Anthropic has become SpaceX's largest customer, contributing 34.5% of its revenue in a single quarter, as AI compute demand reshapes the aerospace and cloud infrastructure landscape [1]. Meanwhile, Epoch AI data shows that global compute of AI chips in use is growing 3.4x year-over-year, but the growth rate of newly added compute has slowed from about 6x in 2023 to 2.5x, hinting at an emerging supply-demand inflection point [5]. On the model side, the subscription benefits battle between OpenAI and Anthropic is escalating, and Grok personality benchmarks show a significant decline in sycophancy and fluff [8][20].
