According to Bloomberg, citing anonymous sources, Anthropic has become SpaceX's largest single customer, contributing about one-third of revenue and replacing the U.S. government in its former position. This relationship stems from a multibillion-dollar partnership Anthropic reached with SpaceX this spring, under which it obtained most of the AI compute capacity originally belonging to xAI. The report also mentions that SpaceX plans to move AI data centers to space on a large scale, but the tech

Steve Eisman on a podcast accused Anthropic of disclosing only financial data through June in the prospectus it filed on October 26, calling it deliberate in order to conceal a growth slowdown. He cited data showing Anthropic's third-quarter revenue was $16.8 billion, up 45%, a sharp slowdown from 144% in the second quarter; each $1 invested in compute and infrastructure costs generated only $1.70 in revenue, below $2.08 in the second quarter.

Bloomberg reports that the Texas grid audit, rather than AI investment demand, has become the key constraint on refinancing for Anthropic's Texas computing campus. Banks led by Morgan Stanley have shelved a $5 billion to $7 billion junk bond issuance tied to the Texas data center leased by Anthropic. The pause stems from Governor Greg Abbott freezing approvals for new grid connections for data centers until Texas regulators complete the audit; this leaves 7 banks holding $14.2 billion in one-yea

Anthropic's S-1 shows that at least two-thirds of the company's chip spending goes to model training, research, and internal use of Claude, rather than serving paying customers. In the first half of 2026, compute spending was $895 million, of which only $238 million was used to serve paying customers, corresponding to revenue of $1.629 billion, retaining 85 cents per dollar of revenue, up from 12 cents a year earlier. Because most compute is purchased 12 to 18 months in advance, revenue generate

Cursor discovered a maliciously tampered version of Anthropic.claude-code 2.1.313 in the VS Code extension marketplace. This version was not developed by Anthropic and affects at most 5,000 users. The malicious code collects host and user information, attempts to write the attacker's SSH public key and establish a reverse SSH tunnel, but due to permission restrictions this step fails on most macOS and Windows hosts. Cursor has removed the version, rebuilt the marketplace and shut down the attack

CNBC reports that Anthropic plans to list at a valuation of $1.5 trillion or higher, and its public benefit corporation (PBC) structure requires the board to balance public interest with shareholder returns. Lawrence Hamermesh, a Delaware corporate lawyer, noted that PBC law defines the word "balance" vaguely, and that directors' defenses citing the pursuit of public benefit purposes would make accountability harder.

Anthropic and OpenAI each submitted recommendations to California Governor Newsom, proposing different paths for how to halt high-risk frontier models. Anthropic advocates that the state attorney general, supported by independent evaluations, apply to courts to suspend model deployment, internal use, or continued development, and requires developers to publish risk reports at least every six months and pay into a state-managed joint fund to finance independent evaluators. OpenAI, by contrast, re

TechCrunch reports that Anthropic's IPO will give public shareholders almost no say over board membership.
