OpenAI's aggressive deals beat Anthropic's caution

Anthropic was conservative on compute commitments to avoid bankruptcy risk, while OpenAI signed aggressive deals across many providers (CoreWeave, Oracle, SoftBank Energy, NScale); as a result OpenAI has far more compute access by year end, and Anthropic now must use lower-quality providers or pay revenue-share markups to catch up.

Evidence Quote

OpenAI has got way more access to compute than Anthropic by the end of the year. What does Anthropic have to do to get the compute? They have to go to lower-quality providers that they would not have gone to before.
