@jasonlk: Anthropic's S-1 is out. 5 metrics that stand out:
#1. 900% Net Revenue Retention
Usage customers are spending 9x what they spent a year ago. ~250 customers now pay $10M+ a year. That's labor budget, not software budget.
#2. Compute fell from 201% of revenue to 55% in a year (H1 '25 to H1 '26)
This happened while they cut customer cost per task ~40% with Opus 5.5.
#3. Sales, marketing & partnerships went from $120M to $3.2B, a 26x increase. It's now larger than total payroll
The fastest-growing B2B company ever is still spending heavily on forward-deployed engineers, SIs and partners.
#4. $6.6M in revenue per employee, up from $1.4M a year earlier
The new normal?
#5. Adjusted operating margin went from -159% to +10% (non-GAAP)
$16.3B in revenue in H1 2026, up from $1.2B a year earlier.
The $80.7B net loss is mostly paper. $72.4B of it is fair-value markups on convertibles. The operating loss was $693M.
