# Most of Anthropic’s revenue comes from models that barely existed six months ago

**[The New Stack](https://daily.dev/sources/newstack)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Anthropic's S-1 filing, submitted ahead of its planned Nasdaq listing under ticker ANT, shows models released in the prior six months drove over 80% of its third-quarter revenue. The company shipped eight widely available Claude models plus three restricted Mythos models between April and September 2026. The filing doesn't break down revenue per model, and it doesn't show whether customer demand drove the faster release pace. Anthropic's heaviest Claude Code enterprise users reportedly spend 20 times more than other enterprise users, and Reuters reported Anthropic's Q3 revenue hit $16.8 billion.

## Questions this post answers

### How much of Anthropic's revenue comes from its newest Claude models?

Models released in the six months leading up to September 30 accounted for more than 80% of Anthropic's third-quarter revenue, according to its S-1 filing ahead of a planned Nasdaq listing under ticker ANT.

### How much more do heavy Claude Code enterprise users spend than typical users?

Anthropic's heaviest Claude Code enterprise users spend roughly 20 times more than other enterprise users, according to figures in Anthropic's S-1 filing. This detail shows that a small group of high-spending customers could account for a large share of revenue, independent of how many customers actually switched to newer models.

Anthropic reportedly generated $16.8 billion in third-quarter revenue, according to Reuters reporting that cited attendees at Anthropic's October 14 investor meeting.
