Claude too expensive for companies, only 2.2% of US households paying for AI

Such financial concerns and competitive dynamics could pose challenges for a potential Anthropic IPO.

Unlike previous reports focusing on AI adoption rates, this one highlights the specific financial barrier of Claude's cost for companies and its impact on employee usage.
