The fact that almost one-fourth of Anthropic’s revenue last year came from just two customers, and that many of its largest customers have not signed long-term contracts, could translate into a much stronger negotiating position for enterprise CIOs. According to a detailed analysis by Reuters, the company’s confidential prospectus depicted a company that might be…
