Would be weird if they're raising $10 billion after spending only 0.3

Probably more like 3-4 billion by now?

Right? Their V4 model is too good for them to be spending less than 1% of what Anthropic is.

Apparently their strategy is to dump a fuckton of money in hopes that that will make them dominate the market, just like they did with the metaverse thing. It's like a hobbyist who buys the most expensive gear on the first day of trying out a new hobby.
