20VC: Why 'Pacing the Frontier' Is BS; Instinct $10BN, Miro $1.35BN

Harry Stebbings

Instinct’s $1B raise at a $10B valuation pairs minute-long latency with compute costs: 10M users paying $10 monthly imply a $1.2B annual burden.Jason’s reversal—from recommending the round to refusing it—alongside Miro’s $1.3B sale from $17.5B and Canva’s slowdown from 30% to 20%, highlights SaaS’s shift from revenue multiples to EBITDA.

Brad Gerstner: No AI Bubble, Semis Eat the Nasdaq & AI's Take Off Problem

Brad Gerstner

Gerstner argues the rally is earnings-driven, even as semiconductor concentration accounts for 70% of Nasdaq’s return.The AI buildout still depends on lab revenue scaling, while rates, power constraints, regulation and a delayed Anthropic IPO remain key risks.

AI 產業挖掘機:美股有望再創新高,日韓縮量難跟上

Mr. ZAI 產業挖掘機

标普500成分股EPS约30%的增长支撑美股创新高,但日韩港股仍受成交量塌缩和资金通道关闭拖累。前沿模型凭借最佳模型与产品维持议价权,OpenAI关闭200美元套餐;推理margin约80%,开源部署强化云的经济性。FOMC落地后的反弹窗口或在九月下旬至十月,但Anthropic十月底IPO、通胀、欧债与AI capex争夺资金仍需监测。

Ep. 031 - EMERGENCY EPISODE: Are We Doomed? | Jordan Nanos, Doug O'Laughlin, Max Kan, Joey Brookhart

Jordan NanosDoug O'LaughlinMax KanJoey Brookhart

“Pacing” would slow Anthropic’s capability progress without halting training or compute purchases, potentially weakening its strongest internal model.Near-term scarcity and safety workloads keep compute demand elevated, while semiconductor signals increasingly depend on frontier-lab ARR and capacity premiums.Bank hacks, data leaks, or AI-assisted biological attacks could accelerate regulation.

市场概述2026年9月15日

Shanghao Jin

联储周三加息概率已升至94%,Jin称其是面对供应冲击的“credibility hike”,而非通胀失控;市场却已定价3.5至4次,远超Fed dot约一次。工资增速3.1%、consumer credit仅2.6%未显示螺旋,估值和credit spread也未现恐慌;加息若仅符合预期,市场仍偏谨慎乐观,但供应冲击与AI监管是风险。

Baylor CIO Morehead: velocity of cashback is what LPs actually want

Harry StebbingsDavid Morehead

David Morehead argues that fund multiples need a timeline: three six-year 3X growth-equity funds can compound to 27X versus 15X over 15–18 years.Baylor treats growth equity as its return engine, VC as diversification, and uses 10% market-decline increments while pricing cash at 8.5%.Software’s 50–60% selloff and permitted powered land offer differentiated opportunities, but permitting constraints and the unresolved AI adoption question remain key watchpoints.

Hunter Biden’s Crypto Launch Was a Disaster

AnsemFaZe Banks

Hunter Biden’s token launch turned social-token potential into an insider-extraction event, briefly reaching an estimated $100 billion FDV as later buyers absorbed the risk.Better distribution—supporter allocations, gradual unlocks and sustained issuer commitment—could determine whether social tokens create durable value beyond celebrity “quick bread.”Ansem still sees an early-bull-market opportunity, but oil, Iran tensions and roughly 50/50 FOMC rate-hike odds could trigger another near-term leg lower.

Why Investors Are Rethinking Everything for the AI Era

Jen KhaDavid GeorgeAram Verdiyan

AI is making capital itself compound advantage, pushing venture’s power law beyond prior tech cycles as compute improves products and inference demand remains unlimited.Only 20 of 3,000 US VC firms produced consistent 3x net returns over two decades, supporting concentrated LP portfolios and 5–10%+ late-stage sizing in category-defining companies.Meanwhile, traction is harder to parse and pre-ChatGPT software LBOs face repricing, leaving diffusion, liquidity, and power access as key risks and catalysts.

20VC: Jensen's AGI Call, Astra & Fable 5.1, Cybercabs, Descartes Exit

Harry Stebbings

Jensen Huang’s AGI claim meets Rory O’Driscoll’s skepticism, while Fable 5.1 delivers Jason Lemkin’s first step-function coding experience since last year’s “three dot” models.Instinct’s quickly cloned WhatsApp distribution, $2.5B pre-revenue valuation, Wonderful’s $5B repricing, and Anthropic’s reported roughly $6B deal reversal expose a market where rule-breaking and capital access remain central.
