aka SemiAnalysis founder
“You've got Anthropic, OpenAI are taking as much as 40 to 50% of compute next year. And this centralization doesn't look like it's slowing down or stopping. In fact, it looks like it's only accelerating. ... SpaceX is building a ton of compute, and they're actively going to lease quite a bit of it to Anthropic and OpenAI, most likely because they're the ones who have the marginal capability to pay the highest price.”
“They do have to start paying 25, 30, $50 million a megawatt to really gobble up 70% of the world's compute in 2028 to get to that 100 gigawatts by 2028.”
“So if you're at 3 or 4 trillion dollars of CapEx, where does all this cash come from? No one is generating that much cash from the business yet. ... Hyperscalers ... they now don't generate cash, they actually spend everything on capex and in addition they raise debt and spend everything on capex.”
“neolab CISOs are getting a seat at the negotiating table: anyone serious about their future takes security deadly seriously.”
