I don't have access to the article linked, but I am default skeptical of any self-reported numbers. They have a financial incentive to play it up.

If you're able to link something non-paywalled, I'd be happy to read thru.

You can beat the paywalls with https://archive.ph or similar.

They may be self-reported numbers, but they're consistent across multiple reporting sources. If Anthropic are lying to their investors about these numbers they will be in very real trouble with the SEC come IPO time.

And even if they're using funky accounting tricks to exaggerate their profits and downplay some of their losses, I expect the numbers for 2026 will still be really impressive.
