Anthropic’s move to diversify from Nvidia chips may give it an edge against OpenAI

Anthropic has reportedly been upping its revenue forecasts, and appears to be catching up to market leader OpenAI.

Anthropic’s thriving API business is juicing its revenues, and it has made some strategic moves that are boosting its margins.

Unlike OpenAI’s all-Nvidia strategy, Anthropic has diversified to also use chips from Amazon and Google, according to a report from The Information.

The cheaper, more efficient chips may be part of the reason that Anthropic is projecting that it will be profitable in 2027.

The report also notes that OpenAI’s expensive $40 billion “backup” server build-out is part of its plan to eventually monetize hundreds of millions of nonpaying ChatGPT users, while Anthropic is generating 80% of its revenue from paid API access and isn’t spending as much to serve its much smaller base of free users.

Alphabet sold $3.6 billion in Japanese yen bonds — a record for a foreign company — likely to help its AI capex binge

We now have the value for Alphabet’s Japanese yen bond raise — 576.5 billion yen, or $3.6 billion — and it’s a record for a foreign issuer in Japan. The deal was spread across seven tranches with maturities ranging from 3 to 40 years, allowing the company to lock in rates as low as 1.965%.

The latest deal comes on the heels of Alphabet’s massive US and European bond deals, where the company has tapped global markets for nearly $60 billion in fresh capital over the last few months. In a filing earlier this week, the search giant said it would use the proceeds for “general corporate purposes.” That likely means fueling its AI infrastructure build-out, which has pushed its projected 2026 capex bill to a staggering $190 billion.

Bloomberg: Relationship between OpenAI and Apple has deteriorated and legal action may be imminent

The two-year-old alliance between Apple and OpenAI has deteriorated, Bloomberg reports, with the AI giant now consulting legal counsel about issuing a potential breach of contract notice.

OpenAI executives allege that Apple failed to adequately integrate and promote ChatGPT on the iPhone, causing the AI firm to lose out on billions a year in subscriptions and hurt its brand, according to the report.

Meanwhile, Apple has expressed concerns over OpenAI’s privacy protection, and has been miffed that OpenAI has been working on its own hardware with former Apple design lead Jony Ive.

More recently, Apple, which has trailed its peers in developing AI, has decided to offer users their choice of AI models, rather than aligning exclusively with OpenAI’s.
