1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:04,170
Josh:
The question on everyone's minds, should you buy the SpaceX IPO?

2
00:00:04,410 --> 00:00:07,770
Josh:
By the time you are hearing this, chances are SpaceX is about to go public or

3
00:00:07,770 --> 00:00:13,140
Josh:
they have just gone public at what is going to be the largest IPO in history.

4
00:00:13,470 --> 00:00:16,730
Josh:
And it's not even close. I think we have very strong takes and opinions on where

5
00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:19,070
Josh:
SpaceX goes. I find the question that everyone is asking me is,

6
00:00:19,250 --> 00:00:20,880
Josh:
should I buy? Is this overvalued?

7
00:00:21,150 --> 00:00:25,380
Josh:
It's going to be trading, I mean, right now, close to $2.1 trillion beforehand.

8
00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:27,300
Josh:
That's an outrageous valuation.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,410
Josh:
And I feel very confident that we have some pretty good takes that are going

10
00:00:30,410 --> 00:00:31,510
Josh:
to point in the direction of

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,900
Josh:
actually yeah not only is it a good buy in fact it's undervalued and a lot of

12
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:41,100
Josh:
the news that we got this week from the s1 from the new spacex releases backs

13
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:45,250
Josh:
that up so there's a lot of really strong prevailing wins pushing spacex forward

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,930
Josh:
and we are going to now address the question should you buy spacex shares should

15
00:00:49,930 --> 00:00:53,280
Josh:
you get invested in the ipo and more importantly why.

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,640
Ejaaz:
Yes, the answer is yes. But before

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,760
Ejaaz:
we get into it, let's talk about the numbers of the IPO very quickly.

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,070
Ejaaz:
So they're raising $75 billion, which is three times larger than the largest

19
00:01:07,070 --> 00:01:11,300
Ejaaz:
IPO that has happened so far. That was from Saudi Aramco back in 2019,

20
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:13,640
Ejaaz:
and they raised just under $30 billion.

21
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:19,140
Ejaaz:
This is roughly around 3x that, but the demand for the $75 billion raise is

22
00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:21,160
Ejaaz:
already 4x, as you're seeing on the screen.

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,120
Ejaaz:
There's over $250 billion worth of demand with one institution or a couple of

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,480
Ejaaz:
multiple institutions offering up $10 billion chunks just to get involved here.

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,650
Ejaaz:
Now, if you're looking at like the price per share, roughly,

26
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:38,240
Ejaaz:
SpaceX's S1 prospectus has put it at around $135 a share.

27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,690
Ejaaz:
Now, what's interesting about this is typically with an IPO prospectus,

28
00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:45,800
Ejaaz:
you provide a range, you provide a range and you try and find where the match is.

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,300
Ejaaz:
SpaceX just went right to the high end of that

30
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:48,700
Josh:
Range and said it's.

31
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,070
Ejaaz:
$135 per share, which values it at $1.75 trillion.

32
00:01:55,340 --> 00:01:59,300
Ejaaz:
But recent reports from Financial Times and Bloomberg says that this number

33
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:07,500
Ejaaz:
is actually now close to $162 per share, which gives them a crazy $2.1 billion valuation.

34
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:10,790
Ejaaz:
Now, the demand for this thing, Josh, is absolutely insane.

35
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:15,580
Ejaaz:
They reserved, I think it was around 30% of the share allocation that they're

36
00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:18,980
Ejaaz:
IPOing with for the retail, for the regular average person. And then that was

37
00:02:19,220 --> 00:02:22,280
Ejaaz:
distributed to the likes of financial institutions and banks like Charles Schwab,

38
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,570
Ejaaz:
as well as brokers such as Robin Hood and

39
00:02:26,170 --> 00:02:28,550
Ejaaz:
The demand initially required you to have like something crazy,

40
00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:32,000
Ejaaz:
like half a million dollars in your bank account in some cases to get access to this thing.

41
00:02:32,290 --> 00:02:36,060
Ejaaz:
But they reduced that kind of like limit. But it is the most in-demand thing.

42
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:40,870
Ejaaz:
SpaceX is the most in-demand company in general, like whether it's just to buy

43
00:02:40,870 --> 00:02:44,330
Ejaaz:
the IPO or whether it's just to like work there. It is a crazy scene that we

44
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:46,510
Ejaaz:
haven't seen before. Largest IPO raise ever.

45
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,230
Josh:
Yes. And it is also by far the most accessible IPO ever. We mentioned this in

46
00:02:50,230 --> 00:02:54,630
Josh:
a previous episode, but 30% of the entire share float is being made available

47
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:56,640
Josh:
for the public, for retail, as a part of this IPO.

48
00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:00,480
Josh:
This is three to five times more than the average, and that means that a lot

49
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,260
Josh:
of people are able to participate. So there's a chance if you're watching this,

50
00:03:03,260 --> 00:03:07,590
Josh:
you've actually been allocated IPO shares of SpaceX at the listing price.

51
00:03:07,590 --> 00:03:08,680
Josh:
You don't have to pay that premium.

52
00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:11,700
Josh:
We're going to see the market making happen today as you're watching this to

53
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:12,880
Josh:
see what it's actually going to launch at.

54
00:03:13,170 --> 00:03:14,510
Josh:
But I suspect a lot of people watching

55
00:03:14,510 --> 00:03:17,550
Josh:
this episode are actually already shareholders and owners of SpaceX.

56
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:20,400
Josh:
And that's such a cool thing that everyone is able to participate.

57
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,750
Josh:
Now, in terms of the valuations of SpaceX, why we believe this is undervalued,

58
00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:29,140
Josh:
why we believe SpaceX is going to be such a remarkable company, there's a few pillars.

59
00:03:29,450 --> 00:03:33,220
Josh:
The first is Starlink. It is internet and space from the sky.

60
00:03:33,790 --> 00:03:38,560
Josh:
The second is manufacturing, their ability to manufacture Starship and get payload

61
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,370
Josh:
to orbit at a very low cost per kilogram.

62
00:03:40,570 --> 00:03:43,490
Josh:
And the third, which is one that I really want to talk about right now,

63
00:03:43,490 --> 00:03:45,670
Josh:
is AI data centers in space.

64
00:03:45,980 --> 00:03:48,780
Josh:
We've talked about this a lot. what does this look like? How does it work?

65
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:52,250
Josh:
Well, earlier this week, we finally got an answer, and it comes in the form

66
00:03:52,250 --> 00:03:54,390
Josh:
of a satellite named AI-1.

67
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Josh:
AI-1 is the satellite that SpaceX is going to park on Starship,

68
00:04:00,110 --> 00:04:03,870
Josh:
send into orbit and actually put these things into space. And they're going

69
00:04:03,870 --> 00:04:06,760
Josh:
to be training data centers. They're going to be beaming data back down to earth.

70
00:04:07,050 --> 00:04:10,060
Josh:
And now we finally have a rendering and we have some specs on what it's going to look like.

71
00:04:10,370 --> 00:04:16,060
Josh:
In terms of power, there is 150 kilowatt peak with 120 kilowatt average on each

72
00:04:16,060 --> 00:04:17,560
Josh:
one of these satellites for reference.

73
00:04:17,850 --> 00:04:21,730
Josh:
That's about 100 American homes worth of power per satellite.

74
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:26,710
Josh:
And then we're getting about 70 kilowatts per ton. So that's the efficiency

75
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:28,100
Josh:
part of the launch metrics where,

76
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:34,150
Josh:
The more energy we can get per ton, the cheaper it costs. It's lowering those costs.

77
00:04:34,510 --> 00:04:38,080
Josh:
We have compute slots that are interchangeable. And I think this is a really

78
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,720
Josh:
underrated part is the GPU modules that you're seeing on the screen on the animation

79
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,560
Josh:
we were just showing, they're actually hot swappable.

80
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:49,240
Josh:
So you could have NVIDIA chips, you can have Google chips, you could have Amazon chips there.

81
00:04:49,370 --> 00:04:52,590
Josh:
What they're going to test this with initially is going to be NVIDIA's Vera

82
00:04:52,590 --> 00:04:55,330
Josh:
Rubin platform. That's going to be on version one of these things.

83
00:04:55,630 --> 00:04:59,620
Josh:
And in terms of the radiator because clearly no one believes that spacex is

84
00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:02,680
Josh:
capable of figuring out thermodynamics in space given the fact that they have

85
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,830
Josh:
how many thousands of satellites currently operating in there well they figured

86
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:08,590
Josh:
it out they said they're going to have 110 square,

87
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,920
Josh:
meter liquid radiator and basically it's just gigantic sails that we're seeing on screen right now,

88
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,730
Josh:
to dissipate the heat into deep space deep space is a huge place even if you're

89
00:05:19,730 --> 00:05:23,390
Josh:
in low earth orbits geosynchronous orbit and the wingspan of those will extend

90
00:05:23,390 --> 00:05:26,980
Josh:
to about 70 meters wide which is wider than a Boeing 747.

91
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:31,100
Josh:
So this is AI data centers in space. When we say that, this is what it looks like.

92
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:33,760
Josh:
This is how it's going to function. It's a really big deal.

93
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,860
Ejaaz:
I want to shine a bit more light on this satellite because previously,

94
00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:41,560
Ejaaz:
like Elon has just made bold claims saying that, you know, the valuation that

95
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Ejaaz:
we're raising SpaceX at now at a $2.1 trillion valuation is primarily based

96
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,490
Ejaaz:
on AI data centers in space.

97
00:05:47,740 --> 00:05:50,950
Ejaaz:
And then they kind of signed a few deals recently with Google and Anthropik

98
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:53,220
Ejaaz:
saying, yeah, they're going to be buying these data centers in space,

99
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:56,500
Ejaaz:
but we still didn't know how. Now we have the answer and we have a bunch of

100
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:00,790
Ejaaz:
the numbers and how it's built. Now, to be clear, what does this satellite look like?

101
00:06:01,190 --> 00:06:05,980
Ejaaz:
Picture a refrigerator that you have at home with 70 meter wings.

102
00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:09,190
Ejaaz:
This thing is 95% wing, basically.

103
00:06:09,530 --> 00:06:13,820
Ejaaz:
And that refrigerator is essentially a GPU server rack.

104
00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:20,160
Ejaaz:
It stores around 72 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs. And the total compute power that it has

105
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:25,140
Ejaaz:
is around 150 kilowatts. Now, immediately after announcing the satellite,

106
00:06:25,810 --> 00:06:31,860
Ejaaz:
Elon also stated that he's filed to launch 1 million of these data center racks,

107
00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:35,030
Ejaaz:
these satellites, these AR-1 satellites into space.

108
00:06:35,250 --> 00:06:39,390
Ejaaz:
If he is able to pull that off, the total compute power that will be orbiting

109
00:06:39,390 --> 00:06:41,900
Ejaaz:
in space will be around 120 gigawatts.

110
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:47,260
Ejaaz:
That's around 3 to 4x of the total data centers that currently exist on the

111
00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:49,530
Ejaaz:
entire surface of Earth right now.

112
00:06:49,530 --> 00:06:53,240
Ejaaz:
So that is a hell of a lot of compute, but more so currently there's around

113
00:06:53,240 --> 00:07:00,330
Ejaaz:
14,000 satellites in total existence across every single other company in low orbit space right now.

114
00:07:00,530 --> 00:07:04,930
Ejaaz:
So Elon is like aiming for like multiples more of that for this particular satellite.

115
00:07:04,930 --> 00:07:07,440
Ejaaz:
Now, the wingspan is really important. You must be thinking like,

116
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,300
Ejaaz:
you know, 70 meters is absolutely ridiculous.

117
00:07:09,530 --> 00:07:12,930
Ejaaz:
Radiation, you need to disperse the heat. It's kind of like hard to do that

118
00:07:12,930 --> 00:07:15,180
Ejaaz:
in space. In fact, it's impossible to do that in space. So you need some kind

119
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:19,960
Ejaaz:
of like really ingenious cooling mechanisms. That's what that wingspan is for.

120
00:07:20,250 --> 00:07:21,980
Ejaaz:
Yes, it is large, but also

121
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:25,150
Ejaaz:
You're in space. You have all of that space to be able to do that.

122
00:07:25,380 --> 00:07:28,810
Ejaaz:
And the way that these satellites are designed is different to the ground data

123
00:07:28,810 --> 00:07:31,460
Ejaaz:
centers in the sense that they're going to be beaming lasers between each other

124
00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:35,490
Ejaaz:
to form an interconnected grid that they can transfer data between each other.

125
00:07:35,490 --> 00:07:39,760
Ejaaz:
And that is the sole mechanism that is required to train and inference models,

126
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,570
Ejaaz:
which is the entire point around SpaceX.

127
00:07:41,570 --> 00:07:44,660
Ejaaz:
Now, it's important to understand when you're looking at the valuation,

128
00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:46,970
Ejaaz:
when you're looking at the price, you might be thinking, well,

129
00:07:46,970 --> 00:07:49,430
Ejaaz:
I don't know if this is overvalued.

130
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:52,210
Ejaaz:
It kind of seems like overvalued, even though I like what Elon is doing,

131
00:07:52,490 --> 00:07:56,610
Ejaaz:
you have to understand that the whole premise is you're getting three companies

132
00:07:56,770 --> 00:08:00,730
Ejaaz:
for one share. It's SpaceX, yes, to be the kind of like highway to space.

133
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,220
Ejaaz:
But then you have like the payloads, which is like all these GPUs that they're

134
00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:08,310
Ejaaz:
going to be training on the sun's energy, becoming a Kardashev type one civilization,

135
00:08:08,310 --> 00:08:09,740
Ejaaz:
which all sounds grand, but like

136
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:12,110
Ejaaz:
we now have the numbers and the mechanism to be able to pull that off.

137
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:15,680
Ejaaz:
And then you have the model itself under XAI. And then you have the distribution

138
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,460
Ejaaz:
through social media platform, through app stores and all that kind of stuff.

139
00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:23,630
Ejaaz:
And it's not like Elon is depending primarily on his own companies to service

140
00:08:23,630 --> 00:08:25,340
Ejaaz:
all this demand for Grok entirely.

141
00:08:25,610 --> 00:08:29,350
Ejaaz:
He's signed major deals in the last, I think, three weeks with Anthropic,

142
00:08:29,530 --> 00:08:33,370
Ejaaz:
Google, and Cursor, which equates to around $56 billion per year.

143
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,310
Ejaaz:
So the previous critics were like, I don't know if SpaceX is going to be profitable in general.

144
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:41,590
Ejaaz:
Now we have the answer, like all this money that's been coming from essentially

145
00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:46,250
Ejaaz:
neocloud payments for Elon's existing colossus one two and three data centers

146
00:08:46,250 --> 00:08:49,290
Ejaaz:
on earth is paying for itself it's paying for this entire expedition

147
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,800
Josh:
Oh it's an absolute monster of a company and now i want to talk about a second

148
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,350
Josh:
pillar because we've seen ai1 what that looks like what data centers in space

149
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:59,660
Josh:
look like we also have visual graphics of

150
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:02,110
Josh:
the new startling satellites and we've been talking about these new startling

151
00:09:02,110 --> 00:09:05,450
Josh:
satellites for a long time now version two and most recently version three which

152
00:09:05,450 --> 00:09:07,760
Josh:
is going up on starship and the

153
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:12,270
Josh:
stats and analytics between these two comparing them is pretty remarkable the

154
00:09:12,390 --> 00:09:18,270
Josh:
the first generation of this, version 1.5 of Starlink, had 24 gigabits per second download, which,

155
00:09:18,830 --> 00:09:22,520
Josh:
pretty small. If we look at version two of the satellites, which are what's

156
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,630
Josh:
available today, that's what's going up in the Falcon 9 rockets,

157
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:29,320
Josh:
the smaller ones, those have about 96 gigabytes per second, and they're able

158
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,470
Josh:
to deploy about 27 of those per launch.

159
00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:37,500
Josh:
So that gives you about a total per launch of 2,600 gigabits per second.

160
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,110
Josh:
Now, when you look at version three satellites of Starlink, that's where the

161
00:09:42,110 --> 00:09:43,120
Josh:
numbers get pretty silly.

162
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:49,070
Josh:
It's a 20 times multiple per launch on bandwidth relative to version two this

163
00:09:49,070 --> 00:09:51,350
Josh:
is enabled with starship we talk about starship all the time.

164
00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:54,780
Josh:
They've been doing really successful test runs they're going to continue that

165
00:09:54,780 --> 00:09:58,150
Josh:
program once it starts becoming reusable they're going to put these satellites on it

166
00:09:58,470 --> 00:10:03,480
Josh:
and it's going to deliver 61 000 gigabits per second to the internet that is

167
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,200
Josh:
60 satellites that is a 20x multiple that is how you get to a true worldwide

168
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,050
Josh:
web that exists in space and when you think about what spacex is doing here

169
00:10:11,390 --> 00:10:15,490
Josh:
they're creating a high bandwidth clone of the internet that exists here except

170
00:10:15,490 --> 00:10:17,600
Josh:
in space What happens with the internet here?

171
00:10:17,870 --> 00:10:22,600
Josh:
We actually run wires underground through the oceans to connect the world.

172
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,450
Josh:
If we have satellites, you remove a lot of the threat vectors,

173
00:10:26,450 --> 00:10:31,180
Josh:
you remove a lot of the sensorability, you create this truly open and accessible

174
00:10:31,180 --> 00:10:33,750
Josh:
network that's not only available to anyone with infrastructure,

175
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:35,930
Josh:
but available to anyone with access to the sky.

176
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,010
Josh:
And building that and making that available to everyone is such a remarkable

177
00:10:41,010 --> 00:10:44,130
Josh:
business. And we've seen that reflected in the Starlink subscriber numbers.

178
00:10:44,380 --> 00:10:46,360
Josh:
We have a chart here that shows the Starlink growth.

179
00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:50,960
Josh:
And it has been the most perfect exponential chart I think I've probably ever

180
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,300
Josh:
seen in my life. And it is the Starlink subscriber growth.

181
00:10:54,570 --> 00:10:57,960
Josh:
As of when is this? May 23rd.

182
00:10:58,220 --> 00:11:02,520
Josh:
It is now sitting at 12 million users. And you could see they've been adding

183
00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:06,100
Josh:
an exponential increment. I mean, the latest 2 million users were added only

184
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:09,550
Josh:
in the last 81 days. They're averaging 25,000 and climbing.

185
00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:13,890
Josh:
So Elon and the Starlink team, they just recently revealed on an interview that

186
00:11:13,890 --> 00:11:17,430
Josh:
they published a few days ago, the new version of these Starlink terminals,

187
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,060
Josh:
which are even smaller, even higher bandwidth, even more accessible in terms of price.

188
00:11:22,350 --> 00:11:25,470
Josh:
And it's just this unbelievable service that it's going to be a no brainer not

189
00:11:25,470 --> 00:11:29,440
Josh:
to have. If you ever require Internet anywhere that doesn't need fiber optics,

190
00:11:29,710 --> 00:11:32,210
Josh:
you should be a Starlink subscriber. And that's what we're seeing in the growth.

191
00:11:32,210 --> 00:11:34,200
Josh:
So it's really it's an unbelievable company.

192
00:11:34,390 --> 00:11:38,050
Josh:
Starlink is one of those pillars that's just like it's it's crazy what they're

193
00:11:38,050 --> 00:11:40,040
Josh:
doing and no one else can come close to this we

194
00:11:40,420 --> 00:11:43,580
Josh:
we have blue origin which huge fan of i really hope they figure it out but their

195
00:11:43,580 --> 00:11:47,060
Josh:
rocket just exploded on the launch pad last week and their whole program set

196
00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:48,450
Josh:
back and they're the only ones that were close

197
00:11:48,780 --> 00:11:52,100
Josh:
even if everything at blue origin worked as perfectly as they hoped for they're

198
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:56,920
Josh:
still five years behind at minimum probably 10 this is a full decade lead they

199
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,990
Josh:
have so there's essentially a monopoly on space that spacex owns

200
00:12:00,370 --> 00:12:04,440
Josh:
and as it becomes more on demand to send mass to orbit, there's only one company

201
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,450
Josh:
that can do it. And they can do it damn well.

202
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:10,680
Ejaaz:
So this might be a crazy take, but Elon's superpower

203
00:12:11,190 --> 00:12:14,790
Ejaaz:
actually it's not a crazy day this is obvious is scaling hardware from zero

204
00:12:14,790 --> 00:12:18,890
Ejaaz:
to one better than anyone else on the entire world he's done it with electric

205
00:12:18,890 --> 00:12:22,530
Ejaaz:
cars he's doing it with robots and now he's doing it with space rockets now

206
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:25,750
Ejaaz:
there's another advantage that he has which translates directly from that

207
00:12:26,270 --> 00:12:30,980
Ejaaz:
Starlink right so you just mentioned that um you can repurpose starlink's production

208
00:12:30,980 --> 00:12:37,150
Ejaaz:
lines to make this new ai1 satellites in fact arguably it's easier see with

209
00:12:37,150 --> 00:12:39,960
Ejaaz:
when you're creating these SOLID-X satellites, they have this phased

210
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,930
Ejaaz:
Array antenna, which basically is meant to speak to the dishes that are on Earth

211
00:12:44,930 --> 00:12:47,930
Ejaaz:
to communicate and beam this internet back down to Earth.

212
00:12:48,220 --> 00:12:51,970
Ejaaz:
That is a really tricky thing to produce, but a satellite itself is fairly easy.

213
00:12:51,970 --> 00:12:55,500
Ejaaz:
Now, with the AI-1 satellite, it doesn't need this phased array antenna.

214
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:59,530
Ejaaz:
In fact, you just need the laser projections to be able to communicate and talk

215
00:12:59,530 --> 00:13:01,710
Ejaaz:
with each other. I mentioned it earlier, like transferring data,

216
00:13:01,930 --> 00:13:05,850
Ejaaz:
training your model, inferencing the model, that is arguably easier to do.

217
00:13:05,850 --> 00:13:09,900
Ejaaz:
And so Elon already is not starting from scratch here. Normally, he does zero to one.

218
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,550
Ejaaz:
He's kind of starting from 0.5 to one to be able to pull this off.

219
00:13:13,550 --> 00:13:18,410
Ejaaz:
Now, in terms of timelines, I think he's aiming for the end of 2027 to have

220
00:13:18,410 --> 00:13:23,160
Ejaaz:
a full gigawatt worth of these AI-1 satellites out in space.

221
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,930
Ejaaz:
So this is a very real thing. The timelines are, in my opinion,

222
00:13:26,170 --> 00:13:27,450
Ejaaz:
much shorter than we think.

223
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:31,370
Ejaaz:
And he already has some of the world's leading AI labs committed,

224
00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:37,000
Ejaaz:
at least in theory on paper and contractually, to pay and purchase access to

225
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Ejaaz:
these things. Like you mentioned earlier, these AI-1 satellites are GPU interchangeable.

226
00:13:41,510 --> 00:13:44,850
Ejaaz:
It's not just built for NVIDIA, although that's the primary kind of case right now.

227
00:13:45,090 --> 00:13:47,670
Ejaaz:
You can fit TPUs, you can fit Amazon Tranium in the future.

228
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,930
Ejaaz:
He's meant to be the tall man, the transporter for all these GPUs to be put

229
00:13:51,930 --> 00:13:55,950
Ejaaz:
out there to kind of absorb all of that sun's energy and train whatever model.

230
00:13:55,950 --> 00:13:58,930
Ejaaz:
He's kind of like agnostic when it comes to that. And I think That is one of

231
00:13:58,930 --> 00:14:01,330
Ejaaz:
the biggest bull cases for SpaceX as I see it today.

232
00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:04,360
Josh:
Yeah, think about how difficult it has been to build a data center.

233
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,550
Josh:
You need the, what is it, land power shell in order to get a data center set up.

234
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:13,280
Josh:
And it is so remarkably difficult to get the approvals, to get the public sentiment

235
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,830
Josh:
to turn positive, to figure out where to source the energy from.

236
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,490
Josh:
It is this incredibly complicated process that's difficult and no one wants to deal with.

237
00:14:19,770 --> 00:14:23,890
Josh:
And if you could just go over to Elon and say, yo, bro, I got a couple gigawatts

238
00:14:23,890 --> 00:14:26,280
Josh:
that I need in orbit. Can you send them for me in the next few months?

239
00:14:26,540 --> 00:14:31,330
Josh:
That is such an easy outcome and one that i think everyone will want to to use

240
00:14:31,330 --> 00:14:32,550
Josh:
because why wouldn't you and

241
00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:35,750
Josh:
i want to circle back to the ipo and why i said earlier in the show that

242
00:14:36,130 --> 00:14:39,330
Josh:
a spacex should be the most valuable company in the world we we barely even

243
00:14:39,330 --> 00:14:42,930
Josh:
talked about xai and we barely even talked about the other entities that exist

244
00:14:42,930 --> 00:14:47,880
Josh:
underneath it but the idea is that as as ai continues to expand and continues to take up

245
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,570
Josh:
more of what we do on a day-to-day basis it's very much accelerating in that

246
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:52,760
Josh:
world of bits that we talk about

247
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,470
Josh:
a lot it's able to do ones and zeros very effectively and very efficiently

248
00:14:56,850 --> 00:15:00,520
Josh:
the difficult thing now the bottleneck shifts to the physical world this world

249
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,020
Josh:
of atoms where you have to actually build things you have to create the physical manifestation of.

250
00:15:05,490 --> 00:15:10,090
Josh:
This ai to to allow it to be embodied or to give it enough energy and resources

251
00:15:10,090 --> 00:15:13,680
Josh:
to train itself to become this agi the super intelligence and when it comes

252
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,210
Josh:
to manufacturing when it comes to real world engineering

253
00:15:16,530 --> 00:15:20,380
Josh:
there is really no better team in the world than spacex in terms of hardware

254
00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:23,080
Josh:
engineering and when i look at other engineering teams who are really good at

255
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,010
Josh:
creating physical objects in the real world manufacturing factories which are

256
00:15:27,010 --> 00:15:30,070
Josh:
actually the product and the factories produce these goods and services but

257
00:15:30,070 --> 00:15:31,320
Josh:
building the factory is the hard part

258
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,890
Josh:
i also look at tesla and tesla has done a remarkable job at building and manufacturing

259
00:15:35,890 --> 00:15:40,250
Josh:
these objects at scale and what is tesla now working on they cut down their model s and their x line.

260
00:15:40,890 --> 00:15:45,110
Josh:
In exchange for Optimus, the humanoid robot, that humanoid robot is going to scale very quickly.

261
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,210
Josh:
That humanoid robot paired with Grok and XAI as the orchestrator is going to

262
00:15:49,210 --> 00:15:53,040
Josh:
build this like very autonomous capability of actually physically manufacturing

263
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:53,770
Josh:
things in the real world.

264
00:15:54,050 --> 00:15:56,690
Josh:
SpaceX and Tesla are probably going to merge together.

265
00:15:57,250 --> 00:16:00,330
Josh:
In the case that those two companies come together, there is no instance in

266
00:16:00,330 --> 00:16:04,730
Josh:
which they do not become the most valuable company in the world so long as they deliver on the promise.

267
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,420
Josh:
And I think the way you look at these companies, the way you validate these

268
00:16:07,420 --> 00:16:09,930
Josh:
companies is you kind of like look at the roadmap and you say,

269
00:16:09,930 --> 00:16:13,730
Josh:
are the products and services that they offer in the future going to be significantly

270
00:16:13,730 --> 00:16:14,890
Josh:
better than they are today?

271
00:16:14,890 --> 00:16:18,130
Josh:
And if the answer is yes, then the idea is that the company should be significantly

272
00:16:18,130 --> 00:16:21,520
Josh:
more valuable to match the added value that they're going to increase.

273
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,920
Josh:
I very strongly feel that way. We have Starship. We have Optimus, the humanoid robots.

274
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,970
Josh:
If just those two things work and nothing else works, the amount of value that

275
00:16:29,970 --> 00:16:34,060
Josh:
will be unlocked is unimaginable. It's really hard to fathom how large these

276
00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:37,870
Josh:
companies can get. And we have this perceived limit of what a market cap of a company can be.

277
00:16:38,350 --> 00:16:41,990
Josh:
NVIDIA is close to $6 trillion or something. But to imagine a company reaching

278
00:16:41,990 --> 00:16:45,760
Josh:
$10, $20 trillion, $30 trillion doesn't seem unreasonable when you think about

279
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,860
Josh:
the scope and scale of a company like Tesla, of a company like SpaceX merged

280
00:16:50,860 --> 00:16:53,170
Josh:
together under the rule of Elon Musk.

281
00:16:53,170 --> 00:16:56,440
Josh:
It's just this unbelievable opportunity that finally the public has access to.

282
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,910
Josh:
And that's why I am particularly excited to invest in the SpaceX IPO.

283
00:17:00,730 --> 00:17:06,390
Ejaaz:
I think for the longest time, the SpaceX IPO has been based on a lot of visionary

284
00:17:06,850 --> 00:17:11,330
Ejaaz:
ideas, kind of belief and this undying faith in Elon.

285
00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:16,080
Ejaaz:
But I do want to touch more on like what the potential numbers might look like

286
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,170
Ejaaz:
to make that multi-trillion dollar valuation that you're talking about,

287
00:17:19,170 --> 00:17:20,730
Ejaaz:
Josh, an actual reality.

288
00:17:20,730 --> 00:17:23,820
Ejaaz:
So there's two kind of perspectives I want to share here.

289
00:17:23,820 --> 00:17:26,720
Ejaaz:
So number one, Hamid over here

290
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,120
Ejaaz:
shared his breakdown of what each of these satellites basically equate to.

291
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:34,220
Ejaaz:
So if you launch one of these AI-1 satellites out into space right now,

292
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:39,670
Ejaaz:
today, it's the equivalent of basically half a rack of GPUs that you currently

293
00:17:39,670 --> 00:17:45,120
Ejaaz:
find in a data center here on Earth. So it's around 120 to 150 kilowatts, it's around half a rack.

294
00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:50,140
Ejaaz:
Now, today's data centers, let's say it's worth like one gigawatts worth of compute.

295
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,080
Ejaaz:
That's the equivalent of 4,000 racks at around 250 kilowatts.

296
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,620
Ejaaz:
So you would need to launch 8,000 of these AI-1 satellites into space to be

297
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:03,510
Ejaaz:
able to equate to one data center, one gigawatts worth of compute.

298
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:08,150
Ejaaz:
And Elon is targeting that by the end of 2027, which is a lot sooner than most...

299
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:13,240
Ejaaz:
People would have expected. Now, there's a lot of costs that go in this.

300
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,380
Ejaaz:
The average launch costs, actually, you know, if you're being kind of like medium

301
00:18:17,380 --> 00:18:21,170
Ejaaz:
to kind of like conservative is around $10 billion just for like the launch

302
00:18:21,170 --> 00:18:22,390
Ejaaz:
costs and not the materials at all.

303
00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:26,570
Ejaaz:
Now, Elon's whole idea is that he's going to bring these launch costs down pretty

304
00:18:26,570 --> 00:18:28,270
Ejaaz:
dramatically over the next three years.

305
00:18:28,610 --> 00:18:33,330
Ejaaz:
And at three years in, he's saying that it'll be more cost effective than building

306
00:18:33,330 --> 00:18:35,400
Ejaaz:
a data center here on Earth.

307
00:18:35,650 --> 00:18:39,150
Ejaaz:
And so if we do napkin math with that in mind, right, three years from now,

308
00:18:39,150 --> 00:18:42,630
Ejaaz:
or maybe less than three years from now, a Vera Rubin rack right now,

309
00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:46,240
Ejaaz:
which is like NVIDIA's latest GPUs that they're rolling out,

310
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,920
Ejaaz:
is worth around $8 million.

311
00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:53,100
Ejaaz:
Now, if you couple that with the launch costs at around 200k launch cost per

312
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:57,380
Ejaaz:
rocket, which is what Elon's aiming for, we are going to hit at around $10 million

313
00:18:57,380 --> 00:19:00,020
Ejaaz:
to put a single Vera Rubin rack out in space.

314
00:19:00,020 --> 00:19:03,860
Ejaaz:
So $12 million on the ground, $10 million in space.

315
00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:07,660
Ejaaz:
You can see a world where the cost economics end up becoming favorable,

316
00:19:07,660 --> 00:19:11,140
Ejaaz:
especially if you're not just using Vero Rubin racks, you might be using cheaper

317
00:19:11,140 --> 00:19:13,840
Ejaaz:
Google TPU racks or Amazon Tranium.

318
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,910
Ejaaz:
So the idea is this is a big bet. Now, if you're purchasing this IPO,

319
00:19:17,910 --> 00:19:21,450
Ejaaz:
you aren't just in it for the near term, you're in it for this next three to

320
00:19:21,730 --> 00:19:23,660
Ejaaz:
honestly 10 year window, where

321
00:19:23,660 --> 00:19:27,400
Ejaaz:
AI data centers in space become a much real thing, much more real thing.

322
00:19:27,780 --> 00:19:29,940
Josh:
Yeah, and this is a roundup. So we're going to wrap this up in a second,

323
00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:32,670
Josh:
get some more news. But the final point that I want to make is you mentioned

324
00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:34,940
Josh:
the cost of reusability for Starship.

325
00:19:35,260 --> 00:19:38,750
Josh:
If you look at the Falcon 9 rocket, there's two stages, and only one of them

326
00:19:38,750 --> 00:19:41,010
Josh:
is actually reusable, so there still is a higher cost.

327
00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:45,370
Josh:
With Starship, 100% of the rocket is reusable, and the actual cost to launch

328
00:19:45,370 --> 00:19:48,480
Josh:
it in the case that 100% is reusable is just the cost of fuel.

329
00:19:48,830 --> 00:19:52,520
Josh:
And the cost of fuel on a Starship rocket is actually cheaper than the cost

330
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,650
Josh:
of fuel on something like a Boeing 747. Because...

331
00:19:56,110 --> 00:20:00,690
Josh:
78% of it, I think, like almost 80% is just liquid oxygen. Liquid oxygen is

332
00:20:00,690 --> 00:20:02,610
Josh:
like very abundant. We breathe it all the time.

333
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,370
Josh:
It is just a liquefied form of oxygen with the remaining 22% being just liquid methane.

334
00:20:08,730 --> 00:20:11,240
Josh:
And methane is like, it's the stuff you like cook on your grill with.

335
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,000
Josh:
So this isn't very expensive. It's not crazy to think that they will need a

336
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,450
Josh:
lot of money to launch these things. And the idea is that that will bring the

337
00:20:18,450 --> 00:20:20,360
Josh:
cost per kilogram down to sub $100.

338
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,530
Josh:
And that means if you are, it does, if you want to go to space,

339
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:26,770
Josh:
depending on how many kilograms you are, you just divide that by 100 and you're on your way.

340
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:29,640
Ejaaz:
It's a cheap ticket weight so i'm meant to lose some weight now

341
00:20:31,310 --> 00:20:35,020
Josh:
So yeah go on a diet so you can get a cheaper ticket to space but that's i think

342
00:20:35,020 --> 00:20:37,820
Josh:
that's kind of like the bulkiest why i'm excited i have to ask you as we wrap

343
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:39,230
Josh:
up this section before we get into the next one

344
00:20:39,470 --> 00:20:43,090
Josh:
which is going to be open ai building this like gigantic data center is are

345
00:20:43,090 --> 00:20:46,340
Josh:
you going to be participating in the spacex ipo are you excited about it are

346
00:20:46,340 --> 00:20:48,550
Josh:
you going to buy some what are your general thoughts.

347
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,440
Ejaaz:
So if robin hood and my broker allows me to which i've signaled interest.

348
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,540
Ejaaz:
Absolutely, I will be as this goes live today.

349
00:20:56,460 --> 00:21:02,250
Ejaaz:
My thoughts in general are I wouldn't bet against Elon when it comes to hardware

350
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:04,960
Ejaaz:
scaling. He's less proven on the software side of things.

351
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,950
Ejaaz:
This is just me trying to be balanced here, but he has proven himself time and

352
00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:10,120
Ejaaz:
again on hardware scaling.

353
00:21:10,410 --> 00:21:15,030
Ejaaz:
And SpaceX is solving a hardware issue, one of the biggest hardware issues or

354
00:21:15,030 --> 00:21:17,650
Ejaaz:
challenges ever with AI data centers in space.

355
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:21,100
Ejaaz:
As everyone knows, I'm a big AI fan. So if he's able to pull this off.

356
00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:23,780
Ejaaz:
More compute equals better models, better inference.

357
00:21:24,340 --> 00:21:27,990
Ejaaz:
He'll be able to serve agnostically any AI company. It's an obvious buy for me.

358
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:32,260
Josh:
Yeah, I think I'm pretty aligned. Me too. I have been so I got lucky in the

359
00:21:32,260 --> 00:21:34,550
Josh:
case that I had some private shares from about five years ago.

360
00:21:34,550 --> 00:21:38,170
Josh:
So I have been a SpaceX holder. I continue. I plan to continue that going forward.

361
00:21:38,410 --> 00:21:39,800
Josh:
I also requested some at IPO.

362
00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:43,350
Josh:
I'm also just planning to continue to buy like, dude, I can get a 10 plus trillion

363
00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:44,700
Josh:
dollar company for 2 trillion bucks.

364
00:21:45,010 --> 00:21:47,930
Josh:
Sign me up. I think the people who are a little more time sensitive,

365
00:21:48,150 --> 00:21:51,190
Josh:
who are looking to get a return sooner, that might be a bit iffy.

366
00:21:51,330 --> 00:21:55,200
Josh:
I mean, $2.1 trillion is high. There's still a lot of variables that need to be worked out.

367
00:21:55,490 --> 00:21:59,170
Josh:
There's a chance that this thing goes public, shoots up, and then falls for a little while.

368
00:21:59,570 --> 00:22:02,440
Josh:
I don't know. We're not traders. But I think as long-term investors,

369
00:22:03,010 --> 00:22:07,320
Josh:
as someone with a low time preference, SpaceX at $2 trillion, two thumbs up for me.

370
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,230
Josh:
Let's keep the train going. Anyways, we probably should move on.

371
00:22:10,230 --> 00:22:13,430
Josh:
This is a roundup. This is Friday. We got to fill the people in on what's going on.

372
00:22:13,630 --> 00:22:18,500
Josh:
EJ, there's some news from OpenAI about a new gigawatt data center.

373
00:22:18,940 --> 00:22:22,120
Josh:
We're back on Earth, by the way. We're talking about data centers on Earth.

374
00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:23,870
Josh:
What's the deal with this new OpenAI news?

375
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,370
Ejaaz:
Yeah, so we're out of the world of single-digit gigawatts now,

376
00:22:29,370 --> 00:22:31,230
Ejaaz:
Josh. We're in double digits.

377
00:22:31,230 --> 00:22:32,550
Josh:
Run it up expeditiously.

378
00:22:32,550 --> 00:22:38,530
Ejaaz:
OpenAI has basically signed a major deal for a 10-gigawatt data center.

379
00:22:38,530 --> 00:22:43,010
Ejaaz:
For context here, the largest gigawatt data center, which is what Elon's building

380
00:22:43,010 --> 00:22:48,100
Ejaaz:
with Colossus 3, is aiming to be around 1.5 to 2 gigawatts worth of data centers.

381
00:22:48,860 --> 00:22:56,100
Ejaaz:
For a single site to own 10 gigawatts of compute, you need roughly around $500 billion.

382
00:22:56,620 --> 00:23:00,710
Ejaaz:
Now, obviously, OpenAI, they haven't IPO'd yet. They might be pretty soon.

383
00:23:01,490 --> 00:23:04,690
Ejaaz:
They don't have that kind of money. So they're being backstopped by their best

384
00:23:04,690 --> 00:23:07,720
Ejaaz:
friend, SoftBank, and of course, NVIDIA.

385
00:23:07,870 --> 00:23:12,770
Ejaaz:
Jensen Huang is stepping up to backstop this entire data center campus in Ohio.

386
00:23:12,770 --> 00:23:16,180
Ejaaz:
It's going to be an absolute gargantuan beast of a site.

387
00:23:16,420 --> 00:23:18,820
Ejaaz:
And it kind of follows in the trend of

388
00:23:19,250 --> 00:23:23,240
Ejaaz:
Sam Altman and OpenAI specifically, who have been incredibly aggressive about

389
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,360
Ejaaz:
acquiring as much compute as they can to serve their models.

390
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:30,290
Ejaaz:
Now, if you compare them to Anthropic, you might notice sometimes when you're

391
00:23:30,290 --> 00:23:32,770
Ejaaz:
using clawed models, the performance gets a little degraded,

392
00:23:32,770 --> 00:23:35,550
Ejaaz:
or you might get limited, or you might hit your limits really quickly.

393
00:23:35,660 --> 00:23:39,070
Ejaaz:
That's because Anthropic has fairly been conservative with compute,

394
00:23:39,070 --> 00:23:40,870
Ejaaz:
and that's given them advantages in other areas.

395
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:44,480
Ejaaz:
OpenAI has been the opposite, and that's why it's always kind of like relatively

396
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,270
Ejaaz:
free and flexible to use as much of your rate limit at OpenAI as you can,

397
00:23:48,270 --> 00:23:51,940
Ejaaz:
which has led to arguably a better developer experience, a better coding experience,

398
00:23:51,940 --> 00:23:53,490
Ejaaz:
a better LLM experience in general.

399
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,800
Ejaaz:
And Sam is doubling down on that bet. He believes in the future,

400
00:23:57,010 --> 00:24:00,910
Ejaaz:
the demand for AI is going to outstrip the amount of available compute supply

401
00:24:00,910 --> 00:24:02,280
Ejaaz:
that he has currently on Earth.

402
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,140
Ejaaz:
He is kind of not on good terms of the alarm, you could say.

403
00:24:05,140 --> 00:24:06,680
Ejaaz:
They recently just got out of a court case.

404
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,140
Ejaaz:
So he's probably not going to be using data centers in space anytime soon.

405
00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:14,140
Ejaaz:
So he's trying to secure as much ground space as he can on this new site.

406
00:24:14,140 --> 00:24:19,190
Ejaaz:
Now, what worries me a little about this is just the pure amount of money that

407
00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:21,060
Ejaaz:
you need. Now, obviously, this is going to be done in phases.

408
00:24:21,060 --> 00:24:24,310
Ejaaz:
10 gigawatts of computers is going to take absolute years to spin up.

409
00:24:24,550 --> 00:24:28,700
Ejaaz:
But it's an important bit of news that I think kind of lays into this next headline.

410
00:24:28,990 --> 00:24:32,960
Ejaaz:
Josh, I don't know if you saw this, but OpenAI has confidentially filed for

411
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,050
Ejaaz:
an S1. They are going to be IPO-ing relatively soon.

412
00:24:36,370 --> 00:24:41,270
Josh:
OpenAI is copying SpaceX with data centers. They're copying SpaceX with IPOs.

413
00:24:41,270 --> 00:24:43,620
Josh:
It doesn't work with Elon. All right, I'm getting the trend.

414
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,790
Josh:
Yeah, but it seems like this is actually official now.

415
00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:48,020
Josh:
I hope they can build that data center. That would be amazing.

416
00:24:48,020 --> 00:24:51,290
Josh:
But we do have a official filing of a confidential S1.

417
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,610
Josh:
And there was also a leaked all hands news report that I read that said Sam

418
00:24:56,610 --> 00:24:58,150
Josh:
is kind of using this as an option.

419
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,980
Josh:
There is the option to go public soon. But depending on how their model progress

420
00:25:02,980 --> 00:25:05,620
Josh:
goes over the next few months, they will then make that determination.

421
00:25:05,620 --> 00:25:08,750
Josh:
His perspective is that the world will meaningfully change in the sense that

422
00:25:08,750 --> 00:25:12,980
Josh:
they do get kind of like this runaway AGI self-fulfilling loop type thing.

423
00:25:13,330 --> 00:25:16,350
Josh:
And he wants to be a private company in the case that that does happen sooner

424
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,020
Josh:
rather than later. This is some pretty...

425
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,550
Josh:
Big grand visions that they're dealing with so we'll see but now they do have

426
00:25:23,550 --> 00:25:26,670
Josh:
the option they have confidentially filed someone out there is reading through

427
00:25:26,670 --> 00:25:29,800
Josh:
this and probably having a field day understand the internals of how this company

428
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,970
Josh:
actually works so that's pretty exciting news.

429
00:25:32,140 --> 00:25:35,920
Ejaaz:
Yeah and there was another bit of news that uh open ai reportedly is looking

430
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:41,340
Ejaaz:
to slash the cost or prices to their subscriptions which is kind of a change

431
00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:43,310
Ejaaz:
in the directional trend that we've seen from anthropic um

432
00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:47,970
Ejaaz:
google actually this week cut their prices as well i think we're starting to see,

433
00:25:48,550 --> 00:25:51,930
Ejaaz:
we're starting to reach a point where all these AI models, as good as they are,

434
00:25:51,930 --> 00:25:53,830
Ejaaz:
are starting to become more commoditized.

435
00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:57,260
Ejaaz:
They kind of all do the same things. The leap between the prior version and

436
00:25:57,260 --> 00:26:01,180
Ejaaz:
the current version isn't as large as it used to be, like, say, a year back.

437
00:26:01,410 --> 00:26:04,970
Ejaaz:
And OpenAI is taking the first step to being competitive towards Anthropic and

438
00:26:05,650 --> 00:26:10,520
Ejaaz:
Google. So Google slashed their access to their AI studio to about $20 a month

439
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,110
Ejaaz:
for their cheapest thing. I think OpenAI is planning to do the same.

440
00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:16,400
Ejaaz:
And I'm guessing, like, Anthropic and OpenAI are going to get into some kind of a bidding war.

441
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,380
Ejaaz:
OpenAI kind of like taking its time to go public, as Sam suggested in that leaked

442
00:26:20,380 --> 00:26:24,090
Ejaaz:
memo, is very interesting to me because you see Anthropik and SpaceX kind of

443
00:26:24,090 --> 00:26:26,050
Ejaaz:
like racing to raise as much capital as they can.

444
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,840
Ejaaz:
And if Sam wants to pay for a $500 billion data center, he kind of like,

445
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,210
Ejaaz:
I'm confused where he's going to get the money from. Maybe he's just going to

446
00:26:32,210 --> 00:26:33,180
Ejaaz:
keep borrowing privately.

447
00:26:33,570 --> 00:26:38,000
Ejaaz:
But it's just a unique case where OpenAI is kind of breaking away from the pact.

448
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,940
Ejaaz:
And I'm wondering if these financial decisions actually end up paying off.

449
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:45,690
Josh:
Yeah, we'll see. We got to cover Fable next because it just released this week.

450
00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:48,640
Josh:
You've been using it for a few days. I've been using it for a little while.

451
00:26:48,990 --> 00:26:53,840
Josh:
It's a pretty amazing model. I've been using it for a lot of fun extracurricular

452
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,870
Josh:
stuff I found. Like I created the Minecraft clone to play around with it.

453
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,610
Josh:
I've been building kind of games in 3D spaces and I found it to be really fun.

454
00:27:00,610 --> 00:27:04,520
Josh:
It genuinely feels like this novel model architecture that I've been enjoying

455
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,140
Josh:
playing with. Ejaz, over the first few days that you've been using this,

456
00:27:07,350 --> 00:27:11,640
Josh:
what are your initial thoughts, opinions, kind of like after the dust settles, how do you feel about,

457
00:27:12,250 --> 00:27:13,430
Josh:
the new model fable 5.

458
00:27:14,010 --> 00:27:19,160
Ejaaz:
Um i think it is less sycophantic than opus 4.8 i'm not gonna lie i

459
00:27:19,530 --> 00:27:26,250
Ejaaz:
when 4.8 came out i use it primarily as my main model but like it was way more agreeable than 4.7

460
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,770
Ejaaz:
we're now back with fable 5 and that might sound like it's got nothing to do

461
00:27:30,770 --> 00:27:34,730
Ejaaz:
with intelligence to me it is it factors in the personality of the model and

462
00:27:34,730 --> 00:27:39,600
Ejaaz:
i'm able to like work with it longer over certain tasks it just understands what i want to do

463
00:27:39,930 --> 00:27:42,980
Ejaaz:
the second thing i've noticed is i've been working on a couple of personal projects

464
00:27:42,980 --> 00:27:45,080
Ejaaz:
that involve a lot of code and research.

465
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:53,270
Ejaaz:
I can just one-prompt Fable 5, and it is able to just work continuously for up to an hour.

466
00:27:53,270 --> 00:27:56,460
Ejaaz:
Now, I know software engineers listening to this are like, I let my thing run

467
00:27:56,460 --> 00:27:58,890
Ejaaz:
for five to six hours or maybe even overnight.

468
00:27:58,890 --> 00:28:04,170
Ejaaz:
But for me, for the average person, it is becoming incrementally more valuable

469
00:28:04,170 --> 00:28:07,940
Ejaaz:
for a model that understands what you want, that doesn't come to you for every

470
00:28:07,940 --> 00:28:11,480
Ejaaz:
kind of challenge it hits, and just kind of figures it out for himself.

471
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,220
Ejaaz:
And I think this kind of trend of models doing longer horizon tasks way better than the average human

472
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:20,820
Ejaaz:
is a subtle trend that is going to be increasingly valuable for corporate workers

473
00:28:20,820 --> 00:28:23,650
Ejaaz:
at enterprises, as well as personal people that are like starting their own

474
00:28:23,650 --> 00:28:27,200
Ejaaz:
businesses or want to spin up multiple of these agents instead of hiring an employee.

475
00:28:27,410 --> 00:28:30,960
Ejaaz:
I just think it's a wonderfully intelligent model. And I'm excited to see further

476
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,530
Ejaaz:
iterations of this mythos grade kind of type of model be released.

477
00:28:35,530 --> 00:28:39,690
Ejaaz:
But there was some pushback, right, Josh, like there were some policies that

478
00:28:39,690 --> 00:28:43,060
Ejaaz:
came out that were basically like, hey, like, You get access to this public

479
00:28:43,060 --> 00:28:46,540
Ejaaz:
version of Mythos 5, but it's going to be heavily safeguarded.

480
00:28:46,540 --> 00:28:50,720
Ejaaz:
Now, one of the biggest criticisms that they faced was if you ask it questions

481
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,690
Ejaaz:
like, hey, I'm trying to train my agent to become more efficient and use less

482
00:28:54,690 --> 00:28:58,570
Ejaaz:
tokens, it'll take that as some kind of an inclination that you're trying to

483
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:00,540
Ejaaz:
learn how Claude Fable 5 is built.

484
00:29:00,860 --> 00:29:06,590
Ejaaz:
And Anthropic installs these anti-distillation maneuvers, basically rediverting

485
00:29:06,590 --> 00:29:08,570
Ejaaz:
you back to the old model, Opus 4.8.

486
00:29:08,930 --> 00:29:13,070
Ejaaz:
But in this case, it would give you degraded quality intentionally because it

487
00:29:13,070 --> 00:29:15,530
Ejaaz:
thinks you're trying to like steal its blueprints.

488
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,780
Ejaaz:
Anthropik has now walked that back because previously they weren't going to

489
00:29:18,780 --> 00:29:19,690
Ejaaz:
tell you when they were going to do it.

490
00:29:19,930 --> 00:29:23,030
Ejaaz:
And now they are telling you. They reversed that decision as of yesterday,

491
00:29:23,260 --> 00:29:26,740
Ejaaz:
basically saying, hey, we'll be up front with you when we're going to intentionally

492
00:29:26,740 --> 00:29:30,410
Ejaaz:
degrade the quality of your answer because we think you're trying to like copy

493
00:29:30,410 --> 00:29:33,010
Ejaaz:
our model weights, which is a very political maneuver.

494
00:29:33,010 --> 00:29:35,620
Ejaaz:
And it's nice to see that they backtracked on that.

495
00:29:36,020 --> 00:29:39,680
Josh:
There you have it. So there's the update on Fable and the final topic of the week.

496
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,460
Josh:
We filmed an entire episode about Fable and also this final topic, WWDC.

497
00:29:43,460 --> 00:29:46,200
Josh:
So if you have not watched either of those, I highly recommend going to check

498
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,370
Josh:
them out. Pretty amazing episodes. We had a really strong week of fun topics

499
00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:53,010
Josh:
to talk about this week, but I do want to trace over WWDC, particularly around

500
00:29:53,010 --> 00:29:56,860
Josh:
Siri AI, which seems to actually be as good as they said it would be.

501
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,460
Josh:
And we have to cover this because that comes as a surprise. This is not the Apple of the past.

502
00:30:01,460 --> 00:30:04,770
Josh:
This is the Apple that promises things and doesn't always deliver so the people

503
00:30:04,770 --> 00:30:08,320
Josh:
have had to download the beta actually fact check try it for themselves and

504
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,520
Josh:
the initial reviews have been spectacular

505
00:30:10,830 --> 00:30:14,440
Josh:
it seems like it actually works better than what they demoed in real time on

506
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,890
Josh:
stage it actually works faster it understands context it works very well on

507
00:30:17,890 --> 00:30:21,460
Josh:
people's phones and this is available through the developer program that apple

508
00:30:21,460 --> 00:30:23,720
Josh:
offers through their ios developer membership

509
00:30:24,030 --> 00:30:27,750
Josh:
it seems like we're actually going to have a pretty powerful siri experience

510
00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:30,410
Josh:
we're going to have on-device ai that is actually.

511
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:34,070
Josh:
Contextually aware of everything that lives on your phone and off of it.

512
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,110
Josh:
And they actually addressed something that I found really interesting.

513
00:30:37,110 --> 00:30:42,040
Josh:
Maybe you saw, maybe you didn't about their removal of Siri from Europe and

514
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,790
Josh:
from China in the sense that they will not budge on the privacy thing.

515
00:30:45,790 --> 00:30:48,870
Josh:
They will offload some of the compute to cloud in the sense that,

516
00:30:49,190 --> 00:30:53,290
Josh:
or in the case that it can't run locally on your device, it's a little too challenging for that.

517
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,730
Josh:
And when they do, it's done so entirely privately.

518
00:30:56,010 --> 00:30:58,600
Josh:
Europe doesn't want this to happen. So therefore Apple's like,

519
00:30:58,850 --> 00:31:01,380
Josh:
no, no, no, we're not giving you the backdoor. We don't even have the backdoor.

520
00:31:01,770 --> 00:31:05,120
Josh:
We are just not going to push it there. And I really admire the like standing

521
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,200
Josh:
strong on the stance of being private of running everything on device.

522
00:31:08,410 --> 00:31:12,220
Josh:
It seems like Apple has a grand slam and it comes maybe a couple of years later

523
00:31:12,220 --> 00:31:13,000
Josh:
than everyone would like.

524
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,620
Josh:
But this is something I am stoked to get. And I think the downstream implications

525
00:31:16,620 --> 00:31:18,210
Josh:
of this are probably pretty big.

526
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:22,350
Josh:
There's a lot of casual users of something like ChatGPT who pay $20 a month

527
00:31:22,350 --> 00:31:27,000
Josh:
to have an LLM that they basically use as Google Plus Plus, this now substitutes

528
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,410
Josh:
and subsidizes a lot of that all for free,

529
00:31:30,070 --> 00:31:33,720
Josh:
running local inference on device. So very excited, very bullish about Apple in general.

530
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,960
Ejaaz:
You know, it was funny. I was reading the release article for Siri AI,

531
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,390
Ejaaz:
and typically at the footnote, you'll see, you know, these regions are excluded.

532
00:31:43,390 --> 00:31:46,430
Ejaaz:
It'll just be a minor bullet point in tiny, you know, writing.

533
00:31:46,790 --> 00:31:52,010
Ejaaz:
For Europe, they had an entire A4 page basically saying this is Europe's fault.

534
00:31:52,540 --> 00:31:56,830
Ejaaz:
Europe government is the reason that we can't release our product,

535
00:31:56,830 --> 00:32:00,320
Ejaaz:
and we are not budging because we just think, frankly, that this is ridiculous.

536
00:32:01,150 --> 00:32:05,280
Ejaaz:
It was a larger piece than the China bit, which just came in as like a paragraph.

537
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,200
Ejaaz:
Obviously, China is like going to want access.

538
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,750
Josh:
I think everyone expects the China one.

539
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:14,900
Ejaaz:
Exactly. But for Europe, they've been sort of anti-AI and anti-privacy for quite a while now.

540
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:20,590
Ejaaz:
And it has resulted in slowed down releases of the latest AI products and features

541
00:32:20,770 --> 00:32:23,260
Ejaaz:
in that region, which is just kind of like sad to see, especially like,

542
00:32:23,390 --> 00:32:24,340
Ejaaz:
you know, that's where I'm from.

543
00:32:24,340 --> 00:32:27,320
Ejaaz:
And it's annoying that like, I can't talk to my friends about the latest features

544
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,710
Ejaaz:
because they have to wait like months to a year to get access to the exact same thing.

545
00:32:30,940 --> 00:32:34,190
Ejaaz:
That being said, a lot of the haters for Apple, which included me,

546
00:32:34,190 --> 00:32:37,970
Ejaaz:
which was me a year ago, was like, I don't think Apple's gonna be able to catch up.

547
00:32:38,330 --> 00:32:42,600
Ejaaz:
We have been proven absolutely wrong. And I wanna make that very clear on camera right now.

548
00:32:42,910 --> 00:32:46,700
Ejaaz:
Apple has a distinct advantage, which is they own the entire consumer hardware

549
00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:48,620
Ejaaz:
ecosystem, 3.5 billion devices.

550
00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:52,760
Ejaaz:
And now they have the hardware, the chips, to run some of the best frontier

551
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,210
Ejaaz:
models on your phone. They may not be as large as Anthropics.

552
00:32:55,210 --> 00:32:57,060
Ejaaz:
They may not be as large as OpenAIs.

553
00:32:57,290 --> 00:33:00,420
Ejaaz:
But they're trained on your data. And you can do something that none of these

554
00:33:00,420 --> 00:33:04,580
Ejaaz:
other AI labs can do, which is ask Siri to basically find that text that your

555
00:33:04,580 --> 00:33:06,670
Ejaaz:
mom told you to do the thing and you forgot what it was, or,

556
00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:09,510
Ejaaz:
you know, bring back that memory of like when you were hanging out with your

557
00:33:09,510 --> 00:33:10,600
Ejaaz:
best friend, doing blah, blah, blah.

558
00:33:10,820 --> 00:33:13,810
Ejaaz:
It has full context, grounded context on your entire thing.

559
00:33:14,090 --> 00:33:18,630
Ejaaz:
And that is a feature we haven't seen and one that I'm personally super excited to use. So...

560
00:33:18,970 --> 00:33:22,430
Ejaaz:
That is all the news for today, folks. Josh, any final thoughts?

561
00:33:22,650 --> 00:33:26,230
Josh:
You're caught up. No, that's everything. The vibes have been crazy high this

562
00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:27,650
Josh:
week. The news has been insane.

563
00:33:27,870 --> 00:33:32,940
Josh:
Lots of things that I think we're probably personally excited about have been released. We got WWDC.

564
00:33:33,150 --> 00:33:38,320
Josh:
We got a new Frontier AI model. And we got the biggest IPO in history all in one week.

565
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,010
Ejaaz:
It's crazy.

566
00:33:39,190 --> 00:33:40,640
Josh:
It's like there are weeks where- We also got.

567
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,760
Ejaaz:
The Knicks dub yesterday. Please, let's not forget.

568
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,280
Josh:
For the New Yorkers. Ejaz and I are both in New York, both big Knicks fans.

569
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,050
Josh:
Huge. hopefully the day after you're watching this they win the championship

570
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:55,010
Josh:
that'd be pretty amazing given the vibes this week i suspect that's that's likely

571
00:33:55,010 --> 00:33:57,140
Josh:
that feels probable just on a vibes based opinion

572
00:33:57,460 --> 00:34:00,620
Josh:
um but yeah very excited about all the things that are happening very excited

573
00:34:00,620 --> 00:34:03,460
Josh:
that you have made it here to the end of the episode and are still listening

574
00:34:03,460 --> 00:34:05,940
Josh:
so thank you so much for all the support as always

575
00:34:06,270 --> 00:34:09,700
Josh:
if you enjoy this as always also don't forget to share it with a friend anyone

576
00:34:09,700 --> 00:34:12,950
Josh:
who you think might be interested anyone who asks you should i buy the spacex

577
00:34:12,950 --> 00:34:15,000
Josh:
ipo maybe send in this video and say,

578
00:34:15,350 --> 00:34:18,790
Josh:
not only should you buy it, you should set, I'm not, I can't go that far.

579
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:21,370
Josh:
Don't make your own. This is not financial advice.

580
00:34:21,370 --> 00:34:25,030
Ejaaz:
Actually, if you disagree with us, if you disagree with us, we actually want

581
00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:28,040
Ejaaz:
to hear from you. Like we have been combing through the numbers.

582
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,440
Ejaaz:
We've been combing through the projections and we're like, this kind of makes a lot of sense to us.

583
00:34:31,730 --> 00:34:34,640
Ejaaz:
But if you're adamant that we're wrong, let us know in the comments.

584
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,420
Ejaaz:
We're hearing, we're going to hear you. We're going to see you.

585
00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:40,400
Ejaaz:
We're going to respond to you. So we want to hear from you, whether you hate

586
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,740
Ejaaz:
our opinion or you love it. Like tell us where we're wrong. Tell us where we're right.

587
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:46,410
Josh:
Yeah, and I'm also going to disagree with you. So I'm ready to go to war in

588
00:34:46,410 --> 00:34:48,320
Josh:
the comment section. Bring it on, baby.

589
00:34:48,700 --> 00:34:51,020
Josh:
Tell me why SpaceX isn't the most valuable company in the world.

590
00:34:51,020 --> 00:34:53,970
Josh:
Come on. But yeah, that's it. Thank you guys always so much for watching.

591
00:34:53,970 --> 00:34:54,820
Josh:
Have an amazing weekend.

592
00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:57,310
Josh:
Enjoy the weekend. Hopefully, by the time you're watching this,

593
00:34:57,310 --> 00:34:59,310
Josh:
SpaceX is going up only. That'd be great.

594
00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:02,280
Josh:
If not, I'm sure we'll hear about it.

595
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,420
Ejaaz:
Long term. The thesis is long term, Josh.

596
00:35:04,460 --> 00:35:07,230
Josh:
Yes, we're long term. This is a low time preference show, man.

597
00:35:07,230 --> 00:35:10,150
Josh:
I'm here for a long time, not a good time. Or a good time and a long time,

598
00:35:10,150 --> 00:35:12,750
Josh:
I guess. But it doesn't matter the timelines that it happens on.

599
00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:14,430
Josh:
But yes, thank you all so much for watching.

600
00:35:14,630 --> 00:35:18,900
Josh:
Have an amazing weekend and we'll see you next week for another set of episodes on Limitless.

601
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:19,800
Ejaaz:
See you. See you guys.
