I'm confused.The numbers that Reuters describe in this article were entirely for 2025.It's been well documented that Anthropic's revenue growth in 2026 has been enormous. This was the year of coding agents, and tokenmaxxing, and companies blowing enormous amounts of money on AI thanks to coding agent users spending hundreds (or thousands) of…

seriously, SpaceX showed the way and Anthropic is following it. Selective leaks of the "confidential" prospectus to gin up enthusiasm for the IPO, which is wildly illegal under the federal securities laws but no one cares about that anymore https://www. reuters.com/legal/transactiona…

And once again I have to ask, why has Reuters seen the prospectus and do we even have an SEC anymore? https://www. reuters.com/business/finance/a nthropics-ipo-prospectus-shows-sweeping-ai-vision-surging-costs-2026-09-28/

Reuters probably saving 2026 for another writeup. To be honest, this is nothing surprising for 2025. I think we all expected unsurmountable costs. AI has always been and still is a huge bet into the future. The future is not written.

2 things can be true:-LLMs profoundly change society -The LLM business is mangled in terms of ROIC vs CoCSuch a business already exists - airlines.This nuance is what many here refuse/find difficult to understand.

Some of these numbers are crazy. The scale of them is hard to comprehend.- $42 billion net loss in 2025- $518 billion in infrastructure obligations coming up (EDIT)- 1/4 of revenue coming from 2 customers

Presumably the expenses would also be higher in 2026 as well, because inference costs scale with usage and I think training their new large models would be in there as well.

Isn't telecom kinda the same? Lots and lots of capex, turned into dumb pipes that can't extract value from their customers.

Well said, the technology can be transformative while being structurally challenging to build a viable business around.

Frankly, outside of coding there's no much real use for AI, which is basically NLP.
