Anthropic's internal use of its artificial intelligence (AI) assistant Claude has grown to a point where its estimated monthly value exceeds the company's expenses on workers, showing the intensity with which the technology is being deployed within the AI firm.
The value of Anthropic's internal Claude usage, calculated at the prices it charges customers, first exceeded its monthly personnel expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, in April 2026, the company disclosed in an amended initial public offering (IPO) filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The company also said the value of its internal Claude usage increased more than 250 times between January and September 2026.
Anthropic said more than 90 per cent of contributions to its codebase in September 2026 were written by Claude.
The average daily volume of code contributed to the company's codebase per engineer in the three months ended September 30, 2026, was more than 45 times the average daily volume recorded in 2024, according to the filing.
