Economists Say AI’s Financial Payoff Is Still Concentrated in Big Tech

A new analysis highlighted by Fortune suggests that AI’s economic impact remains heavily concentrated among the largest technology companies, even after years of massive investment and widespread corporate adoption. Apollo chief economist Torsten Slok argues that outside the Magnificent 7, inflation-adjusted revenue per worker and profit margins across the rest of the S&P 500 have remained largely flat, with little evidence of an AI-driven productivity boost. Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius agrees that AI investment has supported U.S. growth, but expects that contribution to peak in late 2026 or early 2027 as capital spending growth slows. Goldman still believes AI will eventually improve productivity and profits across the economy.

Key Takeaways:

• Apollo says the financial benefits of AI remain concentrated in the Magnificent 7, while revenue per worker and profit margins across the rest of the S&P 500 remain largely flat

• Goldman Sachs expects AI’s boost to U.S. economic growth to peak around late 2026 or early 2027 as investment growth begins to slow

• Goldman still expects AI to eventually lift productivity and economy-wide profits, while Apollo is more

Anthropic Could Pay SpaceX Up to $120.5 Billion for AI Compute

Anthropic has agreed to spend as much as $120.5 billion on AI compute from SpaceX through 2029, according to the company’s IPO filing. The deal gives Anthropic access to Nvidia GPU capacity through SpaceX.AI, the subsidiary behind SpaceX’s growing compute business, with contracted capacity expected to be fully delivered by December 2026. At that point, payments could reach roughly $3.1 billion per month, or about $37 billion annually. The full amount is not guaranteed, however, because the agreements include cancellation windows beginning in early 2027. The arrangement is especially notable because Anthropic’s Claude competes directly with SpaceX’s Grok models.

Key Takeaways:

• Anthropic’s agreements with SpaceX could total up to $120.5 billion through 2029, with payments potentially reaching about $3.1 billion per month once full capacity is online

• The contracts are not fully locked in, with both companies able to terminate certain agreements with 90 days’ notice after initial non-cancelable periods end in early 2027

• The deal turns SpaceX into a major compute supplier for Anthropic even though Claude competes directly with Grok, highlighting how valuable GPU capacity has become across the AI industry

💰 SpaceX secured roughly $40 billion in financing for AI chips and data-center hardware, with Apollo buying Nvidia’s next-generation GPUs and leasing them back to SpaceX as the company rapidly expands the compute powering Grok and its cloud business.

📈 Anthropic officially filed to go public under the ticker “ANT”, reporting $16.3 billion in first-half 2026 revenue alongside an $80.7 billion net loss largely driven by noncash accounting adjustments.

⌚ AI wearables are multiplying beyond smartphones, with new pendants, rings, wristbands, and handheld devices promising to record conversations, create reminders, summarize daily life, and act as always-available personal assistants.

🧮 OpenAI and Anthropic say their models may have refuted a major computer-science assumption, producing algorithms that appear to solve certain difficult problems faster than the Exponential Time Hypothesis suggested was possible, though researchers are still evaluating the claims.

🛡️ Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says he no longer believes safer AI will naturally emerge as models become smarter, arguing that alignment is a separate and potentially harder problem that requires stronger external controls, human oversight, and containment systems.
