Key claims & sources

✓
Anthropic told prospective investors in a private pre-IPO meeting that its Q3 revenue was about $16.8 billion and that it had recorded an adjusted profit.

What it means

In practice, the company has already shown investors both sales figures and a revenue-to-compute-spend ratio, which means the pre-IPO conversation now includes operating metrics that were disclosed before the public offering. What stays the same is that the listing is still being prepared for November, and one report says it could value the company at over $2 trillion.
