Anthropic, maker of Claude, expects to break even in 2028, The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday.
By contrast, OpenAI forecasts operating losses of $74 billion, or roughly three-fourths of revenue at that year, expecting to turn a profit in 2030.
The maker of OpenAI expects to burn 14 times as much cash as Anthropic.
With the goal of becoming a trillion-dollar company, OpenAI, which is always in constant fundraising mode, says it is investing significantly more in chips and data centers, and doling out more stock-based compensation to attract top researchers.
“Demand for AI exceeds available compute supply today,” an OpenAI spokesman said.
Recently, OpenAI, valued at $500 billion, signed a string of new computing deals with cloud and chip giants. Altman said on X that the deals put OpenAI on the hook for up to $1.4 trillion in commitments over the next eight years.
Anthropic, valued at $183 billion, is focused on increasing sales among corporate customers, which account for about 80% of revenue. It avoids OpenAI’s costly forays into image and video generation, which require significantly more computing power. Anthropic’s AI models have also taken off among coders.
Founded four years ago by Dario Amodei [in the picture, on the right side], a former Google researcher who left OpenAI, Anthropic is centered on selling its Claude chatbot to businesses.
Microsoft is OpenAI’s largest cloud provider, while Amazon and Google are for Anthropic.
