400/mo is about what we are seeing a full time dev use on average, coincidentally.
Indeed if I look at the usage of my cohorts the power users typically spend almost exactly this much

irresponsible growth
not really. just a capacity planning issue on that side. much harder challenge is continuing to train better models.
having a trillion dollars that need 5x payment un 5 years is insane promise by anything but government.
like when you owe a bank a billion dollars, thats the banks problem.

#213What is run-rate revenue and how is it different than revenue (classic)?
Revenue is an integral over the past year or past quarter. Run-rate is taking a recent measurement and multiplying it out so it will span a year. Basically, it assumes they keep all of their current contracts, and don't gain any new ones. Forward-looking revenue is an estimate of what the integral will be from now to a year from now. For a growing company, run rate is between past revenue and estimates of future reve…
Is it qualified at all? Or can you measure anything and multiply it through to get whatever number you want at the end?
Along the lines of "in the 4.75 hours starting at 02:35 yesterday we collected invoices worth $X so our run-rate revenue is now $Y"?

that;s basically nothing, companies are spending upwards of $4,000 to $30,000 PER employee. Is it worth that much? probably not.
Is that truly a recurring expense though or just the cost of doing things now? It remains to be seen whether any of this is sustainable.

I spent $200/month on subscriptions last month ($100 each to Anthropic and OpenAI) and the API cost version of my token spend was $2,100 - and if I'd been on the "Enterprise" plans my company would have had to pay the full price, not the subscription discount: https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/27/product-market-fit/#en... I agree that $400/month is a HUGE amount, but there might be a path to that.
I spend $0/month.

#216Boys we got more subsidy for Claude Code Plans! Let the VC financed spending of 1000$ of datacenter cost for 200$ sales price continue!
I miss when my DoorDash was still subsidized.

Ironic that you spelled it wrong though thrice.
Yeah I'm pretty sure I switch between chatgbt, chatgtb, chatgtp, and chatgpt quite often without realizing it. Still everyone knows what I'm talking about.
It sounds like you have no clue what you're talking about.
The people in real life who say ChatGBT or similar are either so out of the loop the technology doesn't even matter to them, or simply are just stupid.
There is no way a person who can't get "GPT" right is even worth listening to.

ChatGPT is a word now. People may use Perplexity, or Google, or Grok to ask questions online. And later they tell you "ChatGPT told me this". It's a new "I googled in Yahoo".
ChatGPT is the 5th most visited site (as well as has nearly a billion weekly active users) and none of the competitors are even close. In the consumer space, Gemini is doing well but Claude is not even in the same galaxy. OpenAI is undoubtedly the leader in consumer LLMs and by a large margin. I'm sure there are mixups, but if someone is telling you they're using chatGPT, they almost certainly mean they're using chat…
I’m pretty sure Gemini would be the leader in consumer LLMs considering it’s on every single search result. Every single google search is also usage of gemini.

You can run models near 24/7 per developers at that price with judicious choice of subscriptions, so that's not really saying much. Most people don't yet have mature enough setups to fully exploit that level of use.
With open models, perhaps. But $100/week isn't going to get you 24/7 use of Claude Sonnet.
$100/week will get you both a higher tier of Claude and significantly more tokens with GLM5.1 or Kimi, both of which are competitive in a decent harness (for Kimi that means their own CLI - it works well in that, but has a lot of quirks that requires special treatment). Just slightly more will get you all three.

If these are fake revenues, I would think that the sophisticated investors would see through that? Or everyone is just in some ponzi scheme raising valuation and letting the last investors hold the bag or eventually pass it on to retail investors buying at the peak?
Anthropic is private. They talk all
The time about their numbers being non-gaap run-rate revenues mean extrapolating a month out to a year. All they have to do is book a big deal in May and multiply by 12.
It’s probably still impressive growth, but probably not as impressive as it looks.
