Anthropic reportedly signs $517 billion in compute deals after Dario Amodei warned rivals about reckless risk

Anthropic has entered into compute contracts totaling up to $517 billion over the past eleven months to support its AI infrastructure development. Although the company remains behind OpenAI in total projected spending through 2030, this shift follows previous public warnings from CEO Dario Amodei regarding the risks of over-investment in the sector. These substantial capital commitments highlight a broader industry trend of escalating hardware expenditure as companies compete for the resources necessary to scale increasingly powerful machine learning models.
