Anthropic, the new AI darling, is estimated to have annualized revenue of $1.4 billion, with its Claude technology driving Manus' popularity.

Anthropic, an AI startup, has reportedly achieved annualized revenue of $1.4 billion as of the beginning of this month. The company's annualized revenue is estimated to be about $1 billion by the end of 2024, according to insiders. If it can maintain this momentum, it will be easy for the company to reach its $2 billion baseline expectation by the end of 2025, but it still needs to accelerate growth to reach its $3.7 billion optimistic expectation.

Last month, Anthropic released the Claude3.7Sonnet model. As a supporter of Anthropic, amazon has integrated the Claude model into its AWS, retail, and media ecosystems.

The competitors of Claude are the GPT models supported by Microsoft's OpenAI and Google's Gemini.

Analysts at Seeking Alpha's Simple Investment Ideas said: "Anthropic has become one of the most respected AI labs due to its Claude models. These models perform well in coding tasks, complex reasoning, and content generation. Many developers appreciate Claude's ability to handle an extended context window. These models even provide thoughtful explanations and maintain coherence in longer text passages compared to some competitors' artificial intelligence systems."

Earlier this month, Anthropic confirmed that its valuation reached $61.5 billion after completing its latest $3.5 billion funding round.

Butterfly Effect, a Chinese startup, reportedly said that its Manus uses the Claude large model and a fine-tuned model of different Alibaba's Qwen large models (Qwen). Recently, Manus has exploded in the Chinese technology circle with the name of "the world's first autonomous AI agent that can execute complex tasks", and many technology people call it "the next DeepSeek".
