Following the tech sell-off, large investors seeking to get into Anthropic's IPO are pushing for a valuation of $1.5-1.6 trillion, according to the WSJ. That's a cut from the nearly $2 trillion that had been circulating. More than a blow, it's an exercise in realism.

Anthropic's amended S-1 shows personnel costs of more than $1.7 billion for 5,300 workers in a single quarter, or over $100,000 per employee per month. The headline number is huge. The more telling figure is that these costs have fallen from more than twice revenue in 2023 to 15% of it this year. Anthropic is betting on a small, very expensive team, and so far the bet is working.
