Neil Movva - Making AI 10x Cheaper - [Invest Like the Best, EP.488]
Patrick O'ShaughnessyNeil Movva
Sola Research is repositioning inference around long-running background agents, forecasting workloads shift from 50/50 background and real-time by year-end to 90/10 long term as cheaper tokens unlock unbounded demand.By trading latency for throughput, using overlooked chips and 1MW sites with 95% uptime, Movva targets radically lower costs, while KV-cache waste, idle GPUs, HBM supply, and the durability of frontier labs’ three-to-six-month premium remain key watchpoints.
Ben Thompson on Big Tech, China, and the AI Boom Running Out of Money - [Invest Like the Best, EP.487]
Patrick O'ShaughnessyBen Thompson
AI’s near-term bottleneck may be capital rather than compute or power, as funding shifts from free cash flow and debt toward Google equity and NVIDIA’s $500 billion vehicle.Thompson’s Berkshire analogy makes Search a possible funding engine for AI’s “basically all white-collar work” TAM, while payback periods, hyperscaler chips, and an air-gap risk remain watchpoints as 2028-29 capacity arrives.
Everyone Is Still Undersizing the AI Market | Eric Vishria
Patrick O'ShaughnessyEric Vishria
AI is likely to produce an oligopoly plus $100B specialists, not a single winner-take-all lab, while Fireworks shows inference’s hidden moat: roughly 5X speed and multiple-X throughput on the same models and NVIDIA hardware.SaaS incumbents now face “Get to AI or be worth three times revenue,” as migration becomes easier and cost, iteration speed, and transportability matter more, with energy—especially China’s roughly tenfold buildout next year—the key constraint.
