[Claude Code Annualized Revenue Exceeds $1 Billion in Six Months] March 10 news: Olivia Moore, partner at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), released the sixth edition of the Global Top 100 AI Consumer Products list (data as of January 2026). In the "AI Beyond Browsers" section, it was revealed that Anthropic's command-line development tool Claude Code achieved annualized revenue exceeding $1 billion within just six months of launch. OpenAI's desktop programming application Codex reached 2 million weekly active users by early March, with a weekly growth rate of 25%. The AI programming tool Cursor remains in the Top 50 on the web platform. a16z also pointed out that Vibe Coding has yet to break into the mainstream user base. The traffic growth rate of the top five platforms has slowed from the initial explosive phase, but revenue continues to grow as developers and teams deepen their usage intensity. The report suggests that current ranking methods (web traffic and mobile monthly active users) are increasingly unable to reflect the true usage of AI. Developers writing code for 8 hours a day in Claude Code and knowledge workers using the voice dictation tool Wispr to handle emails generate almost no web traffic. a16z acknowledges that its statistical metrics need to evolve.
