> Anthropic spends 2.3x its payroll on compute.1 With ~5,000 employees & roughly $10b in inference & training spend in 2026, that works out to about $2m of compute per employee per year against a likely all-in comp of $500k+.2

> The rest of the software market trails.

This shows how VC firms see things and why we have such a lopsided market where grift rises to top easily.

Yes the rest of the software market trails in comparision to the compute costs at Anthropic if you including training the actual models. Like is this the insight? Biggest AI company spends a lot of money to make AI models?

Sure you can find anthropic's business model risky/not feseable but using this as your starting point shows a lack of basic understanding at best and malicious intent to make a stupid point at worst
