Per WSJ (via ZeroHedge), Anthropic is set to spend more than $600B on compute this quarter. KOL himanshustwts predicts the next leak: Anthropic spending over $5B this quarter on RL Environments, doubling down on coding tasks.
The signal: beyond raw compute, Anthropic is heavily betting on training environments/task data as a resource class — RL environments becoming a scarce input alongside compute. Figures are not yet officially confirmed.
