Aswath Damodaran, a valuation professor at New York University, published a long article valuing Anthropic at $1.475 trillion. In the article, he noted that Anthropic's revenue in the first half of the year was about 14 times that of the same period last year, but growth slowed in the third quarter because OpenAI took market share and Anthropic lacked sufficient computing power. He mentioned that the $80.7 billion book loss in the first half mainly came from $72 billion in non-cash bond expenses, while the actual operating loss was slightly over $8 billion; Anthropic said it had achieved operating profitability last quarter. He believes the biggest risk is over $600 billion in computing power commitments, and that seven co-founders hold 50.1% of voting rights through a single class of shares.

Aswath Damodaran, a valuation professor at New York University, published a long article valuing Anthropic at $1.475 trillion. He noted that Anthropic's first-half revenue was about 14 times that of the same period last year, but growth slowed in the third quarter because OpenAI took share and Anthropic lacked sufficient compute; the $80.7 billion first-half book loss mainly came from $72 billion in non-cash bond expenses, while the actual operating loss was slightly over $8 billion, and Anthropic says it achieved operating profitability last quarter. He believes the biggest risk is the compute commitment exceeding $600 billion, and that 7 co-founders hold 50.1% voting power through a single share class.
