In this episode of Invest Like The Best, Patrick O'Shaughnessy sits down with Anthropic CFO Krishna Rao for a fascinating look inside one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world. Krishna reveals what it takes to manage the lifeblood of generative AI: compute. From procuring gigawatts of processing power across Amazon, Google, and Nvidia, to dynamically allocating it for model training and customer demand, compute dictates Anthropic's future. They explore the company's mind-bending exponential revenue growth, the "cone of uncertainty" in forecasting, and why frontier AI models continue to defy scaling limits. Krishna also shares how Claude is revolutionizing his own internal finance team, Anthropic's unique culture of safety and transparency, and his bold predictions for AI-driven breakthroughs in healthcare. #Anthropic #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Investing #Technology #Claude #Compute #MachineLearning #VentureCapital #Finance Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 2:38 The Compute Canvas 6:51 The "Cone of Uncertainty" in AI Growth 11:58 Why the Returns to Frontier Intelligence Are So High 16:45 Recursive Self-Improvement 20:20 Scaling Laws 23:30 Sourcing $100 Billion in Compute 28:05 Platform vs. Application Strategy 32:52 Pricing Dynamics 38:48 How Anthropic’s Finance Team Uses Claude 43:24 Raising Capital & Overcoming Investor Skepticism 52:32 Public Perception, Risks, and Government Regulation 57:25 Mythos 1:12:33 What Could Derail the AI Revolution? 1:13:47 Biotech and Healthcare 1:15:31 The Kindest Thing Presented by Ramp: https://ramp.com/invest Sponsored by Vanta, WorkOS, Rogo, and Ridgeline: https://www.vanta.com/invest https://workos.com/ https://rogo.ai/invest https://www.ridgelineapps.com/ ****** Patrick O'Shaughnessy is the CEO of Positive Sum.
