OpenAI CRO Tells Staff Anthropic Inflates Run Rate by $8 Billion:
The compute section reads like a second front. OpenAI told its investors four days earlier that Anthropic is "operating on a meaningfully smaller curve," projecting 30 gigawatts of OpenAI capacity by 2030 against 7 to 8 gigawatts for Anthropic by end-2027. Today OpenAI runs roughly 1.9 gigawatts. Anthropic runs 1.4. "Even at the high end of that range, our ramp is materially ahead and widening," the investor memo read.
Gotta say that, on the one hand, I get it, on the other hand measuring success by energy consumed is kinda like measuring programmer productivity with lines of code written or AI tokens billed or something.
