1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:03,900
Josh:
NVIDIA earnings are in, the stock is moving, and pretty much everyone has an

2
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:04,940
Josh:
opinion on what this means.

3
00:00:05,020 --> 00:00:08,020
Josh:
But most of the commentary, I think, is missing the real story,

4
00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:10,100
Josh:
which isn't actually about this quarter at all.

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,400
Josh:
It's about whether AI is in a super cycle that has likes for years or whether

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,360
Josh:
we're about one overbuilds away from a dot com style wipeout.

7
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:20,920
Josh:
Today, we're getting into the thesis that has Wall Street buzzing,

8
00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:24,120
Josh:
which is, I mean, kind of answering the question, are we in a bubble or not?

9
00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:27,420
Josh:
And if we're not, how much longer do we have? We have a lot of new data points

10
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:30,820
Josh:
now with this NVIDIA earnings report that I think are worth getting excited about.

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,280
Josh:
This is also the AI Weekly Roundup where we talk about the top news of the week.

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,160
Josh:
So in addition to this, we have Perplexity. They launched a new personal computer from the ground up.

13
00:00:39,580 --> 00:00:44,140
Josh:
Cloud Cowork has become OpenClaw now. There's many OpenClaw alternatives that

14
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:45,700
Josh:
come from everywhere. And Anthropic

15
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:50,300
Josh:
wiped out, what was it, 15% of IBM's market cap in one single post.

16
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:54,480
Josh:
So lots of things are happening quickly, but maybe we'll start with the NVIDIA earnings report.

17
00:00:54,780 --> 00:01:00,460
Ejaaz:
Yeah, so NVIDIA earnings pretty much broke the entire stock market. And I'll tell you why.

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,100
Ejaaz:
For every single target, they beat it.

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,280
Ejaaz:
They beat earnings per share. They brought in $68.1 billion in Q4,

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,880
Ejaaz:
which is up about 70% from the year before and 20% from the previous quarter.

21
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:20,340
Ejaaz:
And they're also estimating $78 billion for Q1 of this year,

22
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:23,440
Ejaaz:
whereas the Wall Street estimates were about $72 billion.

23
00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:28,680
Ejaaz:
So things are looking pretty positive, right? And actually, in post-closed market,

24
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:36,040
Ejaaz:
the stock pumped 4%. But this morning, it's down 4%. It completely retraced the move entirely.

25
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:40,160
Ejaaz:
So it added $150 billion to their market cap, and then it completely removed it.

26
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:45,520
Ejaaz:
And I think that there's just a clear misunderstanding of what NVIDIA is doing

27
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,540
Ejaaz:
here and why it's actually bullish.

28
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,000
Ejaaz:
I think a lot of people look at this and say, this seems like an AI CapEx bubble.

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,240
Ejaaz:
I don't know how much more sustainable it is.

30
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,860
Ejaaz:
And to be honest, I'm going to spend a bit of time arguing as to why it actually

31
00:01:56,860 --> 00:02:01,580
Ejaaz:
is pretty amazing, because we're talking about a 75% year upon year growth.

32
00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:07,500
Ejaaz:
And I think that what the market misunderstands is there is a lot of investment in GPUs.

33
00:02:07,620 --> 00:02:11,200
Ejaaz:
Buying GPUs is very expensive. And at some point, the music has to stop, right?

34
00:02:11,630 --> 00:02:17,110
Ejaaz:
Except that the companies buying the GPUs are, number one, fully utilizing all

35
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:20,270
Ejaaz:
their GPUs, so they're maxed out and they need to actually buy more.

36
00:02:20,410 --> 00:02:24,870
Ejaaz:
But number two, there's a story about a little thing known as electricity or

37
00:02:24,870 --> 00:02:27,610
Ejaaz:
energy, which needs to power these GPUs.

38
00:02:27,690 --> 00:02:29,990
Ejaaz:
And we just don't have enough of it.

39
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:32,990
Josh:
Yeah, any way you look at this report, the numbers are pretty outrageous.

40
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:38,450
Josh:
I mean, revenue of this quarter coming in at $80 billion estimate versus 72.

41
00:02:38,690 --> 00:02:43,130
Josh:
I mean, the amount of money they're going to be earning and the profit margin

42
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:47,010
Josh:
that they have on those earnings is just absolutely gigantic.

43
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:50,530
Josh:
And I think one of the best takes that answered the question,

44
00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:53,470
Josh:
are we in a bubble or not? Where are we in the bubble?

45
00:02:53,650 --> 00:02:57,290
Josh:
What does this bubble look like? Is from this guy named Gavin Baker.

46
00:02:57,470 --> 00:03:00,810
Josh:
I think everyone here, we love Gavin Baker. He's great.

47
00:03:01,010 --> 00:03:03,330
Josh:
He's an analyst at Atreides Capital, I think.

48
00:03:03,610 --> 00:03:06,390
Josh:
And right before the earnings report, he published this

49
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:09,270
Josh:
post not knowing what the results were going to be not knowing

50
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:11,930
Josh:
kind of how impressive it was going to be and he

51
00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:15,450
Josh:
kind of broke it down into a few sections with

52
00:03:15,450 --> 00:03:20,330
Josh:
the core question is like nvidia's earnings durability is it actually going

53
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:24,930
Josh:
to be able to hold through not only this report but through future reports and

54
00:03:24,930 --> 00:03:29,030
Josh:
he he outlines in this paper that every major tech revolution like railroads

55
00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:33,810
Josh:
radio the internet it follows the same playbook generally where the market correctly

56
00:03:33,810 --> 00:03:35,290
Josh:
identifies the potential of

57
00:03:35,540 --> 00:03:36,480
Ejaaz:
That creates a bubble.

58
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,520
Josh:
And then the excitement creates that bubble and the demand temporary collapses.

59
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,660
Josh:
And then there's a crash.

60
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Josh:
And he has this line that I love that says, believing this time is different

61
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,280
Josh:
is dangerous, but I think this time might be different.

62
00:03:48,140 --> 00:03:51,360
Josh:
Maybe you have some insight as to why he really believes this time is different,

63
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,440
Josh:
because it seems like this is backed up by like real information that separates

64
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,840
Josh:
this bubble from those previous bubbles, like railroads, like the radio,

65
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,720
Josh:
like the internet, even this time actually is different for a few key reasons.

66
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,900
Ejaaz:
Yeah, so he makes the very valid point that in every previous bubble,

67
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:11,080
Ejaaz:
we have overstepped what is actually real.

68
00:04:11,260 --> 00:04:14,080
Ejaaz:
So in this case, the people that are calling for the AI CapEx bubble,

69
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,100
Ejaaz:
their argument would be that all the GPUs that are being bought aren't actually

70
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:21,300
Ejaaz:
being utilized and they're just kind of sitting and collecting dust.

71
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:29,420
Ejaaz:
The truth is all these GPUs, all these new ones and five to 10 year old GPUs are maxed out.

72
00:04:29,420 --> 00:04:34,220
Ejaaz:
In fact, if you wanted to go and rent a five-year-old GPU from NVIDIA or from

73
00:04:34,220 --> 00:04:39,680
Ejaaz:
a secondary market right now, you'd be paying roughly one and a half times the

74
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,300
Ejaaz:
original cost of the GPU five years ago.

75
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,140
Ejaaz:
The demand is off the scale and it's not stopping anytime soon.

76
00:04:46,670 --> 00:04:50,950
Ejaaz:
But the second more prescient point that he makes is the hyperscalers,

77
00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:55,490
Ejaaz:
even if they wanted to blow up a bubble that would lead to an ultimate collapse

78
00:04:55,490 --> 00:04:56,930
Ejaaz:
that all the doomers are talking about,

79
00:04:57,210 --> 00:05:02,710
Ejaaz:
they can't because they're limited by the amount of electricity and power that

80
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:05,070
Ejaaz:
our grid can currently support.

81
00:05:05,290 --> 00:05:08,650
Ejaaz:
So he's saying that we can buy all these GPUs and they could overbuy it,

82
00:05:08,750 --> 00:05:12,810
Ejaaz:
but they will have not enough power to power them up in the first place.

83
00:05:12,810 --> 00:05:17,390
Ejaaz:
So in a weird sort of way, the hyperscalers are restricted from creating the

84
00:05:17,390 --> 00:05:20,770
Ejaaz:
bubble that everyone is fearing and, you know, worrying about.

85
00:05:21,210 --> 00:05:24,190
Josh:
Yeah, in the dot-com bubble, there's this huge race to deploy fiber as fast

86
00:05:24,190 --> 00:05:28,610
Josh:
as possible across the oceans, across the continents to get everyone connected online.

87
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,230
Josh:
And the reality is, is that they were able to deploy the fiber so much faster

88
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:34,490
Josh:
than, I mean, we could come up with use cases for it.

89
00:05:34,690 --> 00:05:37,550
Josh:
And in this case, the inverse is true where everyone wants to move quickly.

90
00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:41,110
Josh:
But he has this really elegant line that says, we're constrained by watts and

91
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:44,550
Josh:
wafers, meaning we don't have enough electricity, we don't have enough chips.

92
00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:48,870
Josh:
And as a result, that becomes the limiting factor, enabling the growth.

93
00:05:49,050 --> 00:05:53,990
Josh:
And it will stop us from actually accelerating as fast as we could and smoothing

94
00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:58,570
Josh:
out what could eventually become a bubble, but still has a lot of narrative runway left.

95
00:05:58,570 --> 00:06:04,110
Josh:
The summary of this is that so long as nvidia is printing cash and doing well

96
00:06:04,110 --> 00:06:09,550
Josh:
there is basically infinite demand because they are just not able to create

97
00:06:09,550 --> 00:06:15,710
Josh:
as much as the industry desires and as a result of watts and wafers being the limiting factor

98
00:06:16,290 --> 00:06:20,690
Josh:
we are just not able to reach bubble levels required to make things,

99
00:06:20,830 --> 00:06:22,390
Josh:
to put things into the danger zone.

100
00:06:22,610 --> 00:06:25,290
Josh:
So kind of his sentiment, and it seems like the sentiment after this NVIDIA

101
00:06:25,290 --> 00:06:29,830
Josh:
report is that there's a lot of time left before you have to worry about things collapsing.

102
00:06:29,970 --> 00:06:34,990
Josh:
And there will be ruts along the way, but we are like still green lights full speed ahead.

103
00:06:35,150 --> 00:06:40,570
Ejaaz:
A lot of people are worried about AI basically replacing human labor entirely.

104
00:06:40,910 --> 00:06:44,950
Ejaaz:
And he makes the point that because we're restrained by energy and the electrical

105
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:48,150
Ejaaz:
grid, and we will be for the foreseeable future for the next at least five years

106
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:50,550
Ejaaz:
until we build this thing, this stuff takes a lot of time.

107
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:55,450
Ejaaz:
We'll reach a point where we buy enough GPUs, but the cost of paying an AI to

108
00:06:55,450 --> 00:06:59,810
Ejaaz:
do a human job actually becomes more expensive than just employing a human.

109
00:06:59,930 --> 00:07:03,070
Ejaaz:
As long as we have this limiting factor of electricity and power,

110
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:05,150
Ejaaz:
humans are good for the foreseeable future.

111
00:07:05,390 --> 00:07:07,690
Ejaaz:
And of course, take that with a pinch of salt. It's interesting,

112
00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:10,950
Ejaaz:
this article was a direct rebuttal to a really.

113
00:07:11,790 --> 00:07:14,430
Ejaaz:
Tantalizingly written post from citrini which is a

114
00:07:14,430 --> 00:07:17,730
Ejaaz:
research firm which basically outlined the doomer case where

115
00:07:17,730 --> 00:07:21,350
Ejaaz:
ai takes over everything and you know humans basically need to kind of like

116
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:24,130
Ejaaz:
fight for themselves and like subsidize themselves through i don't know some

117
00:07:24,130 --> 00:07:28,270
Ejaaz:
kind of just voluntary payment uh structure and so he's outlining the positive

118
00:07:28,270 --> 00:07:31,510
Ejaaz:
side of this here josh i don't know if you saw but there was also a piece that

119
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:35,050
Ejaaz:
came out from citadel securities which by the way,

120
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,820
Ejaaz:
is the most funniest thing ever because Citadel is like known for making most

121
00:07:39,820 --> 00:07:41,280
Ejaaz:
of their money from shorting stuff.

122
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Ejaaz:
So the fact that they're now like super bullish, this new technology is just

123
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,880
Ejaaz:
kind of hilarious. They must have quite a few long positions open.

124
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,260
Ejaaz:
But yeah, I think overall, the point that's being made here is like NVIDIA is beating its earnings.

125
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,640
Ejaaz:
It's consistently done this for about eight quarters now. Let me repeat that.

126
00:07:56,940 --> 00:08:03,420
Ejaaz:
Around eight quarters. They're up 75% in gross revenue from last year.

127
00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:06,600
Ejaaz:
They've been repeating this for about two years now.

128
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:10,720
Ejaaz:
This train isn't stopping. And I don't know how much longer the doomers can

129
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,460
Ejaaz:
keep saying, hey, I think this is the top.

130
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,760
Ejaaz:
This is the top. This is the end. I just don't think we're there yet.

131
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:19,720
Josh:
What we see is the CapEx spend that we talked about a few weeks ago.

132
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,720
Josh:
Like clearly this is all going to places like NVIDIA. These companies have pledged

133
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,780
Josh:
$650 billion of CapEx spend, which is almost exclusively going to AI buildouts.

134
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,720
Josh:
NVIDIA is going to see a ton of that. These earners are not going to slow down.

135
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,880
Josh:
The build-outs are not going to stop.

136
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,580
Josh:
I mean, it's just a very clear path to moving forward and to continuing this

137
00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:40,160
Josh:
growth. And it's really exciting to be a part of this ride.

138
00:08:40,380 --> 00:08:42,080
Josh:
Another ride that I went on yesterday

139
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,260
Josh:
was with Perplexity saying that they rebuilt the personal computer.

140
00:08:46,620 --> 00:08:49,280
Ejaaz:
Josh, how much did that trigger you, that single sentence?

141
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,780
Josh:
I'm just a little confused because, you know, Perplexity, they've been quiet.

142
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,620
Josh:
We had Arvin, the CEO, as a guest on the show. Feel free to go back and find that interview.

143
00:08:57,820 --> 00:08:59,200
Josh:
It was really interesting because

144
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,480
Josh:
they pivoted the entire company around building an agentic browser.

145
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,740
Josh:
And now it appears like they have expanded from the browser to the entire computer.

146
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:11,440
Josh:
So, Ijaz, I haven't looked into this news entirely. I'm not exactly sure what it is they built.

147
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,440
Josh:
But based on the announcement video, it seems like computer use is actually

148
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,960
Josh:
getting pretty good on perplexity. Is that true?

149
00:09:17,380 --> 00:09:20,820
Ejaaz:
Let's start with the good news. The vision with perplexity computer is number

150
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:24,640
Ejaaz:
one, they didn't rebuild an actual physical computer.

151
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:29,450
Ejaaz:
What they rebuilt was the operating system for a computer.

152
00:09:29,810 --> 00:09:33,890
Ejaaz:
So right now, if you have Windows, you booted up Windows. If you have Mac OS, you have Mac OS.

153
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:38,910
Ejaaz:
What they've tried to do here is build a layer on top of that that unites all

154
00:09:38,910 --> 00:09:42,490
Ejaaz:
the things that you might potentially do on a computer, whether that's coding.

155
00:09:43,010 --> 00:09:46,510
Ejaaz:
Whether that's doing your nine-to-five job, whether it's opening up a browser,

156
00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:48,310
Ejaaz:
whether it's like playing around with a few apps.

157
00:09:48,430 --> 00:09:52,490
Ejaaz:
They've unified it on a single layer called perplexity computer.

158
00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:56,130
Ejaaz:
Why did they do this? Well, their argument is very simple. They're saying,

159
00:09:56,290 --> 00:09:58,930
Ejaaz:
hey, you're using a different model for your browser.

160
00:09:59,150 --> 00:10:00,370
Ejaaz:
You're using a different model to

161
00:10:00,370 --> 00:10:03,930
Ejaaz:
code, using a different model to spin up agents to do your work for you.

162
00:10:04,190 --> 00:10:09,190
Ejaaz:
Let me just bring all of this under one roof and make a single unified experience.

163
00:10:09,550 --> 00:10:13,190
Ejaaz:
So I actually love the vision. And I think that something like this is actually

164
00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:16,430
Ejaaz:
desperately needed in a world where we have open claw.

165
00:10:16,670 --> 00:10:19,610
Ejaaz:
And it's funny, we're just talking about like 10 different open claw variants.

166
00:10:19,730 --> 00:10:22,010
Ejaaz:
We have clawed co-work. I have a million subscriptions.

167
00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:26,390
Ejaaz:
My mind is going crazy. I just want one singular thing that I can like operate on.

168
00:10:26,770 --> 00:10:30,830
Ejaaz:
And this is what that thing supposedly does. It can research,

169
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:34,470
Ejaaz:
design, code, deploy, and manage any project end to end.

170
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:38,130
Ejaaz:
So that sounds good. But the question is, can it actually do it?

171
00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:39,910
Ejaaz:
So I want to go through like a few demos.

172
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:44,330
Ejaaz:
One, which is showing, I think this might be the actual video where it takes

173
00:10:44,330 --> 00:10:48,030
Ejaaz:
a long form video and creates a short form type of content. Do I have that right, Josh?

174
00:10:48,210 --> 00:10:51,110
Josh:
Oh yeah, this is, it's about halfway into this video. It's, it's pretty well

175
00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:54,430
Josh:
done because I've been trying to get this to work with a service like Claude

176
00:10:54,870 --> 00:10:59,010
Josh:
And it doesn't have the ability to edit videos within it.

177
00:10:59,210 --> 00:11:02,850
Josh:
So I think that is a plus one to perplexity where the example that it uses,

178
00:11:02,850 --> 00:11:06,770
Josh:
it's like go to an interview that Dario Mode, the CEO of Anthropocad,

179
00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:09,250
Josh:
and then pull out a specific part and turn it into a clip.

180
00:11:09,410 --> 00:11:13,250
Josh:
And then it actually went and it rendered the clip and it added subtitles and

181
00:11:13,250 --> 00:11:17,190
Josh:
descriptions and it did everything that a producer on a show like ours would do.

182
00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:21,790
Josh:
So that was really interesting. And I think it's exciting to see these companies

183
00:11:21,790 --> 00:11:26,410
Josh:
leaning more into this new AI first operating system because as these ai models

184
00:11:26,410 --> 00:11:29,630
Josh:
are getting better at computer use and anthropic just acquired another company

185
00:11:29,630 --> 00:11:34,390
Josh:
that is exceptional at computer use they're going to continue to kind of rebuild

186
00:11:34,390 --> 00:11:36,850
Josh:
what the computer does but through the ai first lens

187
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:40,640
Josh:
And this seems pretty interesting. Like as someone who hasn't used Perplexity

188
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,140
Josh:
in months, I'm reconsidering maybe I should sign up for a subscription and try this out.

189
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,360
Ejaaz:
Yeah, the way I would describe this is it is open core, but for normies,

190
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,160
Ejaaz:
for the everyday person, you don't have to worry about massive security issues.

191
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:58,860
Ejaaz:
It's a really simple and easy looking interface in terms of like connecting your apps.

192
00:11:59,140 --> 00:12:02,520
Ejaaz:
I think a portion of this data is held privately.

193
00:12:02,940 --> 00:12:05,640
Ejaaz:
The agents are very intuitive to use. You just kind of like prompt them.

194
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,460
Ejaaz:
If you look at one of these demos right here, he says, I'm thinking about buying

195
00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:12,900
Ejaaz:
Walter White's house and turning it into a rental. Please build me a financial model.

196
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:17,220
Ejaaz:
And it just kind of goes off and does its own thing. You don't need to tell it what tool to use.

197
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,340
Ejaaz:
If it requires access to Slack or something, it'll say, hey,

198
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,600
Ejaaz:
can I get access to Slack? You just say, yes, approved.

199
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,540
Ejaaz:
And it just kind of like gets on with it. So I think that's pretty cool.

200
00:12:25,660 --> 00:12:28,980
Ejaaz:
There are also other few demos that I quite enjoyed.

201
00:12:29,140 --> 00:12:32,160
Ejaaz:
So if you're not in the finance world, or maybe you are, but you would have

202
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,980
Ejaaz:
heard of something called Bloomberg Terminal. It is like the mecca.

203
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,980
Ejaaz:
It costs $30,000 a year to access, and you get all the latest,

204
00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:42,840
Ejaaz:
greatest financial news before the public gets it.

205
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:47,280
Ejaaz:
If important financial news breaks, it breaks on Bloomberg Terminal first. It is the mecca.

206
00:12:47,620 --> 00:12:52,160
Ejaaz:
Someone rebuilt it from scratch using perplexity computer, and it took them

207
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,980
Ejaaz:
less than an hour to do so.

208
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,120
Ejaaz:
So you've already automated away $30,000 a

209
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,600
Ejaaz:
year worth of value for the cost of a single prompt and if i look at this interface

210
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,560
Ejaaz:
right here from this demo it actually looks super legit now i don't know what

211
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:14,600
Ejaaz:
ip infringements happen here and like in defense of the non-perplexity computer supporters.

212
00:13:15,050 --> 00:13:18,230
Ejaaz:
We actually kind of did something similar, Josh. I think we,

213
00:13:18,410 --> 00:13:19,790
Ejaaz:
what did we use to build this?

214
00:13:19,870 --> 00:13:25,850
Ejaaz:
We used, oh yeah, we did a test between Cloud Code, Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.3.

215
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:30,170
Ejaaz:
And we said, hey, can you build up an investment tracker analysis app for us?

216
00:13:30,270 --> 00:13:33,590
Ejaaz:
And I did it in a few minutes, but it wasn't to the extent that this thing is.

217
00:13:33,690 --> 00:13:37,470
Ejaaz:
So I think it's just that added layer of an operating system helps you kind

218
00:13:37,470 --> 00:13:42,290
Ejaaz:
of piece together a bunch of different tools and builds a better app or a better

219
00:13:42,290 --> 00:13:45,910
Ejaaz:
tool or a better web experience for versus like prior.

220
00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:48,630
Josh:
Models it'll get you close like what what

221
00:13:48,630 --> 00:13:51,530
Josh:
is this missing well it's missing the real-time news it's missing the

222
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:55,250
Josh:
private chat room so it loses a lot of the value that comes from that thirty

223
00:13:55,250 --> 00:13:59,810
Josh:
thousand dollars or however much it costs but it created an interface that without

224
00:13:59,810 --> 00:14:03,830
Josh:
those added values it actually looks pretty much like a bloomberg terminal and

225
00:14:03,830 --> 00:14:08,170
Josh:
it all the data works all the news tracks all the charts are accurate and it

226
00:14:08,170 --> 00:14:10,350
Josh:
creates this fun dashboard with a single prompt.

227
00:14:10,490 --> 00:14:12,750
Josh:
So perplexity seems like they're onto something.

228
00:14:12,990 --> 00:14:17,410
Josh:
I hope that they are aware that the rest of the industry is also working very

229
00:14:17,410 --> 00:14:19,950
Josh:
hard to doing this. In fact, they might even be there already.

230
00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:23,350
Josh:
And when I'm saying that, I'm referencing Claude Cowork because essentially

231
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:27,470
Josh:
this week they have turned Claude Cowork into OpenClaw one step at a time.

232
00:14:27,750 --> 00:14:32,650
Josh:
And I think this started with news that was discussing scheduled tasks.

233
00:14:32,910 --> 00:14:37,530
Josh:
So a big thing about OpenClaw in particular is that it has a heartbeat and every

234
00:14:37,530 --> 00:14:41,710
Josh:
30 minutes it kind of wakes up and it goes through its tasks and what Claude

235
00:14:41,710 --> 00:14:45,430
Josh:
does now is you can schedule tasks to happen throughout the course of the day.

236
00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:48,650
Josh:
You could ask it for a morning brief, you could ask for weekly updates,

237
00:14:48,830 --> 00:14:52,350
Josh:
for Friday presentations, whatever it may be, it adds these things called

238
00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:59,970
Josh:
cron jobs into the Claude co-work operating system and i think it's it's another step of

239
00:15:00,490 --> 00:15:04,070
Josh:
Claude and Anthropic and a lot of these companies kind of working towards this

240
00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:08,810
Josh:
first operating system in a way that is is very compelling like now i have it

241
00:15:08,810 --> 00:15:12,250
Josh:
do a little morning roundup where in the morning it'll go through all the news

242
00:15:12,250 --> 00:15:15,010
Josh:
that i missed over the night and just give me a couple bullet points to see

243
00:15:15,010 --> 00:15:17,230
Josh:
if there's anything i find interesting it's pretty cool yeah i

244
00:15:17,230 --> 00:15:21,750
Ejaaz:
Mean that's one very essential part of what makes open claw an amazing product

245
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:24,870
Ejaaz:
and the fact that now you have like this kind of sandbox version where you don't

246
00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:28,530
Ejaaz:
need to kind of check for any security risks or anything like that is awesome.

247
00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:31,850
Ejaaz:
That's not the only tool that they launched this week. Like Anthropik's been

248
00:15:31,850 --> 00:15:34,130
Ejaaz:
on a generational run this week alone.

249
00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:36,390
Josh:
It seems like every day they're announcing a new feature.

250
00:15:36,990 --> 00:15:41,510
Ejaaz:
I need them to give me a break because it takes a while to process these things,

251
00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:44,130
Ejaaz:
but they're just shipping every single day at this point. I'm tired, dude.

252
00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:49,230
Ejaaz:
So this new feature is called Remote Control, which is exactly what it sounds

253
00:15:49,230 --> 00:15:54,390
Ejaaz:
like. you can now code using Claude from your phone whilst you're going on a

254
00:15:54,390 --> 00:15:55,730
Ejaaz:
walk, whilst you're walking on the dog.

255
00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:58,330
Ejaaz:
So if you need to get away from a screen,

256
00:15:59,010 --> 00:16:02,450
Ejaaz:
Now, I'm sorry, you're chained, you're ball and chained even when you leave

257
00:16:02,450 --> 00:16:03,370
Ejaaz:
your house at this point.

258
00:16:03,530 --> 00:16:07,330
Ejaaz:
It's really cool because one of the great parts about OpenClaw was the fact

259
00:16:07,330 --> 00:16:11,810
Ejaaz:
that you could lay in bed or communicate with your coding agent or your claw

260
00:16:11,810 --> 00:16:16,790
Ejaaz:
bot from anywhere in the world. And you didn't need to be at your desktop terminal at that specific time.

261
00:16:17,250 --> 00:16:21,130
Ejaaz:
Clawed code and Anthropic prior to this announcement required you to do so.

262
00:16:21,370 --> 00:16:24,070
Ejaaz:
Now you don't need to be able to do that. So now when you combine this with

263
00:16:24,070 --> 00:16:28,370
Ejaaz:
the autonomous cron jobs that you just mentioned, Josh, you start to see what

264
00:16:28,370 --> 00:16:29,090
Ejaaz:
the vision is going to be.

265
00:16:29,190 --> 00:16:31,870
Ejaaz:
And it looks something very similar to OpenClaw.

266
00:16:32,050 --> 00:16:35,670
Ejaaz:
But to go back to the original form of Anthropic announcements,

267
00:16:36,050 --> 00:16:38,190
Ejaaz:
they typically announce, I don't know, what is it?

268
00:16:38,310 --> 00:16:43,770
Ejaaz:
One to three new plugins for Clawed in general, Cowork specifically, maybe every week.

269
00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:50,770
Ejaaz:
And it results in a, I saw a stat here, it results in a 10 to 35% stock decline

270
00:16:50,770 --> 00:16:54,910
Ejaaz:
of any company that currently has the winning leading software,

271
00:16:55,070 --> 00:16:59,810
Ejaaz:
because now Clawed has automated that entirely. and we have a new one this week. That's crazy.

272
00:16:59,910 --> 00:17:03,830
Josh:
We need to pause there for a second to just to acknowledge how powerful Anthropic

273
00:17:03,830 --> 00:17:09,090
Josh:
has become, where a single tweet and a single feature unlock has the ability

274
00:17:09,090 --> 00:17:11,790
Josh:
to move markets billions, maybe tens of billions of dollars.

275
00:17:12,110 --> 00:17:15,870
Josh:
And what I find funny and ironic before we get into what happened this week

276
00:17:15,870 --> 00:17:20,150
Josh:
with the news is that it seems as if this is a power only Anthropic holds.

277
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:27,190
Josh:
If ChatGPT announced something similar to this, I'm not sure it has the impact of anthropic and quad.

278
00:17:27,410 --> 00:17:29,930
Josh:
And I think that's worth acknowledging is because they haven't.

279
00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:33,440
Josh:
They haven't. Yeah, we haven't seen this. And I think it's worth acknowledging

280
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,100
Josh:
because Anthropic very clearly is seen as not only a powerhouse,

281
00:17:37,220 --> 00:17:41,100
Josh:
but a real threat to a lot of institutions, a lot of companies that have been

282
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:42,420
Josh:
kind of grounded in their ways.

283
00:17:42,580 --> 00:17:45,260
Josh:
And this example this week, I love, it's so funny.

284
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,340
Josh:
So please share with us what the hell happened with this new post that knocked

285
00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:52,740
Josh:
a certain company off the grid.

286
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:58,300
Ejaaz:
Okay. So there are many different types of programming languages and one very

287
00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:02,580
Ejaaz:
important and I guess essential programming language for the business world

288
00:18:02,580 --> 00:18:06,880
Ejaaz:
for data processing specifically is known as COBOL, C-O-B-O-L.

289
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,860
Ejaaz:
It stands for Common Business Oriented Language.

290
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,640
Ejaaz:
And one particular company called IBM has held the monopoly on this.

291
00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:18,020
Ejaaz:
And the reason why they've held the monopoly on this is that it's quite a complex

292
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:19,720
Ejaaz:
programming language to understand.

293
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:22,300
Ejaaz:
You need to kind of like learn how the different tools work.

294
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,880
Ejaaz:
Then you need to adopt how the language actually fits to your business. it's a whole process.

295
00:18:27,060 --> 00:18:30,840
Ejaaz:
IBM walks you through hand in hand and figures it out for you,

296
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,980
Ejaaz:
and they charge you a premium price to be able to do that.

297
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,940
Ejaaz:
Until two days ago, when Anthropic announced that they had launched a single

298
00:18:38,940 --> 00:18:43,680
Ejaaz:
plugin that was coded from scratch using Claude Code, and it does all of that

299
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,780
Ejaaz:
for you, for the cost of a single prompt.

300
00:18:46,980 --> 00:18:50,880
Ejaaz:
The news wasn't too great. IBM stock, it says here it dumped 10%.

301
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,980
Ejaaz:
It actually dumped 15% within an hour of that tweet going live.

302
00:18:56,260 --> 00:18:59,320
Ejaaz:
Just insane to see. And this isn't the first time Anthropic has done this.

303
00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:03,640
Ejaaz:
They announced a legal plugin about a week and a half ago, and all law stocks

304
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,840
Ejaaz:
dumped about 30 billion dollars just insane.

305
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,660
Josh:
That's a huge amount of money that's blown and i

306
00:19:08,660 --> 00:19:11,500
Josh:
think it's it's a testament to kind of where things are going right it's

307
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:15,120
Josh:
ibm makes so much money because cobalt is such a old outdated

308
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:18,020
Josh:
protocol that no one really supports no

309
00:19:18,020 --> 00:19:21,860
Josh:
one really understands how it works they're maintaining dinosaur code and now

310
00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:25,160
Josh:
anthropic comes in and says we're not like humans we don't get tired we don't

311
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,400
Josh:
get bored we will actually just go and work with your cobalt code and fix things

312
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,120
Josh:
and that knocked 15 that's a huge amount of money and that's still not the extent

313
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:37,740
Josh:
of all the philanthropic news this week because there is another security implementation.

314
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,520
Josh:
So if I remember correctly, when they announced Opus, maybe it's 4.6,

315
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,380
Josh:
they announced it with the fact that

316
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,000
Josh:
it found 500 zero-day vulnerabilities in code.

317
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,060
Josh:
Correct. Meaning that there is existing code bases out there that have exploits.

318
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,900
Josh:
It uncovered 500 of them just via the AI model itself.

319
00:19:57,060 --> 00:20:00,440
Josh:
And now what they're doing, it seems, is they're kind of reversing that and

320
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,640
Josh:
allowing you to have the tools to play defense against Claw's own hacking abilities. Is that right?

321
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,340
Ejaaz:
Yeah, I actually think that it might have been Codex 5.3 from OpenAI,

322
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,100
Ejaaz:
but the fact is like both models can do the same thing.

323
00:20:12,260 --> 00:20:16,440
Ejaaz:
And these coding models are getting so good finding the vulnerabilities that

324
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,100
Ejaaz:
humans are very prone to implementing in their own code.

325
00:20:20,460 --> 00:20:23,420
Ejaaz:
And these vulnerabilities, by the way, can be exploited for billions of dollars.

326
00:20:23,580 --> 00:20:27,660
Ejaaz:
I'm not like underselling this. Like if you are a multi-billion dollar company,

327
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,900
Ejaaz:
a hundred billion dollars plus, right?

328
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:33,020
Ejaaz:
And you have security floor that gives people access to personal data or back

329
00:20:33,020 --> 00:20:37,300
Ejaaz:
account information, that could be a really large financial and legal risk for

330
00:20:37,300 --> 00:20:39,480
Ejaaz:
you. So it's very important that you patch these things up.

331
00:20:39,620 --> 00:20:45,880
Ejaaz:
But the issue is humans, well, number one, need to be an expert in that specific

332
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,340
Ejaaz:
code base in order to find those specific flaws.

333
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,880
Ejaaz:
So there's only usually about three to five people in any of these big companies that can do that.

334
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,460
Ejaaz:
So there's a heavy risk point there, where if those people leave the company,

335
00:20:58,460 --> 00:21:03,360
Ejaaz:
or they decide to like go focus on something else, you now have an open risk.

336
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:09,200
Ejaaz:
Claude announced this new tool called Claude Code Security, which now does this for you.

337
00:21:09,340 --> 00:21:14,540
Ejaaz:
It scans your entire code repository in about 10 to 30 minutes.

338
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:19,720
Ejaaz:
It understands the nuance and the way that you wrote this code,

339
00:21:20,060 --> 00:21:22,020
Ejaaz:
the context with your business, et cetera, et cetera.

340
00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:25,200
Ejaaz:
And then it finds all the security flaws for you.

341
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:29,140
Ejaaz:
Typically, this would have taken a team of five to 10 people months,

342
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:31,280
Ejaaz:
or it's like a recurring thing.

343
00:21:31,420 --> 00:21:35,820
Ejaaz:
And now you can just run a single prompt like every 30 minutes or every week,

344
00:21:35,820 --> 00:21:38,580
Ejaaz:
and it'll discover all the flaws for you, but it gets even better.

345
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:45,820
Ejaaz:
It proposes the solution that you need to fix in order to resolve that security issue.

346
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:49,320
Ejaaz:
It doesn't go to the extent where it writes up the fix for you,

347
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,160
Ejaaz:
although you can definitely say like, hey, okay, that sounds good,

348
00:21:52,420 --> 00:21:55,540
Ejaaz:
build the fix for me, because they wanted to maintain the human in the loop.

349
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,940
Ejaaz:
But if you can imagine, if the AI is already good enough to find the flaws and

350
00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:03,260
Ejaaz:
create the fix for the flaws, you might just let this thing run autonomously for you.

351
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,260
Ejaaz:
Now, let me ask you this, how much is that product worth for your business?

352
00:22:07,260 --> 00:22:09,780
Ejaaz:
It's probably like tens of billions of dollars, if not more.

353
00:22:09,940 --> 00:22:13,960
Josh:
They're just continuing to snipe and cherry pick the value from every existing

354
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,180
Josh:
company until it's all in one. It's amazing the amount that they're absorbing in the market.

355
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:21,880
Josh:
We have a few things left to cover this week that I kind of want to go through quickly.

356
00:22:22,180 --> 00:22:24,720
Josh:
The first one being the XAI Pentagon deal.

357
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:30,240
Josh:
XAI and Grok is now powering Pentagon's AI technology. And we had a crazy sentence.

358
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:32,820
Josh:
This is like a strange narrative timeline that we're running.

359
00:22:32,940 --> 00:22:35,680
Josh:
And we had an episode earlier this week that I would recommend checking out

360
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,040
Josh:
about Anthropic and their kind of difficulties they've been having in dealing

361
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,940
Josh:
with the government because they seemingly don't want to give access to all

362
00:22:43,940 --> 00:22:47,300
Josh:
of the ways in which the Pentagon wants to use it.

363
00:22:47,420 --> 00:22:50,940
Josh:
But it appears as if Grok and XAI did not have this problem.

364
00:22:51,140 --> 00:22:55,020
Josh:
And the plan is that they're going to fully integrate Grok starting later this

365
00:22:55,020 --> 00:22:57,980
Josh:
month into military operations. What those are, I don't know.

366
00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:00,460
Josh:
I'm not sure we'll ever find out. But I just find it interesting...

367
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:06,440
Josh:
That there is a new kind of role in government here for AI Labs and Grok is

368
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,420
Josh:
now going to be one of the front runners here.

369
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,340
Josh:
This comes on the back of, I mean, more drama with Anthropic, right?

370
00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:15,420
Josh:
It was after we recorded the episode, there was still even more.

371
00:23:15,580 --> 00:23:21,040
Josh:
I mean, apparently Anthropic has an ultimatum where by Friday they have to either

372
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,340
Josh:
decide if they're going to comply with the Pentagon's request or not.

373
00:23:25,460 --> 00:23:29,120
Josh:
And if they don't, what's at stake here for Anthropic?

374
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:32,780
Ejaaz:
So there's this thing I'm highlighting here called the Defense Production Act.

375
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,980
Ejaaz:
The Pentagon basically has two options if Anthropik refuses.

376
00:23:36,060 --> 00:23:41,300
Ejaaz:
On Friday, they can force their hand, initiating the Defense Production Act to basically say,

377
00:23:41,780 --> 00:23:44,980
Ejaaz:
sorry, you legally now need to give me an uncensored version,

378
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,780
Ejaaz:
even though you declined, because it is now the official law and it's a case

379
00:23:48,780 --> 00:23:52,300
Ejaaz:
of national state security, which, by the way, is an insane thing.

380
00:23:52,540 --> 00:23:58,160
Ejaaz:
Or they can take option two, which is blacklist Anthropik and all of their models

381
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,080
Ejaaz:
as a security risk to the nation,

382
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,460
Ejaaz:
which means that Anthropic probably ceases to receive any kind of government

383
00:24:06,460 --> 00:24:09,720
Ejaaz:
funding or regulatory support in the future.

384
00:24:09,980 --> 00:24:13,380
Ejaaz:
And it also pushes up all the other models that have signed partnerships with

385
00:24:13,380 --> 00:24:14,700
Ejaaz:
the Pentagon, such as Grok.

386
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,960
Ejaaz:
And I hear OpenAI and Google is doing the same as well.

387
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:21,800
Ejaaz:
The sentiment has been split on this, Josh. I've seen both sides.

388
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,260
Ejaaz:
One saying Anthropic just needs to wisen up. And I think that was a lot of the

389
00:24:25,260 --> 00:24:27,320
Ejaaz:
argument that we gave on our episode earlier this week. Again,

390
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,440
Ejaaz:
please go check it out. Let us know if you think we're wrong.

391
00:24:29,620 --> 00:24:32,400
Ejaaz:
But then the other side, like I saw Jeff Dean tweet this morning.

392
00:24:32,820 --> 00:24:38,120
Ejaaz:
Jeff Dean is like the guy from Google. He built so many of Google's key products.

393
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,340
Ejaaz:
And he said, I like that Anthropics taking a stand and it's important that they don't violate,

394
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,500
Ejaaz:
I think is what the first amendment or whatever it is where you can't surveil

395
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:49,260
Ejaaz:
all Americans. And I respect the fourth, the fourth.

396
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,140
Josh:
Yeah. It's seems heavy handed, right? Like I can understand not working with

397
00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:58,400
Josh:
them, but putting them on a blacklist seems a bit extortive,

398
00:24:58,660 --> 00:25:00,360
Josh:
especially when there's other options. Yeah.

399
00:25:00,460 --> 00:25:03,040
Ejaaz:
Well, here's the thing, like the government's favorite model.

400
00:25:03,220 --> 00:25:04,720
Ejaaz:
And Pete said this himself,

401
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,360
Ejaaz:
the head of the Pentagon, he said that Claude is the best model and they've

402
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:12,920
Ejaaz:
been using it for over a year now so you can imagine if claude has been trained

403
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,340
Ejaaz:
with all your employees it's been entrenched on your data you kind of don't

404
00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:19,800
Ejaaz:
want to rip that out and then like train a new model from scratch so,

405
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,560
Ejaaz:
Antarmic has everything to win and lose here.

406
00:25:23,260 --> 00:25:26,200
Josh:
Yeah, it's interesting because I'm sure we're missing a lot of context too,

407
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:28,580
Josh:
due to just the general private nature of how these deals work.

408
00:25:28,780 --> 00:25:33,100
Josh:
So it's going to be tough to really give an honest opinion because I'm sure

409
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:34,980
Josh:
we're missing a lot of data, but interesting nonetheless.

410
00:25:35,340 --> 00:25:38,500
Josh:
And congrats to XAI and the team for getting a new contract.

411
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:46,680
Josh:
Last winner of the week, AMD. Oh my God, 15% jump in one day on a Meta deal.

412
00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:52,380
Josh:
Meta is now working with AMD. I thought Meta was working with NVIDIA. That's what I thought.

413
00:25:52,540 --> 00:25:56,780
Ejaaz:
But no, they signed a new $6 billion compute partnership.

414
00:25:56,980 --> 00:26:00,920
Ejaaz:
And remember, it's not a deal now. It's just, we're specifically calling it partnerships.

415
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,800
Ejaaz:
These are crazy. Yeah, it's insane. The circular economy is back.

416
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:10,260
Ejaaz:
The nature of the deal is basically Meta doesn't want to rely solely on NVIDIA

417
00:26:10,260 --> 00:26:12,960
Ejaaz:
chips, although NVIDIA is the big boy here.

418
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:17,120
Ejaaz:
So they want to diversify their compute arsenal so that if anything were to

419
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:20,980
Ejaaz:
happen to NVIDIA or any of the other chip makers, they can still stay alive

420
00:26:20,980 --> 00:26:22,880
Ejaaz:
and feed their product to you.

421
00:26:23,260 --> 00:26:28,180
Ejaaz:
Now, Meta has been out of the kind of news for a while because their models

422
00:26:28,180 --> 00:26:31,400
Ejaaz:
weren't able to keep up and they spent about, what was it?

423
00:26:31,540 --> 00:26:36,120
Ejaaz:
Like a hundred to maybe $200 billion to hire like something ridiculous,

424
00:26:36,260 --> 00:26:39,820
Ejaaz:
like 50 people in their new AI team and they have had nothing to show for it.

425
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,700
Ejaaz:
Rumor says they're meant to be releasing a new model in a few weeks time.

426
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,760
Ejaaz:
Avocado is the code name. and so if that is all it's hyped up to be then they're

427
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,400
Ejaaz:
going to need all the data center compute that they can and they seem to be

428
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,640
Ejaaz:
sure that amd will be the ones to be one of the main providers for them so they've

429
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,080
Ejaaz:
locked in that deal they're building out data centers and yeah amd stock jumped

430
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,340
Ejaaz:
15 absolutely insane well.

431
00:27:02,340 --> 00:27:06,440
Josh:
Happy for all parties involved i think one thing throughout the episode there's

432
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,640
Josh:
a central theme in which there is no amount that can satiate the demand And

433
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,920
Josh:
for AI compute and energy and electricity.

434
00:27:14,580 --> 00:27:18,220
Josh:
And like, I'm sure Meta would prefer to work with NVIDIA.

435
00:27:18,810 --> 00:27:21,570
Josh:
This is the option that they have because they need GPUs they

436
00:27:21,570 --> 00:27:24,550
Josh:
need compute they need energy and they have no choice so

437
00:27:24,550 --> 00:27:27,930
Josh:
we are going to continue this run this

438
00:27:27,930 --> 00:27:30,650
Josh:
generational run that we've had really in the world of AI

439
00:27:30,650 --> 00:27:34,090
Josh:
it doesn't seem like the top is in it doesn't seem like the top is anywhere near

440
00:27:34,090 --> 00:27:37,150
Josh:
and that leaves me optimistic and wanting to continue to deploy

441
00:27:37,150 --> 00:27:40,510
Josh:
capital into this ever-changing absolutely outrageous

442
00:27:40,510 --> 00:27:43,470
Josh:
market but that is another week of the AI

443
00:27:43,470 --> 00:27:46,250
Josh:
roundup I hope you guys enjoyed this one I hope you enjoyed all the

444
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:49,090
Josh:
episodes this week if you missed any they're pretty short normally 20 to

445
00:27:49,090 --> 00:27:51,890
Josh:
25 minutes we talked about uh google had some pretty

446
00:27:51,890 --> 00:27:54,830
Josh:
amazing tools where now we can create songs and jingles for

447
00:27:54,830 --> 00:27:57,810
Josh:
the podcast we talked about anthropic at length and

448
00:27:57,810 --> 00:28:00,830
Josh:
now we have this kind of roundup that is covering just about anything

449
00:28:00,830 --> 00:28:03,690
Josh:
that you would need if you don't feel satiated we

450
00:28:03,690 --> 00:28:07,230
Josh:
have a second form of content which is the newsletter every wednesday

451
00:28:07,230 --> 00:28:09,910
Josh:

452
00:28:09,910 --> 00:28:15,550
Josh:
