Anthropic doesnt have $50B to invest, even over multiple years, so who is really writing the checks?

We will soon read that US is investing 50b into AI infrastructure by means of Anthropic commitments. Both balance sheets line up, no money exchanges hands.

NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, and OpenAI are all already engaging in this type of behavior.

Several parties are writing the checks. It's a complex structure of future VC rounds, debt financing, and most importantly, massive cloud credit commitments from their investors like Amazon and Google
