Jensen's Open-Weights Letter | Google Cloud Grows 82% But The Market Tanks
Jensen Huang’s 50-company open-weights letter, signed by Microsoft, Meta, IBM and Sam at OpenAI but not Anthropic, signals that frontier labs now face competition from their own customers.Open weights threaten Nvidia’s CUDA margins while LLM agents create a likely security catalyst, and Google’s negative free cash flow plus upcoming CIO budget ceilings could amplify AI volatility.
Perplexity CEO: Micron Will Be More Valuable Than Meta & How Export Controls Helped Not Hurt China
Harry StebbingsAravind Srinivas
Aravind’s headline call is that Micron could surpass Meta in value within 6-12 months because memory remains the bottleneck after prices rose 5x.His broader thesis shifts value from commoditized search and models to orchestration and token value per watt, while power constraints, China’s vertical integration, and a 20-30% DeepSeek-moment risk remain key watchpoints.
The Early Days of Anthropic & How 21 of 22 VCs Rejected It | The Four Bottlenecks in AI | Anj Midha
Anthropic’s $100M seed was rejected by 21 of 22 investors, while its compute-multiplier thesis eventually supported Amazon’s original $4B compute-for-equity deal.Midha sees supply, stranded GPUs, sovereign infrastructure, and China’s full-stack race as the decisive constraints, with an inference “iron dome” and European compute capacity worth monitoring.
Peter Thiel and Softbank Sell NVIDIA - Why? & Why VC Will Hit $1TRN and The Opening of Retail
Cursor’s valuation depends on AI coding becoming universal infrastructure, with proprietary models, distillation and hardware efficiency potentially lifting margins despite reliance on model suppliers that are also competitors.The key downside is a price war enabled by portable prompts and thin integrations, while illiquid late-stage marks, concentrated AI exposure and uncertain inference utilization could turn a rapid financing cycle into a fast correction.
Groq Founder, Jonathan Ross: OpenAI & Anthropic Will Build Their Own Chips & Will NVIDIA Hit $10TRN
Jonathan Ross says OpenAI, Anthropic and every hyperscaler will build chips for control over their own destiny, while Nvidia could be worth $10 trillion in five years.Doubling inference compute could nearly double their revenue within one month as rate limits suppress engagement, making HBM, energy, Groq’s six-month supply chain and the United States’ 2-3 year away-game window key signals.
