According to monitoring by 1M AI News, an analysis article published by Axios states that the AI competition is increasingly resembling a capital allocation problem rather than a model competition. Computing power procurement needs to be locked in one to two years in advance; over-purchasing can lead to bankruptcy, while under-purchasing risks losing customers. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated in the Dwarkesh Podcast that if procurement is based on a 10-fold annual growth rate but only achieves 5-fold or is delayed by a year, 'there is no hedging tool in the world that can prevent bankruptcy.' While the unit cost of computing power is indeed decreasing, the demand is rising even faster, leading to a continuous increase in total expenditure, which is a classic case of the Jevons Paradox. The article points out that currently, no one has answered this question correctly. Anthropic chooses restraint, preferring to limit flow and lose customers rather than over-purchase, avoiding peak user training tasks; OpenAI opts for an aggressive approach, making significant investments in computing power. Both strategies come with costs: Anthropic's paying users frequently encounter flow limits and interruptions, with Dylan Patel from semiconductor analysis firm SemiAnalysis warning that they may be forced to turn to lower-quality computing power; OpenAI's spending discipline has already been reflected in the secondary market, with investors shifting from OpenAI to Anthropic. This year, capital expenditures on AI by large-scale cloud providers are expected to approach $700 billion, and even at this record level, the industry's supply of computing power still cannot keep up with demand. The closer it gets to an IPO, the harder it becomes to conceal the answer to this question.

On April 2, Bloomberg reported that several global hedge funds known for their stable returns experienced losses in March due to the disruption of energy, bond, and stock markets caused by the conflict in the Middle East, which forced traders to unwind crowded positions. Sources revealed that multiple multi-strategy hedge funds, including ExodusPoint Capital Management, Balyasny Asset Management, and Millennium Management, recorded declines, giving back all or part of their gains from the previous two months. However, there were also some standout winners, such as the Alpha fund from Kepos Capital and ADAPT Investment Managers from Switzerland.

According to 1M AI News monitoring, OpenAI will release a series of policy papers and proposals on superintelligence next week in conjunction with the launch of its new model, Spud. The topics will include industrial policy and the employment impact of AI, led by CEO Sam Altman, Chief Futurist Joshua Achiam, and Vice President of Global Affairs Chris Lehane. Insiders reveal that the proposals will address 'rethinking the social contract' and 'ensuring superintelligence serves everyone,' with some content potentially sparking controversy, aiming to shift the AI discussion from the tech sphere to a broader public level. Recently, OpenAI has cut Sora, exited its Disney licensing agreement, and canceled its erotic companion program, while its product division has been renamed 'AGI Deployment.' With $122 billion in funding secured and an IPO planned for this year, OpenAI appears eager to define the agenda before regulatory measures are implemented, especially with the upcoming midterm elections in 2026 and declining public support for AI. However, there seems to be a lack of alignment within OpenAI's leadership on AI politics. Achiam previously criticized pro-AI lobbying groups on X for spending money to attack New York congressional candidate Alex Bores, who supports regulation, stating that this 'will later be seen as a meaningless self-inflicted wound.' This has been widely interpreted as a reference to OpenAI President Brockman, who is a major funder of the anti-regulation super PAC. While calling for 'rethinking the social contract,' OpenAI is simultaneously funding efforts to undermine candidates advocating for regulation, indicating that the organization has not yet clarified its approach to dealing with the government.

On April 2, the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China issued a notice regarding the implementation of a special action to empower the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through inclusive computing power. The notice mentioned the innovation of inclusive computing service models. It aims to improve the SME section of China's computing power platform, the computing resource docking section of the China SME Service Network, and the national computing power internet service node section (collectively referred to as the SME platform section), facilitating precise matching between SME demands and computing resource supply, and promoting flexible payment models such as 'card time', 'calculated time', and token billing. The initiative will explore innovative services like 'computing power banks' and 'computing power supermarkets' to support SMEs in depositing idle computing resources, enabling flexible access through cross-regional and cross-period scheduling. Additionally, an AI entrepreneurship support plan for SMEs will be implemented, encouraging local relevant departments to subsidize 'computing vouchers', 'storage vouchers', and 'transportation vouchers' to eligible SMEs through the SME platform section, simplifying the acquisition and usage processes.
