Dylan Patel of SemiAnalysis predicts that by the end of 2027, two AI labs, OpenAI and Anthropic, will control or service the demand for half of the world's newly added computing power. This concentration is driven by their rapidly increasing capital expenditures and a shift towards profitability, enabling them to secure a disproportionate share of future hardware. Patel also forecasts a significant increase in the price of compute power, with these labs potentially paying up to $50 million per megawatt, a stark contrast to current costs. He suggests that regulatory restrictions on releasing the most advanced models could slow this revenue growth, while supply-side constraints in the semiconductor industry will further exacerbate price increases.
