Anthropic raises $65B Series H at $900B valuation with $47B revenue run-rate
Anthropic closed a $65B Series H at a $900B pre-money valuation and disclosed a $47B annualized revenue run-rate—up from $9B just five months prior—marking a dramatic acceleration that puts it ahead of OpenAI in headline valuation and revenue metrics. Simultaneously, the company released Claude Opus 4.8, which reportedly addresses community complaints about Opus 4.7 and claims SOTA status on economically relevant benchmarks. Together, these announcements signal a potential shift in AI industry leadership and a validation of Anthropic's enterprise revenue model.
