en.Wedoany.com Reported - Anthropic co-founder Daniela Amodei said at the Bloomberg Technology Conference that the possibility of public market financing depends on capital. She noted that the upfront costs of training models and providing inference services are very high, and predicted that AI companies focused on frontier development may need to turn to public market financing in the future.
Anthropic is currently maintaining a high growth trajectory. The company announced that as of May, its annualized revenue had exceeded $47 billion, a significant increase from approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025. However, this growth trajectory faces market challenges. Companies such as Uber have indicated that while AI can deliver returns, not all AI spending has proven productive, raising concerns that businesses may begin to tighten AI budgets and slow industry growth.
Amodei is not troubled by this, believing that companies are still in the early stages of effectively deploying AI. She expects that current use cases will continue to be the main drivers of efficiency or creativity, covering areas such as programming, financial services, law, and healthcare. As the business community becomes more familiar with these tools, all parties will learn together, and she hopes that AI can be more integrated into daily work practices and deliver greater value.
Amodei also explained why Anthropic has not built its own data centers like competitors OpenAI and Elon Musk's xAI to meet growing computing demands. She stated that Anthropic's approach has always been to plan for the best outcome while avoiding overexpansion, and not to purchase computing power beyond what it can effectively use. Predicting this perfectly is very difficult, and the company prefers to be in a state where product demand slightly exceeds service capacity, rather than the opposite. Last month, Anthropic partnered with xAI to obtain computing power, a move that surprised the AI industry. Later disclosed in SpaceX's S-1 filing, the agreement will cost Anthropic $1.25 billion per month.
