Alphabet's announcement of an $811 billion investment plan underscores the scale of infrastructure required for the next phase of AI. This follows a $45 billion spend in the previous quarter, indicating no slowdown in hyperscaler investment. Meta is exploring a pivot toward cloud services by leasing its compute capacity to Anthropic. This $10 billion deal could provide a roadmap for Meta to justify its high capex by generating direct revenue from its GPU clusters.
