GPU wars are reshaping Silicon Valley power dynamics — and it's getting ugly.
$NVDA H100 rental costs up 60% in 12 months. That's not a typo.
Anthropic just inked a $45B compute deal with SpaceX. Yes, Elon's SpaceX. The irony? They're competing with xAI.
Google paid $2.7B to bring back an AI researcher, only to lose him to OpenAI over... GPU allocation disputes.
Startups now face 30% upfront payments and long-term GPU lock-ins just to train models.
Investors aren't just writing checks anymore — they're securing compute clusters.
The AI race isn't about who has the best model. It's about who controls the GPUs and power infrastructure.
Welcome to the new bottleneck.
