The Need for an Independent AI Grid

AMP, a public benefit corporation, argues that focused, talent-dense independent teams (like Anthropic, Black Forest Labs, ElevenLabs) produce frontier AI breakthroughs most efficiently, but suffer from poor compute utilization—often wasting 30-40% of FLOPs due to unpredictable workloads. The proposed solution is an independent AI grid that pools compute across teams, decoupling innovation scaling (through independence) from compute scaling (through shared infrastructure), thereby maximizing frontier output per unit of scarce physical resources.
