These disclosures, alongside similar figures from rival OpenAI, serve as a key indicator of whether AI firms can justify the enormous capital spending on data centre infrastructure. The timing is notable given that chip and hardware stocks, including Nvidia, AMD and Intel, along with Asian tech shares, fell sharply the same day on investor worries about AI spending, suggesting Anthropic's growth numbers could help reassure markets ahead of its listing.
