OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei presented opposing visions on AI's impact on jobs at a recent event. Altman argued AI will augment rather than eliminate most roles, while Amodei warned of significant job displacement and economic disruption. The debate highlights a growing divide between the two leading AI firms on the technology's future risks.
Anthropic announced a run rate revenue of $47 billion, raised $65 billion in a Series H round, and achieved a post-money valuation of $965 billion.
Anthropic's run-rate revenue has hit $47 billion, up from $30 billion in April and $14 billion in February 2026, according to its $65B Series H filing. The annualized figures show extremely rapid growth, though some observers have expressed skepticism about the projections.
Simon Willison argues Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit through enterprise coding agents. Both companies shifted to API-based enterprise pricing, and recent models cost more. Stories of Uber blowing its AI budget and Microsoft canceling Claude Code licenses suggest customers are paying high prices for genuinely useful tools, making April 2026 a new revenue inflection point.
