Anthropic has revealed its financials ahead of a planned IPO, reporting $4.6 billion in revenue for 2025 alongside an $8.06 billion operating loss and a net loss of nearly $42 billion. The company faces $518 billion in future cloud and infrastructure obligations, underscoring the immense capital required to compete with OpenAI.
