Anthropic expects to reach profitability by 2028, focusing on enterprise clients and limiting expensive research areas like large-scale image or video generation. OpenAI, in contrast, is projected to remain unprofitable until around 2030, with operating losses estimated near 74 billion dollars by 2028. Its spending on chips, data centers, and consumer products is driving rapid expansion but also heavy costs. Anthropic’s leaner approach is producing steadier revenue growth, while OpenAI’s broader ambitions aim to secure long-term dominance in advanced AI despite short-term financial strain.
