TechnologyAI Investment & ValuationsAI Market Competition
Anthropic has reported reaching an annualized revenue run rate of $30 billion as of April 2026 [3, 8, 10]. This figure represents a significant increase from earlier in the year, when the company was reported to have a $14 billion revenue run rate [11].
In comparison, OpenAI has surpassed $25 billion in annualized revenue [4]. While earlier reports from January 2026 indicated that OpenAI’s annual recurring revenue was twice that of Anthropic [1], more recent data suggests that Anthropic has narrowed or potentially surpassed OpenAI in the revenue race [3, 6]. Despite these revenue figures, the two companies have different profitability timelines, with Anthropic projected to break even by 2028 and OpenAI by 2030 [2, 9].
