United flight forced to turn around midair after crew member spotted horrifying text on passenger's phone trib.al/YjomwPa
its a great day to be a hyperscaler
One of the more under-appreciated details in Anthropic's S-1:
Nearly half of Anthropic's revenue now flows through cloud marketplaces - 48% in the first half of 2026, up from 11% in 2023. That's roughly $7.8B of revenue in six months sold through Bedrock, Vertex and Azure Marketplace instead of direct.
Which means the hyperscalers get paid twice! They sell Anthropic the compute - Anthropic has committed hundreds of billions of dollars to AWS, Google and Microsoft - and then they take a fee on roughly half of the revenue distributed through their marketplaces.
Also on gross margin...those marketplace fees don't sit in cost of revenue. They're in sales, marketing & partnerships, so they never touch the headline 85% gross margin everyone is quoting today. Fees paid to channel partners alone rose ~$2.7B year over year in H1 2026.
Hyperscalers feel like they're kind of the winner here all around though reading through this.

Heard from a neolab friend:
“Even if we fail to train the best model, we locked in GPU capacity early. H100/B200/B300 rental prices have since gone up 2–3x. We can just resell the compute and print money.”
OK, so that’s the business model.

This was the only way Canva could stay competitive on the image gen economics. I'm glad they trained their own stuff.
