Someone has finally proven that AI doesn't need to keep burning money.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Anthropic's second-quarter revenue is expected to double to approximately $10.9 billion, with an operating profit of about $559 million, marking its first profit. The company disclosed these projections during a funding round, and if they come true, its valuation could surpass OpenAI, demonstrating that this startup, once lagging in the AI race, is rapidly rising and challenging the previous view that high spending hindered short-term profitability.
