Anthropic and OpenAI are these customers, willing to buy the infrastructure. But they are running out of cash, too.

Wait, Anthropic has $112 billion in cash right now and generates about $70B in revenue per year and grew 10x YoY. If they succeed in raising $100B in cash in the IPO, which I believe they will, they'll have $212B. If their growth declines to 3x (down from 10x) in 2027, they'll still be at $230B in yearly revenue.

Further more, their compute commitments are over 10-20 years. Their average quarterly compute commitment is only about $11B - $15B which they have already surpassed with their revenue.

At $230b/year, they’d be at around $57b in quarterly revenue against compute of around $16b. This is not bleeding cash.

Why do you say they're running out of cash? Can we see your math?
