fyi the $80B loss is mostly an accounting quirk. In other words, if you’re not already up to speed on accounting practices, it’ll take a while to even understand what it is for most people, just look at the operating income and consider that the profit

That's *adjusted operating income, where adjusted means take out whatever losses and liabilities Anthropic don't want you to count. Under standard accounting rules they don't have any profit, their most profitable period was H1 2026 where they lost $693 million

i didn’t use the word “profit” because it’s too loaded and most accountants use more fine grained terms yet you’re fine with loose terms and confident statements.. that says a lot.
