop new models with capability leaps without realizing it. The filing also states that no existing model has yet crossed that RSI threshold, and the company plans to update its policy and keep human oversight in the frontier model development process for the foreseeable future.
