Silicon Valley AI computing power competition intensifies, GPUs become hard currency
Start here
The competition for AI compute in Silicon Valley continues to heat up. According to QbitAI, Anthropic has partnered with SpaceX, gaining over 300 megawatts of new capacity and 220,000 Nvidia GPUs since May; Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer moved to OpenAI after his team's compute was reallocated. SemiAnalysis data shows that the one-year rental price for H100s rose from $1.70 per GPU per hour in October 2025 to $2.35 in March 2026, an increase of nearly 40%.
