Share of the company's AI research work led by Claude, as reported, and four paths from here.

Four paths from there: at half the straight-line pace, 56 percent by November 2027; at the same pace, 86 percent; at double the pace, all of it by mid-2027; and if the February-to-August growth compounds, all of it by November 2026.

February is reported as under 1 percent; shown as 1. Same pace is about four points a month, the February-to-August rate. Compounding means the February-to-August growth repeats: a doubling about every five to six weeks. All four paths are what-ifs, not forecasts from Anthropic. Capped at 100.
