Anthropic operates across three cloud providers, limiting its ability to depend on a single standardized compute configuration across its infrastructure.

“right shape of, like, how we should run our compute- Yeah... in order to power all these sorts of things. Yeah. Um, but it's also interesting because we can't necessarily rely on, like, because we get our compute across.”

“We run on all three clouds. We're running all over the place.”

“Like, we don't necessarily have, like, one shape of here's exactly, like, the compute, the types of machines that we know we're gonna run on and the way that some certain compute works that we can, like, rely on across the board, if that makes sense, other than, like, the most vanilla versions of these things.”
