Your next gaming PC has a competitor you probably never expected: an artificial intelligence data center. Not another gamer hunting for a discounted graphics card.

Anthropic generated $16.3 billion in revenue during the first six months of 2026. Over the same period, the company behind Claude reported a net loss of $80.7 billion.

Imagine an AI that no longer needs a massive data center to survive. Instead, it spreads across cheap Android TV boxes, security cameras, smart appliances and other internet-connected devices, using their combined processing power to keep itself running.
