Fortune reports Anthropic grew 80-fold in Q1, far exceeding its planned 10x. Revenue run rate reached $30B (up from $9B at end of 2025). Claude Code alone hit $1B ARR within six months. The compute crunch forced a deal with xAI for Colossus 1's 220,000 GPUs and 300MW of capacity. Separately, Anthropic committed $200B to Google Cloud over five years, the largest cloud deal in history. When you're growing 80x, you lease from your competitors and your critics.
