"Lab compute 3x-es year over year. For a lab to 10x revenue while continuing to only 3x compute, some combination of the following 3 things has to happen:
1. Lab margins have to increase,
2. The price of compute has to increase,
3. Labs have to spend a greater fraction of their compute on inference.
My understanding is that basically all 3 of these things have been happening..."
"Consider the price at which Google and Anthropic are renting compute from SpaceX.
