FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

And so, no, I have not had time to look at how to redo eBay.

But if Ryan called, I'd probably help him out.

FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

But right now, it's wartime on compute, guys.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

So to be clear, AMP is not a cloud business.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

So I started AMP as a holdings business.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

I've got an infrastructure business and a capital business.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

And the infrastructure business secures compute and passes on at cost to our portfolio companies.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

We have more than $1.3 billion in commits for our first fund.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

I've been at it eight weeks.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

And so we do venture capital investments.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

We put $300 million into Anthropic.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

Oh, okay, cool.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

We need to raise another roughly $6.5 billion this year and more is getting committed by the day.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

But we give away the compute at cost to the independent ecosystem because my belief is that they're like sort of

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

that the optimal unit of research today is a, like a focused talent and steam outside of the hyperscalers, you know, anthropic encoding, which was, I was the first, one of the first, I'm certainly, I think I'm the first angel investor, if not the first investor in the round.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

Unfortunately, JCal, I could never top JCal, but if I'm JCal intern or something, fine, I'll take the win.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

But I think more importantly, I think compute is this strategic asset, which I've been yelling about for four years, and it's a primary bottleneck on these teams.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

And if you're not at the hyperscalers, you just can't get access.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

So we buy up that compute, we give it at cost to the portfolio teams, and then we reinvest the profits of carry and fees to buy more compute and so on and so forth.

And so I'll take as much capacity as I can get from Allbirds.
