Anthropic signed at least 14.8GW of computing power in the past 11 months, with a potential cost of up to 517 billion USD

According to statistics from The Information, Anthropic has signed at least 14.8GW of computing power in the past 11 months, which can be gradually utilized in the coming years. Based on currently public contracts, the potential total cost could reach up to $517 billion, with most expenditures occurring over the next decade. In addition to the 1-2GW already secured before October last year, the total computing power signed by Anthropic is approximately 16GW.This round of expansion is primarily driven by the demand for Claude. This year, the growth of Claude Code and Cowork has exceeded Anthropic's expectations, prompting the company to focus on acquiring computing power. The new agreement with Amazon provides up to 5GW, while Google and Broadcom offer another 5GW, and Microsoft and NVIDIA provide approximately 1GW. Anthropic has also rented all computing power from SpaceX's Colossus 1, acquiring over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, including H100, H200, and GB200.Anthropic has secured about 16GW, with many contracts extending beyond 2030. OpenAI has set a target for investors to reach 30GW by 2030, expecting to invest approximately $750 billion in computing power by that year. The $517 billion figure is the potential maximum cost estimated by The Information based on existing cloud services, chip, and data center contracts, with some computing power potentially being delayed or unused, and some contracts allowing for early cancellation.

first_img Ukrainian police dismantle cryptocurrency scam, with monthly thefts reaching 1 million USD

The Ukrainian police and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) recently dismantled a scam network that used a fake investment platform to steal cryptocurrency. This network disguised itself as an investment platform website, luring users to connect their main cryptocurrency wallets and approve a small test transaction when withdrawing funds. Subsequently, it used a "wallet stealer" hidden within the website to automatically transfer user funds to wallets controlled by the operators, kicking victims off the platform. Investigators have currently confirmed 62 victims, with over 46 Ukrainian citizens involved, and the network could steal up to $1 million per month.The police stated that the false profits displayed on the platform are part of the scam, with operators manually creating transactions and adjusting user account balances to create the illusion of investment growth. In addition to cryptocurrency, the platform also collected victims' passport information, phone numbers, email addresses, login credentials, and photos during the registration and identity verification process. The main organizer of the network is a 25-year-old IT expert who recruited over 46 Ukrainian citizens and operated multiple offices in Kyiv and surrounding areas, with members responsible for building and maintaining fake websites, contacting potential victims, and providing security.Victims come from multiple countries, including Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Israel. The police traced the gang's server equipment located in the Netherlands and obtained a database stored there, which included a list of victims, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, suspected stolen amounts, internal communications, and platform operation information. The Ukrainian police and SBU subsequently executed 34 searches in Kyiv and surrounding areas, seizing over 100 computers, more than 100 mobile phones, 79 SIM cards, documents, cash, and 15 vehicles.

first_img A dormant Bitcoin wallet wakes up after 15 years, turning 120 USD into 3 million USD

According to on-chain monitoring data from Galaxy Research, from August 29 to September 4, four long-dormant Bitcoin wallets were activated, transferring a total of 202.84 BTC, worth approximately 15.73 million USD.Among them, the largest wallet held 146.06 BTC (approximately 11.31 million USD), which had not been touched since November 2013, holding for nearly 12.8 years, with an unrealized profit of about 12,902% based on a cost price of approximately 595 USD. A wallet that has been dormant since November 2011, holding 40 BTC, is valued at approximately 3.09 million USD, with an average cost of about 3 USD, resulting in an unrealized profit of up to 2,571,899%, allowing the holder to earn over 3 million USD from an initial investment of about 120 USD over nearly 15 years. Additionally, two other wallets transferred 10 BTC (approximately 777,000 USD) and 6.78 BTC (approximately 551,000 USD), respectively.Galaxy marked the transfer of 6.78 BTC as being received by Coinbase, a signal that typically indicates the holder intends to sell rather than simply transfer assets. Some of the activated wallets were tagged with the sender label "Noah Doe," related to New York State's lawsuit declaring thousands of dormant addresses as unclaimed property. Since a judge suspended the proceedings in June, the relevant wallets have shown multiple movements. This wave of awakenings continues the trend observed since this summer, with six wallets previously transferring approximately 40 million USD within ten days in August.
