世界的な高収入法律事務所カークランド・アンド・エリス（Kirkland & Ellis）が、独自の人工知能（AI）プラットフォームを構築するため、約5億ドルを確保したことが明らかになった。同事務所はAI技術を活用したリーガルサービスの効率化と差別化を図り、業界全体の競争激化に対応する狙いがある。弁護士業務におけるAI活用は今後さらに加速する見通しで、法曹業界の変革を象徴する動きとして注目される。
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.
