Summary
Late May put Anthropic above a $47 billion revenue run rate, a jump from more than $30 billion reported less than two months earlier.
That pace extends a steep climb from a $9 billion run rate in late 2025 and $4 billion in July 2025, underscoring how quickly demand for its AI models has scaled.
Mercor showed a similar acceleration on Monday, saying it crossed $2 billion in gross annualized revenue in June just four months after hitting $1 billion.
Other AI-linked startups also reported faster milestone gains: Glean reached $300 million ARR in May, Sierra added its second $100 million in two quarters, and Gusto topped $1 billion in trailing 12-month revenue.
