- Google accounts for at least $111.1 billion of commitments through 2033, while Amazon is due about $110 billion through 2036

Summary
01 Anthropic’s IPO filing revealed a $42 billion net loss, $8.06 billion operating loss and roughly $518 billion in future infrastructure obligations. 02 The prospectus shows how costly frontier AI has become, with two customers supplying 24% of 2025 revenue and founders retaining control. 03 Pre-IPO markets still price Anthropic near $2 trillion, leaving the public offering to test whether investors will validate that valuation. The Claude developer has confidentially filed for an initial public offering that could value it at more than $2 trillion, according to a prospectus reviewed by Reuters.
