ANTHROPIC directional thesis
Anthropic's implied valuation keeps ratcheting up as the best model sells out faster than compute can serve it, with revenue and margins outrunning the infrastructure squeeze beneath it.
“The tier 1 lab will have better margins, but the tier 2 lab will be sold out, and probably the tier 3 lab will also be close to sold out. Economic value that the best model can deliver is growing faster than our ability to actually serve those tokens to people via the infrastructure. And so this gap will continue to grow, and the model labs will continue to have expanding margins until people in the hardware supply chain, infrastructure supply chain, are like, wait, no, why don't I just jack up my margins?”23:37claim_id
