It's the transition for me - from oil is the new oil, to data is the new oil, and now it's compute. Two years ago, everyone was talking about how companies with proprietary data would own the game, now that conversation is largely mutted, the emphasis now is on who has compute to actually train and serve models at scale
Coreweave (the neocloud provider) is doubling revenues annually, and Elon has a US$15bn annual contract with Anthropic for compute.
Compute is gradually becoming the differentiator.
@signulll it actually is
@signulll Are you sure?
@signulll Bluechip is the new oil.
