Shanu Mathew(@ShanuMathew93):Awesome read. Anthropic’s huge compute commitments are MANAGEABLE because payments stretch over years. He estimates BINDING payments of ~$56bn in 2027 and ~$86bn in 2028, with projected revenue of $100bn/$140bn covering even cancellable capacity and other cash costs. The real vulnerability is revenue trajectory disappointing or further spending commitments. Note: his projected ~$200bn cash cushion assumes a ~$100bn IPO.
