Anthropic已承诺投入8954亿美元用于算力和基础设施,其中4475亿美元须在2031年之前支付。
其中包括1610亿美元的博通设备租赁、与谷歌达成的1210亿美元协议、与SpaceX达成的最高1200亿美元协议,以及与亚马逊达成的1100亿美元协议。
由于亚马逊和微软的产能已被预订一空,Anthropic与Lambda等GPU租赁商以及TeraWulf等前加密货币矿企签约;这些企业已经掌握土地和电力资源。
为进一步缩短等待时间,Anthropic自行购买英伟达、AMD和博通的芯片及冷却设备,以便站点运营商更快安装设备。
只有2138亿美元的承诺可以取消,或取决于合作伙伴获得融资等条件,因此即使需求放缓,大部分款项仍须支付。
Anthropic已警告称,它可能需要比预期更早获得资金,因此能否保持前沿地位取决于收入增长能否快于这些付款的增长。
Anthropic今天公布了一份更新后的IPO申报文件,首次披露了第三季度业绩。
> Anthropic从第二季度的9.74亿美元营业利润转为第三季度的5.67亿美元营业亏损。
主要原因是50亿美元的短期算力支出,其成本远高于长期合同,以及为匹配员工慈善捐款而计入的20亿美元非现金费用。
> Anthropic从第二季度的9.74亿美元营业利润转为5.67亿美元亏损。算力成本升至收入的58%,其中包括50亿美元成本更高的短期算力;匹配员工捐款又增加了20亿美元的非现金费用。
> 调整后营业利润仍从22亿美元升至25亿美元,但调整后利润率从19%降至15%。Anthropic预计近期将使用更多短期算力,这将进一步挤压利润率。
> 原始申报文件中留空的算力承诺总额现为8950亿美元。
其中,预计4470亿美元将在2030年底前支付,700亿美元将在12个月内到期,2140亿美元附有终止权或取决于特定条件。
> 已签署但尚未开始的租赁占8950亿美元总额中的4510亿美元,其中1000亿美元是在9月30日之后签署的。另有1500亿至1750亿美元未确定固定金额的交易不计入该总额。
> 在截至10月签署的修订协议后,谷歌截至2033年7月的最低承诺额从10月26日申报文件中的1150亿美元升至1210亿美元。
> 前9个月的经营现金流为正,达70亿美元。截至9月30日,流动资金达到1470亿美元:其中现金960亿美元、短期投资360亿美元,以及可用信贷150亿美元。
原文
Anthropic published an updated IPO filing today with its third-quarter results for the first time. > Anthropic went from a $974M operating profit in the second quarter to a $567M operating loss in the third. The main causes were $5 B of short-term compute, which costs much more than its long-term contracts, and a $2 B noncash charge for matching employee charitable donations. > Anthropic swung from a $974M second-quarter operating profit to a $567M loss. Compute rose to 58% of revenue, including $5.0B of pricier short-term capacity, and donation matching added $2B of noncash charges. > Adjusted operating income still rose to $2.5B from $2.2B, but the adjusted margin fell to 15% from 19%. Anthropic expects to use more short-term compute in the near term, which will squeeze margins further. > The total compute commitment, left blank in the original, is now $895B. Of that, $447B is expected before the end of 2030, $70B is due within 12 months, and $214B carries termination rights or contingent conditions. > Leases signed but not yet started make up $451B of the $895B total, and $100B was signed after September 30. Another $150B to $175B in deals without fixed dollar amounts sits outside the total. > Google’s minimum commitment rose to $121B through July 2033, up from $115B in the October 26 filing, after amendments signed through October. > Operating cash flow was positive at $7B for the 9 months. Liquidity reached $147B on September 30: $96B cash, $36B short-term investments and $15B of available credit.
