> why they'd agree to it

that's obvious, but perhaps worth stating: it's worth it, demand for the model is unprecedented and the only downside for Anthropic if AWS rejected would be some revenue pushed a quarter away as they get Fable ready on their recently acquired compute from xAI and Google.

I'm sure AWS told Anthropic this was a bad idea, but now that OpenAI is on AWS, this doesn't really change AWS' competitive posture as much as it does for Anthropic. When OpenAI releases a similar model they will presumably not make this mistake, and we will switch our configs to the OAI models.
