The forecast is a stark contrast to that of its rival OpenAI, which predicts its operating losses to sit at $74 billion in that year, largely due to the massive cash it’s plunging into AI infrastructure. Though OpenAI expects to hit profitability in 2030, the company will spend 14 times as much money as Anthropic by then to get to that point.
