I don't think what place you're in matters anymore when a small lab like Moonshot can come in and take the top spot out of nowhere.

Sure, but that's more of an indictment of SpaceXAI. All those resources, and they get upstaged by a bunch of much more compute constrained Chinese startups.

I disagree. They're renting out GPUs to other providers because they realize it's a long game that they're in a better position to win because they control infrastructure as well as hardware.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Long game - lol. xAI lost/never gained traction. The talent all left, so Musk is trying to recoup some of the enormous investment in hardware.

This seems more likely to me, but we'll see I guess.

They're waiting for OpenAI and Anthropic's bubble to burst most likely and then they can acquire that talent for a song.
