CHINESE DEV JUST WIRED AN HPE PROLIANT FROM A TRADE SHOW FLOOR AND MADE $340K LAST YEAR WHILE HIS EX-COFOUNDERS BURNED SERIES A ON ANTHROPIC BILLS
Teal HPE ProLiant on a trade show floor. Eight drive bays. Blue SATA cables through the airflow guides.
Build cost $6,000. Power $260/mo. Five clients pay $5,600 each per month.
Pause at 0:04 — the trade show QR code still on the front. Anthropic just billed his ex-team another $28K.
Anthropic bills enterprises $28K/month for GPT-4o access. He runs the same models on an HPE chassis he bought for $6,000. Break-even in 30 days.
HPE just accidentally became Anthropic's biggest competitor. Their sales team doesn't know yet.
