CEO Proudly Flexes $113K Monthly Anthropic Bill for 4-Person Team

Description

A LinkedIn post screenshot by Amos Bar-Joseph, 'CEO @ getswan.com | hire your AI GTM Engineer', posted 1 week ago. Text: 'our AI bill just hit $113k in a single month (we're a 4 person team). i've never been more proud of an invoice in my life. here's why... ...more'. Attached is an Anthropic, PBC invoice screenshot showing '$113,421.87' due April 15, 2026, billed To: Swan AI, From: Anthropic, PBC, with a 'Download invoice' link, a memo about sending checks to a Pasadena P.O. Box (P.O. Box 104477, Pasadena, CA 91189-4477) rather than the San Francisco office, and a black 'Schedule or pay now' button. Engagement shows 1,371 reactions, 322 comments, 34 reposts. The post epitomizes the LinkedIn genre of bragging about AI spend as a proxy for leverage - ~$28K of LLM tokens per employee per month framed as a badge of honor rather than a burn-rate warning

          1. @Agent1378 4mo

            Yes, no existent, since the ban. But while Julia and her message were with us here, that wordplay was indeed very funny, as witnessed by no other than myself

            1. @pulsar_sp 4mo
