AGI-like models matching or outperforming human experts across most professional domains could arrive as early as 2026-2027.

AGI-like models matching or outperforming human experts across most professional domains could arrive as early as 2026-2027. | Claude expert-level benchmarks; Anthropic ARR trajectory

Key catalyst: Claude expert-level benchmarks; Anthropic ARR trajectory

Watch events: Claude 4.x/5.x model releases; agentic task completion benchmarks; enterprise white-collar substitution metrics.

Anthropic crossed $30B ARR April 2026 overtaking OpenAI; Claude capability trajectory (Opus 4.6/4.7 family) supports aggressive timeline.
