Anthropic started charging for API access in early 2023, reached a $1 billion run rate by the end of 2024, launched Claude Code in February 2025, reached $4 billion by mid-2025, $9 billion by end of 2025, and $30 billion by April 2026.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Anthropic is on track to generate $11 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026 and anticipates a small operating profit.

Anthropic developed a new tool called Claude Code-work, a non-coding version of Claude Code, in a week and a half, almost entirely with Claude Opus.

Anthropic is creating entire features in days, not weeks, in early 2026.

Anthropic integrated the Claude Code desktop app into the traditional Claude app, alongside Claude chat and Claude Co-work.

Anthropic's models cost $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens.
