Anthropic's Claude subscribers rising amid feud with US government

Anthropic, the artificial intelligence (AI) company behind the Claude chatbot, is witnessing a surge in popularity among consumers. This comes amid its ongoing feud with the US Department of Defense (DoD) and clever Super Bowl ads targeting OpenAI. An analysis of billions of anonymized credit card transactions from around 28 million US consumers by Indagari for TechCrunch shows that Claude is gaining paid subscribers at an unprecedented rate.
