OpenAI slams Anthropic in memo to shareholders as its leading AI rival gains momentum
Summary
OpenAI sent a memo to investors criticizing rival Anthropic’s smaller compute trajectory and calling the company compute-constrained while outlining OpenAI’s plan to reach 30 gigawatts of compute by 2030 versus Anthropic’s projected 7–8 gigawatts by the end of 2027. The memo framed OpenAI’s lead as a compounding advantage driven by infrastructure, algorithmic gains, and lower cost per token. Both companies are racing for enterprise customers and potential IPOs amid aggressive competition from big tech, and Anthropic recently announced a powerful new model and a cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing. OpenAI emphasized its approach to democratize AI and support builders by passing capacity to developers and users.
