According to 1M AI News monitoring, Anthropic has landed on the latest cover of Time magazine, with CEO Dario Amodei featured in the center under the title "The War for AI." This marks the first time an AI industry company has been featured on the cover of Time (previously, the 2025 Person of the Year was a group portrait of "AI Architects"), with the story written by reporters Harry Booth and Billy Perrigo after a three-day on-site visit to Anthropic's headquarters, defining Anthropic as "The Most Disruptive Company in the World."

The report highlights Anthropic's current scale: just completing a $30 billion funding round (potentially IPO this year), with a valuation of $380 billion, surpassing Goldman Sachs, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola; Claude Code's single-product annual revenue reached $25 billion as of February this year (up from $10 billion at the end of 2025), and according to Epoch and Semianalysis estimates, Anthropic is on track to surpass OpenAI's total revenue by the end of 2026. Each new product release triggers stock market fluctuations, and when Claude introduced sales, finance, legal, and marketing plugins for non-programmers, the software company's market value plummeted by $3 trillion.

The feature also delves into the behind-the-scenes conflict between Anthropic and the Pentagon. After Amodei adhered to two red lines (prohibiting Claude from being used in fully autonomous lethal weapons and mass surveillance of U.S. citizens), he was listed as a supply chain risk. In an leaked internal memo, he wrote, "The real reason is we didn't donate to Trump, didn't give dictatorial praise like Sam Altman." Following the conflict, Claude's iPhone App soared to the number one spot on the App Store, with over one million daily registrations. The report also reveals that 70% to 90% of the code used to develop future models is now written by Claude itself, and Claude's speed in certain critical tasks is 427 times that of a human overseer, with Chief Scientist Jared Kaplan believing that fully automated AI research may only take a year.
