1312 ET - Despite investor jitters around over-investment in AI infrastructure, Anthropic's decision to limit usage for non-API users during peak weekday hours suggests that current investment plans around AI may be insufficient to meet demand, Truist analyst Arvind Ramnani in a note. "In our view, even greater AI capex will be required to satisfy the unprecedented demand levels," he writes. Anthropic's move may be an indication that the company is nearing its computing capacity at a moment of inflection for agentic coding and enterprise AI, Ramnani writes. "Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has previously discussed the risks of over-investing in compute (as overshooting in any year could lead to bankruptcy), but we currently see risk in under-investing as the company could cede share to its top competitors," he says.
