Compute Wars: OpenAI vs Anthopic.

Why was Opus 4.5 such a breakthrough? Anthropic got lots more compute from AWS Madison and New Carlisle sites likely more than doubling their capacity.

This got Anthropic got close to OpenAI's total capacity, and probably much higher effective capacity available for new model runs.

Remember that it takes 6+ months between getting capacity and releasing the model, so the extra OpenAI capacity might be aligning well with the 'spud' model rather than GPT-5.4.

Unless something dramatic happens, OpenAI will pull away in terms of compute available in H2 2026, but 2027 will be close. Future years are less certain but so far OpenAI has much higher planned capacity, though can't imagine Anthropic isn't pushing as hard as they can to get lots more compute.

Always watch the compute, other things matter, but any new capability breakthrough probably came from throwing more compute at it.

New ballot initiative in Oregon called ‘Initiative Petition 28, the PEACE Act, will make it illegal to hunt, fish or raise animals, even if it’s on your own land

If passed it will be ILLEGAL to

- Hunt or fish for food (even on your own property or for sustenance

- Raise and slaughter animals like chickens, rabbits, pigs, cows, etc., for meat on your own land or farm.

- Engage in common livestock practices (e.g., breeding via artificial insemination)

- Control pests by killing them (in many cases)

If passes it will lead to investigations and prosecutions of farmers and individuals raising animals for food, including small scale or backyard operations with rabbits and chickens

“They're going to raid all of our farmers and go after them because they're trying to quietly pass it and then make it where we all have to eat from the stores instead of farmer's markets and stuff.”

Japanese users just took over X this weekend: flooding timelines and crushing engagement.

Japan already has insane usage rates, and this was proof.

For a moment, the internet felt wholesome again.

Computer use? More like “computer, use up all my rate limits in 2 minutes despite me paying $200/month”
