• SaaS companies seeing Anthropic’s ARR growth flatline https://t.co/n03y57emMG@mattturckX · Sep 30, 2026
  

  QuotedSilicon Data@Silicon_Data👀 Interesting data from @tickerplus. Acc to this data, Anthropic's ARR seems to have flatlined around the time when the token index peaked. Many people questioned (rightly) at the time the inferential value of our token index for frontier labs due to the incomplete coverage. We had argued that the token index was likely a leading indicator for where AI usage was headed.
