A notable shift in the AI race: Anthropic's annualized revenue has overtaken OpenAI's, according to data tracked by Epoch AI. Anthropic closed 2025 at roughly $9 billion in annualized revenue. By April 2026 that number had climbed to around $30 billion, putting it ahead of OpenAI, which sits near $25 billion annualized. The growth driver looks structural rather than consumer-led. While OpenAI built its brand on ChatGPT, Anthropic has been signing enterprise contracts for Claude and its API, the kind of high-volume B2B deals that produce predictable revenue. Both companies remain private, so figures are based on reporting and analyst tracking rather than public filings.
