Anthropic's Revenue Growth and Pentagon Dispute Over AI Safeguards

Anthropic, an AI company valued at $380 billion, is nearing a $20 billion annual revenue run rate, driven by strong adoption of products like Claude Code. The company is engaged in a dispute with the US Pentagon, which has labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk over concerns about AI safeguards related to surveillance and autonomous weapons. Anthropic opposes removing these safeguards and is challenging the government's ban, while OpenAI has secured a Pentagon contract amid ethical debates.
