PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Explosive revenue growth and a massive paper loss appearing side by side shows that Anthropic's losses stem largely from valuation accounting, while the real business is improving. But with 80% of revenue coming from usage-based billing, customers free to switch vendors at any time, and $265.6 billion in long-term compute commitments stacked on top, whether it can convert growth into stable profit after going public is the real test.
