Claude means business

Anthropic’s IPO filing makes Claude Code the center of its enterprise growth story. The company on Monday filed to go public on Nasdaq. Its S-1 says the average Claude Enterprise user without Claude Code spent less than $75 a month in the third quarter. The top 5% of Claude Code users on Enterprise spent about 20 times that.
