The growth curve that breaks every tech rule: labs tripling at $40B+ scale
Epoch AI's numbers show both labs growing at rates that violate every tech precedent: OpenAI's revenue run rate tripled to over $40 billion in a year, and Anthropic reportedly hit $65 billion by July 2026 after tripling again in a single quarter. Together they're past $100 billion. That kind of growth is essentially unheard of for companies already making over $1 billion — and it's accelerating at a scale where most giants slow to a crawl.
