OpenAI has experienced several high-profile splits over the years, with key figures departing to launch their own ventures. One of the earliest and most significant was Anthropic, formed in 2021 by a group of former OpenAI employees who positioned the startup as a safer, more research-focused AI lab.
In 2023, Anthropic introduced its first major product, Claude, a chatbot built on the company’s “constitutional AI” framework. The underlying large-language model was quickly recognised for its sophistication, particularly in coding and enterprise-level tasks.
Claude has since gained strong traction among developers and businesses, with Anthropic expanding its API to support a wide range of professional use cases. According to one report, around 80 percent of the company’s revenue comes from enterprise and developer workloads.
As a result, while Claude is far less widely used than ChatGPT on a consumer level, it has generated billions in revenue from business customers, who are more inclined to pay for advanced tools, processing power and tailored support.
Despite its smaller user base, Claude has developed a loyal following thanks to its straightforward interface and integrations, which allow users to connect third-party apps and let Claude take control of the desktop to perform tasks.
We have collected data and statistics on Claude. Read on below to find out more.
