Why AI Profitability Belongs To Enterprise, Not Consumer Scale

OpenAI has filed confidentially for an IPO, but it is still forecasting continued losses and heavy spending on infrastructure.

Anthropic, by contrast, says revenue is growing fast and it expects its first operating profit soon.

Most of Anthropic’s sales come from enterprise and developer customers, not consumer subscriptions.

The contrast suggests investors will judge AI companies less on hype and more on profitability, cash flow, and unit economics.
