The same filing that set the IPO price range says Anthropic has now "met" the AI research-and-development threshold in its own safety policy — based on what it expects from future models, not current ones. The company also disclosed that Claude wrote more than 90% of the contributions to its codebase in September 2026.

The filing puts revenue for the three months ended September 30 at $17.0 billion, and run-rate revenue at roughly $81 billion as of October 31. None of the filing changes a Claude plan, price or limit.
