Anthropic launched enterprise reporting tools on 28 October after recording 900% net revenue retention, with spending by the same customers nine times higher in the third quarter than a year earlier, TechCrunch reported. The announcement came two days after Anthropic published an IPO prospectus reporting $16.29 billion in revenue for the first six months of 2026, CTech reported.
Key points
- Managers can review a team’s output, token costs and workflow problems over a selected period.
- Anthropic is creating pooled group budgets to help teams manage token spending.
- A Jellyfish survey found spending on Claude Code and other Anthropic-based coding tools had grown 10x since the start of the year.
- Anthropic’s IPO prospectus reported a $693 million operating loss for the first half of 2026.
Anthropic puts team output beside token costs
The new reports combine Anthropic’s internal analytics with employee surveys. Managers can select a date range and review what a team worked on, what it produced, what the work cost and where its workflows encountered problems. Anthropic also plans to recommend ways to improve results.
Anthropic says it will not use the information collected for the reports to train its models by default. Its planned pooled budgets would let groups manage token expenditure together, alongside reports showing a team’s work, output and costs for a chosen period.
The tools add spending and output measures to Anthropic’s enterprise products. AI Affairs previously reported that the company had launched Claude Dashboards and Motion in beta. The 28 October announcement centres on what managers can review across a team’s work and what they paid for it.
Anthropic also recorded an operating profit in the second quarter. Its 900% net revenue retention measures spending by customers already on its books, rather than revenue from newly acquired customers. The reporting tools give those existing customers a way to examine costs as their use grows.
Anthropic’s IPO prospectus details infrastructure costs
Anthropic’s prospectus put 2025 revenue at $4.59 billion, following $386 million in 2024 and $41 million in 2023. Despite the increase to $16.29 billion for the first half of 2026, the company reported a $693 million operating loss for that six-month period. Its operating loss was $8.06 billion in 2025.
The prospectus also set out cloud-computing commitments of at least $110 billion with Amazon, approximately $114.5 billion with Google and $44.9 billion with Microsoft over the next seven to 10 years. Anthropic has said that many parts of its infrastructure agreements cannot be cancelled or require payment regardless of use, CTech reported.
Those commitments place the cost of securing computing capacity with Anthropic even when customers use less of it than anticipated. The new budgets address the customer’s side of that spending: how much a team consumes and what it produces over the same period.
Jellyfish finds coding-tool spending up 10x
Jellyfish, which makes tools for software developers, based its coding-tool report on use by 276,000 customers. Claude Code and other products built on Anthropic models were the most widely used agentic coding tools in its survey, accounting for nearly a third of proposed code changes submitted for review.
Jellyfish found that spending on those tools had risen 10x since the beginning of the year. Their cost was about 2% of total engineering cost. Nicholas Arcolano, Jellyfish’s chief scientist, said growth of that scale was beyond what many chief financial officers had planned for, even if the tools remained a small share of engineering costs.
Jellyfish also tracked OpenAI’s Codex. Nikolas Albarran, its AI product lead, told TechCrunch that Codex had become more visible in its data with OpenAI’s Astra model. He said customers had already invested effort in standardising workflows around Anthropic’s tools, making a switch costly even where competing products were similar.
