Great. So you've gone down from $1T to "half of that budget". If you're honest with yourself, you'll find the true number. | ||||||||

obviously, I was never suggesting that the DoD spends $961b a year on cloud computing. Look, it’s a very simple question: Amazon has invested $8b into anthropic. Do you think if the DoD disappeared tomorrow that Amazon would lose more than $8b in revenue over the next 5 years? I think you underestimate how large the DoD budget is and how many times that money changes hands in the pursuit of fulfilling contracts. $20b-$25b in revenue per year across all hyperscalers is a totally reasonable estimate. | ||||||||
