I doubt Anthropic builds their own GPU datacenter.
They might buy some, but I think that Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon and will be the ones buying in large batches to enable companies like Anthropic (and themselves) to scale up to world wide inferencing demands, as well as generally offering the most efficient GPUs to their customers.
- jmathai 2y agoThink they're renting GPUs from the cloud providers? Very plausible. I'm not sure at which point it makes economic sense to buy the GPUs and build out the infrastructure to continually be training something like Claude.
- alephnerd 2y ago> Think they're renting GPUs from the cloud providers It's a major reason why they raised with Amazon [0] There are actually a LOT of other large companies that participated in Anthropic's round but haven't announced it publicly.

- alephnerd 2y agoYep! You're right! I think they were initially using AWS though.
