Anthropic briefly posted a dedicated sales role for Meta Platforms, offering $380,000 to $450,000 annually, before removing it after Business Insider contacted the company. Meta spends hundreds of millions of dollars each month on Anthropic services, much of it on Claude Code, whose annualized revenue exceeded $2.5 billion by February. Internal projections cited by The New York Times suggest Meta’s annual spending could eventually reach $10 billion. Meta is simultaneously developing rival AI models, creating a customer-competitor relationship as Anthropic, led by Dario Amodei, targets an initial public offering as soon as October. Meta shares are down about 13% over the past year, but analysts maintain a Strong Buy consensus, with an average 12-month price target of $757.95.
