SemiAnalysis estimates about 90% of Anthropic's business is driven by agentic AI, and sources say roughly a quarter of its 2025 revenue came from just two clients.
SemiAnalysis, a market‑research firm that tracks AI‑driven businesses, estimates that roughly 90 % of Anthropic’s current revenue stems from its “agentic AI” offerings – software that powers autonomous assistants, workflow bots and other self‑directed tools. Sources familiar with the company’s finances add that in 2025 almost a quarter of Anthropic’s total income came from just two customers.
The figures highlight two emerging pressures on the frontier‑lab AI sector. First, the dominance of agentic products underscores how quickly the market has shifted from pure language‑model APIs to more complex, task‑oriented services that command higher price points. Second, the concentration of revenue in a handful of large accounts raises questions about the stability of Anthropic’s cash flow as it approaches a public listing. Investors will be watching whether the firm can broaden its client base or diversify its product mix before the IPO.
The data also feeds a broader industry debate about pricing. As powerful AI tools consume ever‑larger compute budgets, both providers and buyers are reconsidering subscription‑based models, usage caps and tiered pricing to make the technology sustainable for enterprises of all sizes.
Going forward, analysts will monitor Anthropic’s upcoming pricing strategy announcements, any moves to win additional enterprise contracts, and the timing and terms of its planned IPO. The company’s ability to spread risk beyond a few marquee clients could prove decisive for its market valuation and long‑term growth.
