> Sidenote: I should also add that you can see this is an anomaly when you use Anthropic’s own “dollar of revenue per compute” number. For Q2 2026, it brought in $2 of revenue per $1 of compute spend, up from $1.39 in Q1 2026. This number dropped to $1.70 in Q3. I think it’s a stupid number as it doesn’t really say very much about the business, but even based on Amodeiconomics, this quarter feels like the exception rather than the rule.

...making money is a pretty important part of the business?
