Applied AIAnthropic’s cloud partnerships are getting messy
When a top lab with a November IPO on deck struggles to secure capacity from hyperscalers that also see it as a rival, the compute market is shifting from vendor–customer to coopetition. If you’re building on third-party GPUs at scale, lock in multi-cloud options and term commitments now rather than assuming spot capacity will be there later.
Applied AIMeta details Prometheus, the Ohio supercluster heading for 1 million GPUs
A gigawatt-scale Prometheus cluster in Ohio heading toward 1 million GPUs means hyperscalers are turning entire regions into AI power-and-fiber campuses. If you’re not a trillion-dollar balance sheet, assume your role is to ride these mega-clusters via cloud and colo—not to compete on raw infrastructure.
