Anthropic's public S-1 filing of October 26, 2026 turns a year of leaks into audited numbers: $16.286 billion of revenue in six months, a first profitable quarter, an $80.7 billion headline loss that is mostly accounting, and a governance structure built to keep control out of public shareholders' hands. This study tests what the filing actually proves, what it leaves blank, and what it means for the AI funding race.
