Anthropic said this week that the AI startup’s annual revenue run rate has now crossed $30 billion, up from about $9 billion the previous year.
“We are making our most significant compute commitment to date to keep pace with our unprecedented growth,” said Krishna Rao, CFO of Anthropic, in a blog post. “This groundbreaking partnership with Google and Broadcom is a continuation of our disciplined approach to scaling infrastructure: We are building the capacity necessary to serve the exponential growth we have seen in our customer base while also enabling Claude to define the frontier of AI development.”
While this deepens the ties between Google and Anthropic, Anthropic recognizes that it has to support a variety of platforms. “We train and run Claude on a range of AI hardware—AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs—which means we can match workloads to the chips best suited for them. This diversity of platforms translates to better performance and greater resilience for customers who depend on Claude for critical work,” the company said in its blog post.
