I see it this way: xAI is selling badly enough that they are leasing their compute to Anthropic because they know they bought enough of it for the traffic they thought they would get and it’s no where close to that… And not just by a little, so much so that they know it won’t be anytime soon and they might as well make something back for the capital they spent.
