Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

And there was a point you guys hit on in the intro that I think is really worth acknowledging, and it was this concept of model routing.

Odd Lots

The idea that not everyone needs just the latest model, that it's different types of models, I can hit different use cases.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

This is something we've been talking about for a while as it relates to the infrastructure side of things as well.

Odd Lots

Because you don't need that latest model for everything.

Odd Lots

Accordingly, you don't need the latest piece of infrastructure to support every single inference or training query that's out there.

You can kind of conceptualize this matrix of different sizes of workloads relative to different sizes of GPUs.

And all of a sudden, that tells you, my God, H100s could last six, seven, eight years.

A100s are going to last longer.

And it totally changes the entire conversation around depreciable life of infrastructure.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

as that was a really popular topic during 2025.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

People were saying like, oh, this stuff will last two years.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

It's worth zero afterwards.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

And like, we've never seen any semblance of that because of the point you guys are accurately making, which is users are going to need to find a way

to use the appropriate model for their prompts.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

And that'll be solved by model routing, to your point.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

But that just further enables this concept that infrastructure is going to be used longer.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

And we see that every day in our portfolio, extending all the way back to A100s.

Odd Lots
How CoreWeave Sees the Market for Compute Right Now

It's a great question.

Odd Lots

The scenario you presented, Anthropic would be our client.

Odd Lots

Okay, got it.
