Anthropic, an AI company founded by former OpenAI executives, reported a 45% revenue increase to $16.8 billion in Q3 2026, up from $11.6 billion in Q2 and $4.7 billion in Q1. The company shared these figures with prospective investors ahead of a planned IPO targeting a valuation above $2 trillion, expected after the November US midterm elections.
