Anthropic, creator of the Claude chatbot, has achieved impressive results with its annual revenue reaching $3 billion. Despite rapid growth, the startup still has ground to cover to catch up with market leader OpenAI.

High demand for artificial intelligence solutions is driving impressive revenue growth even for young companies in the sector. Anthropic, a startup founded by former OpenAI employees in 2021, has demonstrated phenomenal development dynamics.
Rapid Revenue Growth
According to Reuters, Anthropic's annualized revenue has reached $3 billion. The growth pace is staggering: while in December 2024 this figure was less than $1 billion, by March 2025 it exceeded $2 billion, and by the end of May conquered the $3 billion mark.
Focus on Corporate Clients
Unlike OpenAI, which derives most of its profit from private ChatGPT users, Anthropic has focused on the corporate segment. The company's solutions, backed by giants like Alphabet and Amazon, are particularly effective in code generation.
The quarterly revenue growth rate allows Anthropic to be classified among the most dynamically developing companies in the "software as a service" segment.
Comparison with OpenAI
Competing OpenAI earned $3.7 billion in 2024 but could earn at least $12 billion in 2025. Meanwhile, OpenAI's valuation has reached $300 billion compared to Anthropic's $61.4 billion.
The Claude chatbot significantly lags behind ChatGPT in popularity - its traffic is 50 times lower according to April 2025 data. The number of corporate ChatGPT subscriptions grew from 2 to 3 million between February and May 2025.
Development Prospects
Despite lagging behind OpenAI, Anthropic's successes demonstrate the enormous potential of the artificial intelligence market. Investors are not yet concerned about the formation of a "bubble" in this market, continuing to actively invest in AI startups.
