The Wall Street Journal reviewed a draft IPO prospectus showing Anthropic’s first-half revenue leaping from $1.1B to $16.3B — nearly 15x growth — while compute and infrastructure spending rose to almost $9B.

Why it matters: it is the clearest public window yet into AI-lab economics — revenue scaling faster than compute costs, but built on a mountain of locked-in compute commitments.
