The Decoder · rss · 2026-11-15
Days before what could be the largest IPO in history, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called buying compute 'the deepest business dilemma' his company faces, per The Decoder. Key points:
- Anthropic's commitments now total nearly $901 billion;
- It remains unclear whether future revenue will justify those costs;
- Amodei admits 'there's a huge uncertainty in what's going to happen next year';
- The planned IPO is largely meant as a financial buffer against that uncertainty.
