Anthropic increases revenue sevenfold, hits annualized rate above $65 billion Matthias Bastian View the LinkedIn Profile of Matthias Bastian Aug 18, 2026 Anthropic has hit an annualized revenue rate above $65 billion, based on performance through the end of July 2026, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke to Bloomberg. That's a sevenfold jump from a year earlier. The company disclosed the figures in a regular investor update, one source sa

We’re releasing two new OpenAI Baselines implementations: ACKTR and A2C. A2C is a synchronous, deterministic variant of Asynchronous Advantage Actor Critic (A3C) which we’ve found gives equal performance. ACKTR is a more sample-efficient reinforcement learning algorithm than TRPO and A2C, and requires only slightly more computation than A2C per update.

We’re releasing highly-optimized GPU kernels for an underexplored class of neural network architectures: networks with block-sparse weights. Depending on the chosen sparsity, these kernels can run orders of magnitude faster than cuBLAS or cuSPARSE. We’ve used them to attain state-of-the-art results in text sentiment analysis and generative modeling of text and images.
