Anthropic reports $80.7B loss, but claims adjusted profitability amid DeepSeek's growth

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic reported a substantial $80.7 billion net loss for the first half of 2026, largely due to a non-cash charge from convertible bonds. However, the company also showed rapid revenue growth and claimed adjusted profitability with high gross margins by Q3 2026. In contrast, Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, while experiencing significant revenue growth and high API gross margins, is also incurring overall net losses, though at a much smaller scale than Anthropic's reported figure.
