Dario Amodei: Anthropic to spend $900B on compute but locks in 'relatively little' vs rivals

On a livestream with JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon as part of Anthropic's IPO roadshow, Dario Amodei said Anthropic is set to spend $900B on compute while deliberately buying "relatively little" compared to rivals.
- Anthropic locks in only a modest, cheaper amount of compute upfront, limiting downside if demand disappoints
- If demand runs hot, it buys extra capacity on the spot market — renting compute at short notice at going prices instead of making huge long-term bets
