Call me cynical: “slow AI” is strategically convenient.
$MSFT and $NVDA have committed to invest up to $5B and $10B in
@AnthropicAI respectively, while Anthropic has committed $30B back to Azure.
Amazon has invested $13B with potentially $20B more tied to milestones while Anthropic has pledged $100B+ to AWS over ten years.
Then comes regulation smaller rivals can BARELY afford.
Meanwhile safety testing and inference still burn compute.
Slow AI or protect the moat?
