Investor: Anthropic May Have Leaked $65B APR for IPO Roadshow

The interesting claim here is not the revenue figure itself but the motive attributed to its disclosure: that a private AI company would use an unaudited run-rate number as pre-IPO positioning. That matters because it shifts the debate from model capability to capital-markets choreography, and it affects how anyone reading AI revenue claims should weigh them ahead of a listing. Whether such figures get independently verified before any roadshow, and whether the leak itself was deliberate, is the open question.
