  "transcript": "Anthropic paying $1.25b for 220k GPUs at Colossus 1 AND X GPUs at Colossus 2.\n\nGoogle paying $920m for 110k GPUs.\n\nEven if the $1.25B was just colossus 1, anthropic is paying less than google per GPU. If we assume 20/80 split of Colossus 1 / 2, then Google is paying like 8X more per GPU. So what's going on? Can Google not negotiate?\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[97 upvotes] Colossus 1 is mainly Hopper generation GPUs. So H100s and a few H200s.  \nAlso Colossus 1 was something around 200k GPUs if I remember correctly. So Anthropic kind of rents the whole Colossus 1.\n\nI think Colossus 2 is mainly Blackwells.\n\n[52 upvotes] Probably different GPUs.\n\n[46 upvotes] Google has invested a stupid amount of money in SpaceX and they want to cash out but can't unless Musk brow beats the markets to make him a trillionaire, the problem is that the S&P500 guys are not compromising themselves for him so google is throwing him a softball deal that they can easily get out from but that can give the impression of profitability to SpaceX so that they can cash out.\n\nThis has barely anything to do with AI really.
