0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>In joining us.

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 3>And you know last night when this was blowing up,

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 3>I said get me Mandeep saying.

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 2>You'll join us in a bit here.

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 3>But aniog Rana joins us now from Chicago with a

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.520
<v Speaker 3>little different take than Mandeep. More on the cloud, more

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 3>on the systems analysis, if you will. Of these big companies,

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 3>man Anerog, thank you so much for joining.

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 2>You don't do biholed sell.

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 3>But would you suggest the cell side will shift opinion today.

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 4>For the cloud providers?

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so because, as you know Paul just

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 5>mentioned about the tweet from my ACOFT CEO, he's probably

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 5>a little bit happier because for him, if the cost

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 5>curve goes down in the long run, and we don't

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 5>know if that's going to happen, you know, his adoption

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 5>rate goes up and his CAPEX goes down.

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 4>So it's it's you know, in a roundabout way.

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 5>Now, we don't think there is going to be an

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 5>impact on CAPEX in the near term, but in the

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 5>long run, if that just shifts, you know, it helps

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 5>their profitability. But more important to that the enterprise you know,

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 5>you could say take create on AI adoption goes up the.

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Theme this morning, Paul's been great about this is like

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 3>drunken sailors from where in Anerich you're just world class

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 3>at this. Are they drunken sailors in terms of CAPEX?

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Or is there a plan? Is there a sequence? Is

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.839
<v Speaker 3>there a pace to spending billions?

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 5>So one of the things, if you would say, is

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 5>if if this AI adoption curve, which is absolutely in

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 5>infancy right now, the only thing we have seen is

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 5>in the consumer world, if enterprises start to put this

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 5>in their core app locations, then they would need a

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 5>lot more you could say, firepower to run it. Most

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 5>of the things that we have discussed is people would

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 5>not want to do this on their own premise. They're

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 5>bigger companies will but most of them will go to

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 5>a handful of cloud providers, and that would be Microsoft, Aws,

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 5>Google and then Oracle. So for all these companies to

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 5>increase their capacity now they are only seeing the orders

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:28.359
<v Speaker 5>and based on that they are expanding their data center footwork.

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 4>The question is whether do.

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 5>They need the expensive chips to do with this or

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 5>can they run this in with cheaper chips. And that's

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 5>really I think the biggest discussion going to be over

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 5>the next twelve months.

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 6>An raglick Tom has often want to say, my head

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 6>is spinning here. Just since Friday. I've got a big,

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 6>big tech company called Meta I call it Facebook given

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 6>the IPO. We spent a lot of time thinking about

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 6>that name in the tech the ticker FB. They up

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.640
<v Speaker 6>their cap x from fifty billion to sixty five billion,

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 6>a large part on AI. Now I've got this Deep

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 6>Seek thinking about I can do this in.

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 7>Much lower costs. How do we square those two things?

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but one thing is for sure, this Deep Seek

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 5>news of the paper has been out for a while,

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 5>so it does got It did get publicized over the

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 5>last few days. But I'd be very surprised if Meta

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 5>AWS and Microsoft did not know about this. It has

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 5>been around for a while, so both of them, both

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 5>Meta and Microsoft talked about their capex last week after

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 5>knowing this news, so you know they have moved.

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.079
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they're far smarter than I am when it

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 4>comes to this.

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 5>So if they're taking up their Capex, I mean there

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 5>must be a real need for it.

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 3>What's it mean for Coopertino there having an early morning?

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 3>They don't have lotes at Coopertino? They got something, Lisa.

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 3>What's the thing with the green powder in it?

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>The machi?

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah matter, they're having the machiat Coopertino some undrinkable bilge.

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 3>What are they saying at Apple today?

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 5>They're actually smiling and saying, you guys fight it out

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 5>and tell me what's the best large language model out there.

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 5>I'll just put it in my phone and I won't

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 5>even pay for it. So they if you just look

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 5>at you know, Apple right now, that's kind of the

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 5>safety haven for people is they're not spending that capex.

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 5>If you look at that Capex line, it hasn't moved

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 5>at all in two years, and the free cash slow

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 5>just keep on coming. Their issue, honestly, is more so

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 5>on the you know, the growth side. They are having

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 5>challenges in China that needs to you know, smoothened out

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 5>over the next twelve months. Otherwise this is going to

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 5>be another year for them. To grow only four five percent.

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 5>That's the big issue for them. Nothing to do with AI.

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 6>All right, Well, let's just stay on the Apple story.

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 6>It stocks down eleven percent year to date this year,

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 6>it's only a fifteen percent over the trailing twelve months,

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 6>which is radical on the performance. And for a company

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 6>like Apple, is there a bulkcase here short term?

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 7>For Apple?

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 5>In the short term, it's very difficult to come up

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 5>with the bulkcase because, as we talked about it, even

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 5>you know a few months ago, Apple Intelligence is not

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 5>going to be out in other parts of the world.

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 5>It's not out in China, and China is where they

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 5>are struggling honestly at this and they need to come

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 5>out and pacify investors that you know, we have a

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 5>strategy in China, we will gain market share back. Otherwise

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 5>this is going to be another mut the year for them.

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 5>We think the next phone, which is the one that's

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 5>coming out in September, I know that's fa I think

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 5>that's the big catalyst, but that's like, you know, that's

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 5>eight months out, nine months out.

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 3>Right, and Agrana with us in Chicago right now. We

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 3>welcome all of you on your commute across the Nation.

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 3>For those of you in the office at home on YouTube,

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 3>thank you for being on youtubday. Just brilliant live chat

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 3>of learning a lot from people smarter than me on

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 3>the YouTube live chat this morning. Subscribe at Bloomberg Podcast.

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 3>That's the best way to get to the show out there.

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 3>This is a rare privilege. And for senior management listening

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 3>on radio right now. We adhere to their policy which

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 3>is Ana Agarana and man Deep Sing can never be

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 3>in the same ruct together. It's too much worse to

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 3>the to the franchise. But Paul, why don't you bring

0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 3>in man Deep Sing?

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>As we talked to both and Ruana and.

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 6>Mandy man Deep Seeing covers the technology space along with

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 6>Ana rog Rana, there are two leaders globally running our

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 6>technology franchise and it is a global franchise analyst in Europe,

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 6>Asia and North America. Man Deep, But I guess what

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 6>we're hearing such Antela from Microsoft put out something that hey,

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 6>cost coming down is pretty natural for the technology space.

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 6>That happens, and it's a good thing because it helps adoption.

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 8>Does that make sense to you, Well, clearly, I think

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 8>the investor expectations were different, which is why you see

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 8>this sort of stock reaction.

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 7>So yes, we.

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 8>Have Moore's law and we have other laws in terms

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 8>of figuring out how the cost curve may look like

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 8>over time. But clearly this is a step change in

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 8>terms of, you know, what you can do with the

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 8>existing chips that are out there, as well as what

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 8>you will need going forward. So I think this is

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 8>a big moment in terms of just that we can

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 8>see with these chips and the kind of scale that

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 8>is required for the next versions of these foundational models.

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 8>But there is no doubt that this makes generative AI

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 8>more accessible to software companies as well as you know,

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 8>overall users.

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 6>Anrak, what do you think this means to you know,

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 6>I know you guys at Bloomberg Intelligence you have access

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 6>to this I d C data, which is some of

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 6>the best data on technology spending in the marketplace, and

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 6>you guys feature that in your research. Is this going

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 6>to change i DC's forecast of tech spending?

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 7>AI spending? Do you think so?

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 5>AI spending has been going up, Paul, We've talked about

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 5>this a few times, but it's the other non AI

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 5>spending that has actually not done so well in the

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 5>last two years and over the next I would say month,

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 5>month and a half, we will get a much clearer

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 5>picture if corporations or enterprises are moving up there over

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 5>our tech budgets or not, because right now AI spending

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 5>is coming at the expense of areas you know, normal

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 5>software or you know, just bording hardware upgrades or consulting

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 5>that really needs to pick up because a large portion

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 5>of the tech ecosystem is some of those companies.

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 7>Mande.

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 6>If I think when I think of this news today again,

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 6>I'm like everybody else. Our listeners and viewers are learning

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 6>about deep Seek and what it means. I can't help

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 6>but think about TikTok at some point. Again, I feel

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 6>like by the end of business today, we're gonna have

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 6>a story coming into Washington. There's gonna be an opinion

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 6>coming from Washington as it relates to deep Seek. Does

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 6>oppose a similar risks? Do you think to TikTok from

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 6>a regulator's perspective, Well.

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 8>It's still the app is still you know, early in

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 8>terms of adoption, and look, I'm sure it's got millions

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 8>of users in East Asia and you know, China and whatnot.

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 8>But I think when it comes to AI consumers, just

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 8>look at the functionality, and you know the fact that

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 8>they have an app wage is accessible for free as

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 8>opposed to paying two hundred dollars a month, they'll end

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.959
<v Speaker 8>up using it. So it's the same argument with TikTok.

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 8>You know they will go with the functionality. They don't

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 8>care about the privacy and.

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 3>The data man keep saying with us and ana ug Runa,

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 3>we continue anerog, let's go to earnings. Let's like remove

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 3>ourselves from deep seek. What is the character of the

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 3>cloud mystery that you see in the earning season, Aniog.

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we are anticipating in improvement in growth rates for

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 5>both Microsoft and AWS going in. In fact, Microsoft, we

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 5>are hoping they come out and increase their guidance for

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Azure numbers for the next two quarters. They have been

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 5>struggling with supply challenges where they are not able to

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 5>fulfill the demand that's coming in in their data centers,

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 5>and if they give that signal that you know, that

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 5>should revive or pacify some of the fears that we

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.200
<v Speaker 5>are seeing right now in the market. Same thing for

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 5>a WS AWS has been talking about a recovery in

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 5>consumption for their core business looking forward to some comments

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 5>sometimes as well from them.

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 4>So I'm hopeful that.

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 5>Both companies will come up with good numbers over the

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 5>next you know, ten days.

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 3>But let's say it's not like you know, Procter and Gamble.

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 3>It's not a unit and price store hit the revenue line.

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 3>But where is the fear in the earning season analog

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 3>on the income statement. Is it a margin fear, a

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.599
<v Speaker 3>revenue fear, or something I don't understand.

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 5>I think it's going to be a backlock slash revenue

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 5>fear more than the margins, because everybody understands this is

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 5>a very you know, unique business. When you have a

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 5>fixed cost business like this, you can scale it up

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 5>in the near town, but once you reach a mature face,

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, all the revenue comes back, or you can

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 5>distribute that over a very large platform.

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 4>That has been the case for Cloud over the last

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:45.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, ten years.

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 5>So in an expansion of capacity, people don't really you know,

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 5>see that as a big issue in the near town

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 5>man Deep.

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 6>Last Friday, Meta took their capex guidance from fifty billion,

0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.560
<v Speaker 6>which was consensus, which was kind of guidance, to sixty

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 6>five billion. I've never seen that before. In order of magnitude,

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 6>what's going on there.

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:11.199
<v Speaker 8>Well, and I guess they probably knew this deep Seek advancement,

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 8>so it's not as if, you know, they were cut

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 8>off guard with the deep Seek release, so they did

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 8>it despite the you know, the whole thing around deep Seek.

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 8>So to my mind, you know, every company is doubling

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 8>down on AI right now, even though we are talking

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 8>about pricing, compression and whatnot. But this is the moment

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 8>where generative AI will be incorporated in all software, all applications,

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 8>and every company wants a piece of it, so they

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.839
<v Speaker 8>don't mind spending more on County in.

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 3>The room a ROD does a public one AI. Is

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 3>there any interest that Lisa Mateo is waiting and waiting

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 3>and waiting for AI.

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 5>See, the thing is that the consumers have already embraced

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 5>it through chat, GPT, through Gemini, through Perplexity. But when

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 5>you look at the enterprise use case, we are still

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 5>in the building phase. And that's probably this year is

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 5>going to be like next year, we should see a

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 5>much fostered adoption by companies in terms of and that

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.839
<v Speaker 5>you said will show up in cloud numbers right now.

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 5>Even when you look for somebody like a Microsoft, most

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 5>of their AI revenue is from consumer app, which is

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 5>basically open AI is shock GPT.

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 7>So all right, Tom, we like to talk to anog.

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you like Ludlow this morning?

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 8>No?

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 6>You just I mean we're likes will be Bloomberg Tech exactly.

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, can you get the shoes with the White Souls?

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 7>Yes, that's what David shoes.

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 2>No, you weren't shoes of the White Souls.

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 5>No, No, old school.

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 6>And Tom, you know Man Deep and Hon they're pretty good.

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.319
<v Speaker 6>But the research, the real investment research on this whole

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 6>Deep seek Chinese AI.

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 7>Robert Lee. These are Bloomberg intelligence analysts in Hong Kong.

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 6>So folks who have access to the Bloomberg terminal go

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:57.679
<v Speaker 6>there because Man Deep and they're just he was out

0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 6>with research a couple of months ago on this and

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 6>he says, hey, this stuff is there.

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 3>You know Lea in Uh in Hong Kong was way

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 3>out front of this. Why are we stunned this morning?

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.199
<v Speaker 8>Well because he didn't found the table in terms of saying,

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 8>my god, the table we're negative?

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Where are we negative? Three point five percent? In YAC

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 3>right now? What I mean, let's bring it back to

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 3>what happened. Why were we surprised.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 8>By this, No, I don't think you are surprised because

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 8>open source has been talked about a lot. We have

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 8>been talking about how companies are looking to you know,

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 8>drive scaling uh at inference time, and how pricing was

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 8>a constraint, and so look, this is the way the

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 8>industry was headed. It's just that Deep Sea came out

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.839
<v Speaker 8>with a you know, a long paper that describes what

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 8>they did in detail, and everyone else is kind of

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 8>closed source. So being open source has its advantages, and

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 8>that's what we're seeing with deep Seat here.

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 6>So the baniers to entry here on ROD just in general,

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 6>on AI are the banished entry low for AI.

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.079
<v Speaker 5>I think that's exactly what this paper that Mandep is

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 5>alluding to is talking about. That you and I can

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 5>go out and build some of this thing without much capital.

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 5>Now the question is how are you going to distribute it?

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 5>And which is why I go back to the cloud

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 5>providers that those are the guys who are going to

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 5>work with enterprises to embed some of this technology. If

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 5>you look at somebody like an AWS, they work with

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 5>all these providers, they work with Meta Islama model or

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 5>Anthropics cloud models. So it's really up to the customer

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 5>which model they choose or sometimes they would write the

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 5>reroute the inquiry based on what's better for that particular question.

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 4>So it's really the distribution.

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 5>What I'm saying is is the value here which takes

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 5>us back to the cloud providers and also do Apple.

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 3>This has been fun erragran and your trooper to get

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 3>up this early in Chicago aner Agroana with Bloomberg Intelligence

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 3>at Man Deep saying, can we say on behalf of

0:14:58.680 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 3>all of us?

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Mandep, thank you much.

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we'll try not to do it three times tomorrow,

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 3>maybe once, or maybe we'll see.

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 2>A Wednesday or whatever.

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Man Deep sing and enter Agrana. Is what the show

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 3>is about, just world class on tech analogy.

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.960

<v Speaker 2>We Get Lucky.

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 3>Joe Wisenthal has done so much for Bloomberg, I should say,

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 3>for business journalism, and of course it's work here at

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Bloomberg with Tracy Alloway. But one of the great things

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 3>is he did Paul, he you know, I'm like a

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 3>I E I E I O. Joe's actually doing it,

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 3>he said, no, but but nobody. He looked at the

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 3>summer tour of Light Sweet Crude and said, I can't

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 3>do the Light Sweet Crude analysis without AI. You three

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 3>days ago you nailed deep Seek. You're using it at home. Yeah,

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 3>what's the experience of deep Sea?

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 9>So I'll just see the main There are two main

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 9>takeaways for me. One is I have never experienced any

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 9>technology in the history of any tech, computers, apps, whatever,

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 9>that have zero switching.

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 7>Costs the way AI chatbots have.

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 9>I used Chad GBT for a long time. Claude came out,

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 9>the one from Anthropic, I was like, oh, this works Gemini.

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 9>I used Gemini now that for some reason, that one

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 9>hasn't sucking as much then I. But then deep Sea

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 9>came out and I said, or I saw the chap

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 9>out last week online and I was like, I'm gonna

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 9>try this out. It took me thirty seconds to register,

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 9>and I was like, this is just as good as

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 9>what I'm getting from Chad. You know, I ask at

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 9>random things during the day and.

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 2>It's just zerop radio. It's all, you know.

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 9>I asked a random historical questions or linguistic I'm interested

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 9>in Lenco, like.

0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Why did Texas lose to Ohio? No, I can't. That's

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 2>too painful. I don't ask that.

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 9>But then the other thing is I made a twenty

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 9>twenty five one of my New Year's resolutions. Yep, I've

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 9>never I said I'm going to try and code something

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.159
<v Speaker 9>with AI one of my goals. Yeah, And so I

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 9>started like building a little software. But I just asking

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.480
<v Speaker 9>to create this code, and uh, I was able to

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 9>plug my app that I'm building on my home. It's

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 9>a little linguistics app into the Deepseek API, and it's

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 9>like a fraction of the cost of what I use

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 9>for the open AI API. So, like I just played

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:30.920
<v Speaker 9>around with it. I was like, Wow, here's this thing

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 9>that seems just as good as changchipyt. Sorry, here's this thing.

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 2>That seems just good changing formosa.

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 6>So yes, I'm not surprised that, Like, all right, the

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 6>dumb question there, Yeah, are we not using Google anymore

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 6>because of this?

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 10>No?

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.719
<v Speaker 9>I still well, look it is you know, like I

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 9>still do. I still use Google all the time. I

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 9>still use Wikipedia all the time. They're just different.

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.679
<v Speaker 7>But what's your initial go to, oh, I need to

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:56.440
<v Speaker 7>know about this.

0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 9>I think it really depends on the context. I say,

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:05.399
<v Speaker 9>I really like using AI for things like understanding a

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 9>term within a specific context or something like that or something.

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 9>But you know, like you don't know if it's true,

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.640
<v Speaker 9>So you know, I always do a backup. I see

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 9>something and then I say, oh, look at Google is

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 9>like is this actually true?

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Morgan Brown, Dropbox Imperial w He's out with the smartest

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.359
<v Speaker 3>note I've seen where he's talking about decimal points. I

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.880
<v Speaker 3>don't want to go into that. You and Tracy at

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 3>audience talk a lot more to techy people about this.

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 3>What's their message on the future of American AI versus

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 3>these shock threats.

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 9>I mean, you know what, here's what my my take,

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 9>which is that they're already I mean, we saw the

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 9>Trump announcement last week with Stargate right half a trillion dollar.

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 3>I thought that was I thought that was the movie

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 3>with what's happening now?

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 9>I think because of the arrival of this very compelling

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 9>Chinese model, is it just cements the notion that there

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.119
<v Speaker 9>is a global arms race allah the bomb And I

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 9>don't know if achieving AGI or whatever people talk about

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 9>is a breakthrough on par or is strategic as a

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.159
<v Speaker 9>nuclear bomb. But now everyone is just going to be

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:13.959
<v Speaker 9>we have to beat them, we have to beat them,

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 9>and there's gonna be so much money flowing to tech

0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 9>companies now in this idea that there is a global race, Joe.

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.840
<v Speaker 6>I feel like by the end of business today, the

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.719
<v Speaker 6>top star on the Bloomberg terournal will be US government

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 6>looking at deep Seek as it's looking at TikTok TikTok.

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 7>Well, you know what, so this is interesting.

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 9>The other thing, and thanks for reminding me of this,

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 9>which is that deep Seek is a piece of open,

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 9>open source software. It is it's unbannable. Now, there is

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 9>an app that theoretically could be banned from the app store,

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.720
<v Speaker 9>but I think it'll be high. But it's a piece

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 9>of open source software.

0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 3>I have a friend.

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 9>You know, you can run it on your own computer

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 9>if you have the And so this is fundamentally different

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.639
<v Speaker 9>from TikTok in the sense that anyone can run this

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.160
<v Speaker 9>piece of code, just download it, and so it's fundamentally unbannable.

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.680
<v Speaker 3>You've been on fire, Adam Tooms this weekend. Very nice,

0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 3>come your euro dollar three part series. You have Howard

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Marx on Good morning, mister Mark, thank you so much

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 3>for your support over the years. What's your message from

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Howard Marx about this?

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 9>Odd He doesn't think we're in an AYE bubble yet,

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 9>he said, you know, he like doesn't zuberans he doesn't see,

0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:19.480
<v Speaker 9>which I thought was really interesting because to me, it

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.440
<v Speaker 9>feels like exuberance. But the idea of me questioning Howard

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 9>marks on questions like what is exuberance really feels like

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 9>someone who has experienced multiple cycles over the years, right,

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.120
<v Speaker 9>I don't think I would go with my take versus take.

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, did you go to NAM were you out?

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 4>And well?

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.119
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean the endorsements like sweet crudez. Should I

<v Speaker 7>Is that done with the Jeff?

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they did, Joe bid But I'm sorry, Wretches on fire,

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.959
<v Speaker 3>Retches on fire, that's the real break. Fender bought Gretch

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 3>and you know what's light sweet crew?

<v Speaker 3>And I like, you know, I'm in bed at a thirty?

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Does it really start at eight? Or are you doing

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 3>the rock star?

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:27.359
<v Speaker 9>Do we have an opening act at eight? We're going

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.360

<v Speaker 3>followed Joe on LinkedIn where he's really going step by

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:55.359
<v Speaker 3>step through his experience with AI, which I think is

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 3>really cool.

<v Speaker 3>and mit he wandered back to the Avenue of the

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:30.399
<v Speaker 3>Stars where he is a star for Bernstein. What you

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 3>need to know is in the old days, you had

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:37.719
<v Speaker 3>a black covered book from Sanford Bernstein and you knew

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 3>good morning Brad Hints that you were dealing with the

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 3>best Stacy honored that you could join us this morning.

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Will you change by hold sell on the American tech

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:52.760
<v Speaker 3>companies because of this Deep Seak announcement, I mean.

0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Lok, so we're not change.

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:58.439
<v Speaker 10>We haven't changed anything. We get killed ourselves over the

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.880
<v Speaker 10>weekend to go through some of this stuff and put

0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 10>some views in places like I had three kind of

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:08.520
<v Speaker 10>broad takeaways please from yeah, from from from the work.

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 10>But number one is I think there's been a headline.

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.520
<v Speaker 10>But I think this is why the circus. There was

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.200
<v Speaker 10>a headline that kind of came out all is that

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 10>was kind of like, hey, deep Sea duplicated open AI

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 10>for five million dollars, and then went so I do

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:24.639
<v Speaker 10>not think they duplicated open AI for five million dollars.

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:28.440
<v Speaker 10>Number two, Look, I think the models that they built

0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:30.919
<v Speaker 10>are fantastic. They're really really good. But I don't think

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 10>they're miracles. We can talk about why and and number

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 10>three finally, like, I think the panic and there's clearly

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.639
<v Speaker 10>a full blown on panic going on over the weekend

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 10>and this morning, I think it's overblown. I think, you know,

0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 10>I do not think that deep seek is the doomsday

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 10>for for AI infrastructure.

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>For those of you are for those of you are

0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 2>on radio.

0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 3>On YouTube, you can see a space shuttle behind a

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 3>gentleman from m I T I.

0:23:56.920 --> 0:23:58.440
<v Speaker 10>I didn't even know that I lived.

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 3>That Stacey, and we were certain it worked until the

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 3>heat panels didn't work in January of nineteen eighty six.

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 3>Do we have a certitude that the stuff is going

0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:13.600
<v Speaker 3>to work for Nvidia or Microsoft? Are the other fourteen

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 3>names you follow?

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 10>I cover ten names Microsoft and some of the others

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 10>are covered by my college cover semicaracters. When you talk

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.879
<v Speaker 10>about work, like, I don't understand what you mean. But

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:29.440
<v Speaker 10>the question here is these models look really efficient, and

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:32.159
<v Speaker 10>the resources that were required to train them, you know,

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:34.640
<v Speaker 10>look lower than what we've seen from some other models

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:35.880
<v Speaker 10>in the past. And then even you look at where

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 10>they're actually pricing the stuff, and they're pricing and they're

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.400
<v Speaker 10>pricing it at levels that are quite a bit lower

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:44.760
<v Speaker 10>where say open ay makes their models available on if

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:46.879
<v Speaker 10>you want to go use them. And so the question is,

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:48.680
<v Speaker 10>given all of that that you need less, you need

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:52.639
<v Speaker 10>fewer GPUs, that's that's the big one, and fewer infrastructure

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 10>buildouts and everything else. And so I mean, just just

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 10>to talk about it's like, what have they done. They've

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 10>got two flavors of models. They've got something called V three,

0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:04.400
<v Speaker 10>which is sort of like a chat model. It uses

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:06.680
<v Speaker 10>something called a mixture of experts that makes it very efficient.

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:09.480
<v Speaker 10>And they've got a reasoning model called one where they

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 10>used reinforcement learning and some other techniques from the V

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:18.400
<v Speaker 10>three base model to build rivals to say to open

0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:22.639
<v Speaker 10>a eyes one reasoning model. If you look at the

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:27.639
<v Speaker 10>why they're so efficient in terms of the training that

0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 10>they did on and the compute resources they used to

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:33.280
<v Speaker 10>train the V three models, it's very efficient. They compared

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:35.159
<v Speaker 10>it to say like LAMA four or five B, and

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 10>it took you know, roughly ten percent of the computer

0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:41.119
<v Speaker 10>resource to train it then metas a LAMA four or

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 10>five B did. However, the structure of the model, would

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:46.120
<v Speaker 10>that make sense? It uses something called a mixture of experts.

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 10>That's the whole point. Other mixture of experts, models that

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:51.920
<v Speaker 10>are out there, you know, take anywhere from you know,

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 10>a six to one seventh as mount compute resources.

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 2>This is a good one.

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 10>It was like one tent or even even better than that.

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:01.680
<v Speaker 10>But I don't think it's a miracle. And you got

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 10>to remember, like remember I'm a semiconductor analyst. Like for

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 10>fifty years, costs and semiconductors got cut in half, like

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:11.960
<v Speaker 10>for every every cheers for fifty years. That was not

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 10>a bad thing for semiconductor man, that was a good thing.

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:19.080
<v Speaker 10>We all want adoption. To get adoption, we need lower costs.

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 10>This is something called Jevans paradox, right, like increasing efficiency

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 10>drives actually more demand, more net demand, not less demand.

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:28.000
<v Speaker 10>I'm a firm believer in that. I have a strong

0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:30.520
<v Speaker 10>suspicion that if we can free up more compute resources,

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 10>it will get it.

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Will be used.

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:36.120
<v Speaker 10>I don't think we're anywhere close to the end of

0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:38.720
<v Speaker 10>compute needs for artificial intelligence. We're gonna need this just

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 10>given I mean.

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 2>The costs have been going up. Right next year, we

0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:42.119
<v Speaker 2>need this.

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:46.200
<v Speaker 3>But anytime anybody coast William Stanley, Jefvins on the show,

0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:47.159
<v Speaker 3>they get to come back.

0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 7>They get to continue.

0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 6>Stacey, what do you expect to hear from the semiconductor

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 6>companies that you cover in terms of their response to

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:55.879
<v Speaker 6>this news, whether it's and video or others.

0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:57.440
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, well, I mean, so we were in the middle

0:26:57.440 --> 0:26:59.159
<v Speaker 10>of earning season right now, so we'll see as they

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:02.520
<v Speaker 10>come out, right, but we forget the semiconductor comings from it.

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 10>We've already seen, like like some of the other like responses,

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 10>and you have to remember everything that that that we've

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 10>seen deep seaking like this. I don't want to I

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 10>don't want to dismiss it like they're they're really good

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 10>and very efficient, they're very smart engineers. But this is

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.560
<v Speaker 10>these are not things that are not known, and you know,

0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.160
<v Speaker 10>these are not things that like the the other top

0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 10>tier AI researchers and AI labs are not aware of

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:26.680
<v Speaker 10>and potentially already using themselves. Right, And if we look

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 10>at what we saw last week on top of all

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:32.199
<v Speaker 10>of this, clearly spending is going up, not down. So

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:36.159
<v Speaker 10>Meta just just significantly increased their capex. I think on Friday,

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:39.119
<v Speaker 10>right we had the whole Stargate announce and five hundred

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 10>billion dollars whatever that is, and even China a few

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 10>days ago announced a one trillion yuan which is about

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 10>one hundred and forty billion dollar US sort of like

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:52.119
<v Speaker 10>sovereign like AI effort right, so like clearly spending is

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 10>still going up, not down. And and these models, I said,

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 10>they didn't just just dump on us. Yesterday, the Deep

0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:00.040
<v Speaker 10>Seat V three was released the end after just.

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, Tracey Stacey, I got to get this in. It's

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 3>too important. At UCLA. You had to survive Physics one

0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 3>A a few years ago. The smartest thing I've seen

0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 3>is that American AI is trying to go out to

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 3>thirty two decimal points, where the Chinese are saying, you

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 3>know what eight decimal points is?

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 3>Is this a question of granularity or we're being too

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:26.440
<v Speaker 3>perfect in AI? And the Chinese are saying, you don't

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:28.120
<v Speaker 3>need to be too perfect.

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:31.160
<v Speaker 10>Now, so they use what you're trying. They use mixed precision.

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:37.479
<v Speaker 10>They use mixed precision numbers to train this that they

0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 10>used to have floating point eight eight bit numbers you

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:42.720
<v Speaker 10>typically use floating point sixty or floating point thirty two.

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 10>It's actually really interesting though, in Vidia with their Hopper generation,

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 10>which is the H one D eight hundreds. It has

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:52.600
<v Speaker 10>something called on it. It's actually called a transformer engine.

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 10>What that actually did was it enabled you to train

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 10>at eight bit precision. And in fact Blackwell, which is

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 10>their their their next generation stuff, this spending on now

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 10>actually enables four bit precision. So no, these are things

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 10>that everybody is looking at. It may it may be

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.040
<v Speaker 10>that that deep Seek is the first ones to actually

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 10>deploy this in a very large model, but these are.

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Things they're looking at it.

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 10>And if you actually look over time, we've seen the

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 10>numerical precisions that people are using coming in and other

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:22.880
<v Speaker 10>the reason you do this, did you get more compute?

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 10>If I go from sixteen bit to eight in theory,

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 10>I get twice as many flops, twice as many operations

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 10>per second. But no, these are things that have been

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 10>happening all along. This is just the next step. And

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 10>they're again I don't want to dismiss them, Like I said,

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 10>they've done some really clever things and but but none

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:39.480
<v Speaker 10>of this is a miracle or and none of this

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 10>I think is an unknown or a slap in the

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 10>face to the other AI labs.

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 3>We're out of time. Don't be a stranger thing. You're

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:51.040
<v Speaker 3>trooper to get up this early. Really really appreciate these.

0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:54.200
<v Speaker 3>In Los Angeles daily lunches at Michael's. They're closed now

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:57.000
<v Speaker 3>because of the fire, but I'm sure when Michael's reopened,

0:29:57.200 --> 0:29:59.959
<v Speaker 3>you know Stacy will be there. Stacy redskin with burns,

0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 2>We dashed to the newspapers. Lisa tell me we're deep,

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 2>deep seek free.

0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 7>We are newspaper free.

0:30:56.960 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 11>I know, trying to do something a little different. We

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 11>talked about more companies pushing workers back to the office, right,

0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 11>but not everyone at the company is being treated the same.

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 11>They're saying. It's causing a lot of tension now in

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 11>the workplace because you have some people in a company,

0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 11>like the top performers, the employees with those certain skill sets.

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:18.479
<v Speaker 11>They're being given that flexibility, and so he comes in

0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 11>once in a while because the companies don't want to

0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:22.960
<v Speaker 11>lose them to other companies. You know, it's a whole

0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:25.800
<v Speaker 11>thing of stealing each other's workers. So it's a lot

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:28.040
<v Speaker 11>of tension in the workplace that's starting to cause attention

0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 11>between the managers and the staff on top of it.

0:31:30.720 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 3>So it's truly fluid, I mean into the warmer season

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 3>into spring.

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 2>To me, it's a hugely fluid debate.

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 7>Some people take Fridays off in the summertime.

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I've heard, well they do.

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 7>Yes, I've heard we missed that memo.

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 2>It works.

0:31:44.400 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 3>It works out with me in PA because he takes

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 3>every Friday off, and I'm like, you know, you're in

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:49.640
<v Speaker 3>the fam and all that.

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 7>It works out.

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 11>Nextll does we want to go to the airline industry

0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 11>because you're seeing this shift in the pricing power now

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:59.360
<v Speaker 11>going back to the carriers. If you've been pricing tickets

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:02.640
<v Speaker 11>out there, notice prices for the cheapest flights up twelve

0:32:02.720 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 11>percent this month from a year earlier. That's according to Hopper.

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 11>But the airlines are saying people are gonna pay it

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:11.200
<v Speaker 11>no matter what. And they're saying people are paying it domestic, yes,

0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 11>international as well.

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 8>And there.

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 11>I don't know, I don't know how much of a

0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 11>deal there you got, But they're saying what's shifting to

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 11>is that the discount airlines. You know, you've seen them

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:27.000
<v Speaker 11>who usually go to these you know consumer you know,

0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 11>budget conscious people. They are starting to shift to the

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:33.080
<v Speaker 11>to the more advanced. And then you have the luxury sector.

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 11>Now you have all these luxury items being offered out

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 11>on the plane. So if you go on a flight,

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 11>you may have a you know, a cosmetic bag filled

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:46.120
<v Speaker 11>with all these premium you know, lotions and perfumes. You're

0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 11>getting caviars, champagne, cae.

0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 4>You have not seen.

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.480
<v Speaker 11>You haven't gotten your crystal champagne.

0:32:56.040 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 2>What is it Hudson River, Yeah, exactly right.

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:01.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean it's everything's a cart though you pay for

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 6>everything now, so I mean, you know the bags that

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 6>that that the better seats so.

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 3>We had an offspring at the airport with a lot

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.720
<v Speaker 3>of luggage. Call up and say, I can't believe what

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 3>they're you know, yep, they want it for me right now,

0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 3>for three extra bags or.

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 7>Whatever, two weeks in Europe with one check on check it. Yep,

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:20.920
<v Speaker 7>I don't take it. You don't take a bag. I

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:22.280
<v Speaker 7>don't take the kids.

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 2>They travels, they take too much stuff today.

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:28.719
<v Speaker 11>Next, lastly, okay, so you heard about costco is switching

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 11>back from coke back to coke from pepps. Really, yeah,

0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:35.560

<v Speaker 6>Pepsi coke person. But I won't die on that hill.

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:39.960
<v Speaker 6>You will put PEPs in front of me.

<v Speaker 7>I'll be fine.

0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:42.360
<v Speaker 11>But it's like this huge debate on.

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Someone to explain a Costco on a Saturday morning Cocono Pepsi.

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 11>People are like Ritt. They want it with their dollar

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 11>fifty hot dog. They want to have their certain soda

0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 11>because they're used to it.

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Can you tell the difference?

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:56.160

<v Speaker 6>I'm the soda person here and I actually have almost

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 6>a year and a half. I put in a ticket

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 6>every day to bring back the soda machines on the

0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:08.799
<v Speaker 6>sixth floor. It's going up to the highest level of

0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:09.480
<v Speaker 6>bloom But if you.

0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:11.319
