Revolut Cuts AI Coding Costs Tenfold by Dropping Claude

British fintech Revolut just slashed its AI coding costs ten times over by completely dropping Claude and going self-hosted. The company managed this massive drop by walking away from Anthropic and managing its own setup. The part nobody is talking about is how much Anthropic itself is spending right now. Its compute tab could top one trillion dollars as third quarter revenue nears seventeen billion. That rapid twelve times revenue growth is not expected to continue according to a revised IPO filing. Meanwhile, other tech giants are making massive bets. Marvell just threw one hundred fifteen billion dollars at a photonics leader to push optical networking. Optics demand is set to explode as Nvidia builds bigger systems. Revolut proved companies can slash AI bills by hosting their own code.
