Epoch puts OpenAI's run rate above $40B, up from $13B a year ago, and Anthropic's at $65B as of end of July, against Exponential View's ~$175B annualized estimate for the whole deduplicated generative AI industry as of June. The analytically useful part is the caveat: when tokens are bought through a cloud platform, OpenAI books only its cut while Anthropic books the full cost, which inflates Anthropic's figure relative to OpenAI's. (Epoch AI) Any head-to-head revenue comparison ignoring this is measuring the wrong thing, and most of the ones I've seen ignore it.
