Anthropic’s compute costs rose to 58% of revenue in Q3, its IPO filing shows

See how this story connects

Anthropic’s amended IPO filing shows compute costs took 58% of its revenue in the third quarter, up from 48%. Revenue rose to $17bn from $11.6bn the quarter before, while compute and infrastructure spending reached $9.9bn, of which $5.0bn was bought under short-term commitments. Separately, Broadcom has agreed to absorb losses on a $63bn chip lease if Anthropic defaults, Fortune reported.

Why it matters

Compute costs grew faster than revenue in the quarter, and Anthropic says it can swap short-term capacity for cheaper long-term capacity as dedicated data centres come online.
