An analyst estimate circulating on X puts Anthropic's binding compute payments at roughly $56bn in 2027 and $86bn in 2028. Projected revenue of $100bn and $140bn respectively would cover not just those non-cancellable commitments but also cancellable capacity and other cash costs. The poster's takeaway: "Anthropic will be fine" — a data point against fears that massive compute commitments could sink the company.
