Report: Anthropic is catching up to OpenAI, on track for $9 billion annual run rate by the end of 2025

Strong demand for its enterprise AI tools like Claude Code has pushed Anthropic’s annual revenue run rate to $7 billion this month, according to a report from Reuters, with the Amazon-backed company on track to hit $9 billion ARR by the end of 2025.

The company was targeting a $5 billion annual run rate as recently as September.

The acceleration of revenue is helping Anthropic catch up to its larger rival OpenAI. Recently, OpenAI told its investors that the company has a $13 billion annual run rate target, according to The Information.

According to the report, things are picking up so fast for Anthropic that it is nearly tripling its annual revenue targets for 2026 to as much as $26 billion.

Anthropic recently raised an series F round of $13 billion, giving the startup a valuation of $183 billion.

After tussle with Pentagon, Anthropic’s $60 billion worth of recent investments might be at risk

The fallout from Anthropic’s dramatic split from the Pentagon is still being measured. For a domestic company to be labeled a “supply-chain risk to national security” by the US Defense secretary is unprecedented, as Anthropic noted in a post responding to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s tweet.

Making it even more shocking is the fact that Anthropic appeared to be on track to have one of the largest and most-anticipated tech IPOs in American history.

Axios’s Dan Primack writes that the $60 billion in venture capital Anthropic just raised last month could very well be at risk. Primack argues that investors may get cold feet now that the company has run afoul of the Trump administration, and faces significant uncertainty as the industry waits to see what official acts follow Hegseth’s words.

Google may not just power Apple’s Siri — it could host it, too

Apple has asked Google to look into running the upcoming AI Siri on its servers, The Information reports, following a previous agreement for Google’s Gemini model to underpin the new Siri in the first place.

Apple’s reliance on third parties for AI and cloud computing has helped it keep spending lower than its peers. But it also deepens the company’s dependence on rivals for critical AI infrastructure. Apple already relies heavily on Google and Amazon for cloud services. Hosting Siri on Google’s servers would expand that relationship.

Apple has invested in its own AI cloud system, Private Cloud Compute, meant to run sensitive queries on Apple-designed servers. But according to The Information, only about 10% of that capacity is in use, potentially signaling another AI execution problem for Apple.

Good news: Tesla sales stabilized in Europe. Bad news: Europe’s not buying much.

The good news for Tesla: vehicle sales jumped in February in a number of early-reporting European countries.

The bad news: Europe remains a small market for Tesla, so stabilization there isn’t the boon it would be in bigger markets like the US and China, where its vehicle sales continue to struggle.

For what it’s worth, Tesla has been de-emphasizing vehicle sales as it pivots its ambitions to AI and autonomy.
