Anthropic AI is making big bucks in 2025. The San Francisco-based company has seen an unprecedented growth surge, primarily driven by enterprise demand for its AI models, especially in code generation, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The figure surpassed $2 billion near the end of March and reached $3 billion by the end of May, according to one of the sources. Though Anthropic is making great strides in revenue and growth, it still has a ways to go to catch up to its competition OpenAI.
Anthropic is currently valued at $61.5 billion, following a $3.5 billion funding round.

Backed by major investments from Amazon and Google, Anthropic aims to build trustworthy AI that helps people while minimizing risks and unintended consequences.
As of 2025, OpenAI’s valuation is estimated between $150 billion and $300 billion, reflecting its status as a leading AI company. The firm expects its revenue to reach approximately $11.6 billion this year, driven by strong demand for products like ChatGPT and enterprise AI solutions.
Despite rapid revenue growth, OpenAI anticipates a loss of up to $5 billion in 2024, mainly due to heavy investments in computing infrastructure and talent. This mix of high revenue and ongoing costs highlights OpenAI’s focus on scaling advanced AI technologies while preparing for long-term profitability.

Anthropic uses innovative methods like Constitutional AI to guide AI behavior toward ethical and reliable outcomes. Despite the success, Anthropic faced backlash for releasing AI models in May that exhibited “troubling behavior.” Anthropic announced two versions of its Claude 4 family of models including Claude 4 Opus, which the company says is capable of working for hours on end autonomously on a task without losing focus.
According to the company, this model is so powerful that it has been classified as a level three risk on the company’s four-point scale, leading to the company implementing additional safety measures.
