Alex Palcuie

From the Google and Broadcom partnership announcement:

Our run-rate revenue has now surpassed $30 billion—up from approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025.

I joined Anthropic on April 1, 2025. Around that time, CNBC reported:

Annualized revenue reached $2 billion in the first quarter, the company confirmed, more than doubling from a $1 billion rate in the prior period.

$2 billion to $30 billion. 15x in the year I have been here.

The Register wrote up my QCon London talk on using Claude for incident response:

When Claude is asked to produce a postmortem report, it delivers “an 80 percent story that’s pretty, it’s readable and convincing,” said Palcuie, but “it’s really bad at root causes.” Claude says “this was the thing, and we all know it is not one thing. It’s not one root cause… It was never the rollout. It was never the code change. It was all the processes in the company that allowed the incident. And Claude doesn’t know the history of your system, especially if your system has been there for ten years.”

Strange to read your own words quoted back at you by El Reg.
