# Anthropic Overtakes OpenAI on Revenue, Hits $965B Valuation

> Anthropic has reached a $47 billion annualized run rate, passing OpenAI's $25 billion for the first time. The shift reflects a fundamental business difference: while OpenAI chases consumer users and API breadth, Anthropic has built deep enterprise relationships where 80% of revenue comes from customers committed to using Claude across teams and workflows. The tipping point wasn't a better model, it was real-world stickiness and trust built through consistent safeguards. With a Series H valuation of $965 billion, Anthropic has now claimed the title of most valuable AI lab. The revenue explosion, from $10 billion last year to this year's $47 billion run rate, mirrors the rise of Claude Code, which let enterprises embed AI agents directly into software development cycles. That viral adoption inside organizations matters more than headlines.
