Summary
According to a post on X by @chandlerjward, which reshares a quote, Sam Altman told Samsung executives there has been "some double counting of demand" and that a supply shock and "a period of turbulence" could follow. The post says the quote is secondhand and that it cuts against last edition's record GPU-price read. The post also cites The Information reporting that Fal and Baseten are moving to buy their own chips because they cannot find enough compute. The excerpt mentions @Suhail's team, but that part is cut off.

What happened
A post reshared on the lists quotes Sam Altman telling Samsung executives there has been “some double counting of demand” and that a supply shock and “a period of turbulence” could follow, which cuts against last edition’s record GPU-price read; the quote is secondhand. The Information reports Fal and Baseten are...
Why it matters
Teams that depend on rented GPU capacity could face tighter supply if the warned-of shock arrives, though the Altman quote is unconfirmed here. Inference startups buying their own chips would suggest that some companies see securing compute from providers as hard. Watch for direct confirmation of the quote and the full reporting on Fal and Baseten.
