Anthropic's prospectus discloses mixed use of four types of chips, potentially weakening Nvidia's pricing power

English text is being prepared.

AI summary

In the S-1 registration statement published on Monday, Anthropic said it has integrated computing resources from multiple strategic partners into a unified, flexibly allocatable pool, and allocates tasks according to each chip's performance advantages in different scenarios. It uses four types of chips to train Claude and provide services: Amazon Trainium, Google TPU, Nvidia GPU, and AMD GPU. Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy believes that customers able to shift tasks across four platforms are in a different position in negotiations, and what may really be affected is Nvidia's pricing power; IDC analyst Ashish Nadkarni said a multi-chip strategy can also reduce sensitivity to fluctuations in Nvidia chip supply.

Anthropic在周一公布的S-1招股说明书中表示,其将来自多个战略合作伙伴的算力资源“整合为一个统一、可灵活调配的池”,并借助软件技术,根据各芯片在不同场景下的性能优势,灵活调配任务。

Anthropic表示,其用于训练Claude并提供相关服务的芯片共有四类,分别为亚马逊Trainium、谷歌TPU、英伟达GPU以及AMD GPU。

英伟达定价权或受削弱

“真正可能受到影响的是英伟达的定价权,因为一个能够在四个平台之间转移任务的客户,与做不到这一点的客户,在谈判中的处境截然不同。”Moor Insights & Strategy创始人兼首席执行官Patrick Moorhead表示。

IDC分析师Ashish Nadkarni表示,多芯片策略还能使Anthropic更少受到英伟达芯片供应波动的影响。

Anthropic并非唯一在算力供应上分散布局的头部AI企业。据媒体最新报道,OpenAI计划采购谷歌AI芯片。目前尚不清楚这笔采购的财务条款及其他细节。OpenAI一直是英伟达最重要客户之一,英伟达也已向这家初创公司投入数百亿美元。

打破英伟达主导权并非易事

Moorhead表示,尽管Anthropic混用多种芯片这件事本身并不新鲜,但该公司现在正将其作为一项核心优势来向投资者推介。

Moorhead还提到,Anthropic仍在持续投入大量资金用于英伟达的算力。

D.A. Davidson技术研究主管Gil Luria表示,虽然像OpenAI这样的主要公司可能采用多芯片策略,但对于小型企业而言,投入这么多资源做这件事并不值得。

Circular Technology全球研究与市场情报主管Brad Gastwirth表示,Anthropic的策略短期内不会构成重大威胁。他指出,拥有更多芯片选择并不能消除英伟达在性能、网络互联和软件方面的优势。

城堡投资CEO肯·格里芬曾警告称,若供应超过需求,可能导致算力租赁价格下跌。“GPU运行的边际成本很低,就像航空公司一样。一旦出现产能过剩,价格就会自由落体。”格里芬上周表示。
