## Summary

Steve Eisman, the investor known for his prescient warnings about financial risks, believes that OpenAI and Anthropic are vulnerable due to their heavy investment in computing power. He argues that cheaper rival models could force these giants to cut prices, threatening their ability to maintain such investments. Morningstar counters this with a $57 billion annual cost advantage by securing bulk computing power agreements at lower rates than hyperscalers. However, the market is shifting; Vercel data shows customers increasingly spreading spending across multiple AI models, including cheaper alternatives. This could put pressure on pricing for both established and newer players in the AI space.
