Anthropic is poised to be the first frontier AI lab to disclose its audited gross margin, a figure that is expected to significantly impact the valuation of other AI companies like OpenAI and the investment thesis for hyperscale GPU buildouts. According to PitchBook, Anthropic's projected gross margins of around 44% validate half of its $965 billion valuation, with revenue growth being the other critical factor.
