> Trailing 12-month revenue per employee topped $6.6 million, up from $1.4 million a year earlier. First-half revenue reached $16.29 billion.

Anthropic had about 5,300 employees on Sept. 30, more than five times its roughly 940 employees at the end of 2024, as revenue per employee climbed above $6.6 million.

The revenue-per-employee figure covers the 12 months through Sept. 30, 2026. It was $1.4 million a year earlier. The measure compares company revenue with its workforce; it is not employee pay.

Anthropic’s revenue for the first half of 2026 reached $16.29 billion, a 1,304% increase from the same period a year earlier. That six-month total covers a different window from the trailing 12-month revenue-per-employee measure.

Claude models produced more than 90% of the company’s codebase contributions in September 2026. Anthropic also had hundreds of open positions, with recruiting continuing alongside the reported growth in its workforce.
