First operating profit: $559M. Compute cost per dollar: 71→56 cents. 1,000+ enterprise accounts at $1M+. Two years ahead of internal projections.

Full preview → The Week in AI Infrastructure and Finance August 11-13 has been the most financially significant week in AI since the OpenAI S-1 confidential filing in June. Anthropic posted a Q2 revenue number that more than doubled Q1 and hit an operating profit — the first of any frontier AI lab. Simultaneously, OpenAI's public S-1 is days away from appearing on SEC EDGAR, where it will finally disclose audited financials, the Microsoft revenue-share deal, and the formal offering structure. Both events land against the backdrop of Sequoia's $3 trillion gap analysis: Anthropic's Q2 numbers are the first evidence that the gap can be closed — but Anthropic itself warned that Q3 compute pressure may reverse the Q2 profit.
