The reality is

1) It's in their interest to distort numbers and frame things that make them look good - e.g. using 'run-rate' 2) The numbers are not audited and we have no idea re. the manner in which they are recognising revenue - this can affect the true compounding rate of growth in revenues

[signatoremo]

The numbers are certainly audited by their investors. Anthropic isn't foreign to PR talk, but investors know what to look for in their book. They aren't stupid unlike how they are viewed on HN.

There are more investment money than Anthropic need. They can pick and choose.

"The numbers are certainly audited by their investors."

Hahaha.

Mate nobody cares about that nor trusts it. Everyone is waiting in anticipation for the S-1 filing.

I do, and I do trust the numbers. I doubt Anthropic is pursuing fraud given that they already don't have enough compute to serve demand. What is the point of lying to the public, investors and risk going to jail?

Money? Bankman-Fried wasn't the only one.
