Of course, the big ticket item I 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 6: don't need to tell either of you would be whether 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 6: or not President Trump pushes the Chinese government to have 36 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 6: Chinese buyers for the now greenlit h two hundred Nvidia chips. 37 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 5: So maybe there will be. 38 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 6: Some sort of discussions around that. I'll also throw on 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 6: your radar that it is our understand that Washington and 40 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 6: Beijing are in talks about potential cooperation when it comes 41 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 6: to keeping a dialogue open around artificial intelligence. That could 42 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 6: be also one of those deliverables that we see out 43 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,559 Speaker 6: of this meeting tomorrow between President Trump and Chinese President Xijingping. 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 6: The administration maintains that they want trade to be the 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 6: top priority here. Just look at the other list of CEOs. 46 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 6: It is our understanding that they represent some of those 47 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 6: sectors where we could see some Chinese purchase agreement commitments, 48 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 6: including the Cargill CEO when it comes to agriculture, and 49 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 6: the Boeing CEO also being here on the ground in Beijing. 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 6: But at and Carolina at this part, it's hard to 51 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 6: avoid that Iran will be looming very large over this conversation. 52 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 6: In fact, a senior administration official who briefed US reporters 53 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 6: before we headed over here to Asia did say that 54 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 6: behind closed doors, President Trump is going to push the 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 6: Chinese president when it comes to the country's stance around 56 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 6: Iran during this conflict, including how Beijing remains the largest 57 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 6: buyer of Iranian crude. 58 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 4: Tyler Kendall life in Beijing.

One point, we're in the red on 62 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 4: the Nazaq one hundred. We're now back in the green. 63 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: We're at about six tens of a percent leading. The 64 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: pack is of course chip makers once again in terms 65 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 4: of points. 66 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 5: But I shine a light what's happening in China. 67 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 4: The Golden Dragon, that is the Nazak Golden Dragon Index, 68 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 4: which is really basically the trading of Chinese names. Here 69 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 4: in the US, the ADRs, we're up three and a 70 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 4: half percent. There is a lot of excitement about what 71 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 4: one gentsen one could meet for Chinese tech. 72 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: This is really tied to the Nvidia story, and Video 73 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: itself is now up almost three percent and trading at 74 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: a record high, up for a six straight day, matching 75 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: the run it had in early April. 76 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: And the story is really simple. 77 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: A lot of those Chinese AI specific names, Minimax, Gipu, 78 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: the examples, I mean, look at those games. That's astonishing 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: overnight on the idea that there might be something here 80 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: that Tyler just. 81 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 4: Outlined, something here, something certainly for the market to continue 82 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 4: to chew on as we've just seen relentless exuberant exuberants 83 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 4: around a Fiona's and condas with US see City Index, 84 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 4: Financial Markets Senior Analyst and Fiona Is there rationality to 85 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 4: the moves in the Chinese names on the back of 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 4: hope that they'll get access to more powerful chips. Is 87 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: that something that you're looking to come out of the 88 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 4: geopolitical event in China, you know. 89 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 7: Something we've got our eyes on. 90 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 8: So I think, you know, that would be the absolute 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 8: icing on the cake as far as those stocks are concerned. 92 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 8: And that's what we're sort of starting to see priced in. 93 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 8: Is that optimism that that could potentially be on the table. 94 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 8: I mean, the fact that we saw that later edition 95 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 8: of Kuwan Jun saying joining the delegation to the US, 96 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 8: I think has really just sort of been spurred on 97 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 8: those hopes. And I think there's sort of broad More 98 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 8: broadly speaking, I think there is just a level of 99 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 8: excitement surrounding Trump's trip to China, and I think that's 100 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 8: sort of really evident as we're seeing, you know, the 101 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 8: Nazak push higher, even though we've got sort of those 102 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 8: concerns regarding inflation and the sort of fundamental backdrop which 103 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 8: normally would weigh down the tech index. 104 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: We have been talking about the impact of the latest 105 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: economic data in the markets, but I want to stay 106 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 3: focused on what's happening in China. How does the market 107 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 3: interpret and price in this delegation of CEOs that we're 108 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 3: showing on the screen right now, Tim Cook, Elon Musk, 109 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 3: Chuck Robbins, and as we've all mentioned, Jensen one with 110 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 3: the president. What is it the market thinks that does 111 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: this is like the who's who? 112 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 8: You know, literally the top list of the CEOs from 113 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 8: the US that you could wish for to go to 114 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 8: speak to China regarding trade, regarding you know what move 115 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 8: forward in AI, in chips. I mean, you know, the 116 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 8: potential for these two economies to actually get sort of 117 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 8: further agreements surrounding such enormous topics would be massive, And 118 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I don't think we can underestimate that. 119 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 8: I mean, if we just think about sort of you know, 120 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 8: for example, chips, which you know have been a massive 121 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 8: part of the story the rally in recent weeks. You know, 122 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 8: if we think about it, the US is very much 123 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 8: dominating the sort of the AI computing power at the 124 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 8: top of the technology set, but at the bottom you've 125 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 8: got China controlling much of the supply chain critical minerals 126 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 8: needed to manufacture semmericonductors and advance electronics. So you know, 127 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 8: if there are these two economies are deeply independent on 128 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 8: each other. So the more agreements, the more synergies that 129 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 8: they get together, the better that's going to be. 130 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 4: Look, we are seeing just the run up in semiconductors 131 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 4: hardware in particular continue. Even if we took a breath yesterday, 132 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 4: we're back on and in the green today, Fiona. 133 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 5: And it's notable that we're waiting. 134 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 4: An IPO could be priced today, likely to start training 135 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: tomorrow as cerebras. How are you thinking about the appetite 136 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 4: among your clients to get more exposure, particularly for these 137 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 4: very AI specific names. 138 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, there's been you know, an extremely ramping up of 139 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 8: demand over the last few weeks. I mean it's definitely 140 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 8: caught the markets by surprise. I think, you know, we've 141 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 8: seen that rally come, especially given the fact that we 142 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 8: did see sort of in a little bit of a 143 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 8: more depressed outlook towards these stocks at the end of 144 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 8: last year and the beginning of this year. But you know, 145 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 8: that has definitely moved forward. We're seeing that our clients 146 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 8: are really very interested still in their stocks, which is 147 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 8: interesting because I think technically the position is looking a 148 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 8: little bit over done, so I think, you know, there 149 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 8: is room for some consolidation and potentially a pullback here. 150 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 8: But I think broadly speaking, the longer term trend is 151 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 8: still looking very positive. 152 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean that's the question for me, what happens next? 153 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 6: Right? 154 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 3: You know, technology stocks basically are still at record highs 155 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: irrespective of what's happening around the world, So what does 156 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: happen now and why? What is the big swing factor 157 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: in markets for you? 158 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 7: Yeah? Completely? 159 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 8: I mean this is what's really interesting, isn't that I 160 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 8: think is the fundamental backdrop that we have is far 161 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 8: from ideal. So I think, you know, if we look 162 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 8: about what could happen next, I mean, supposing we do 163 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 8: get the reopening of the Straight of horn Moose in 164 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 8: the coming weeks, that would make the backdrop suddenly much 165 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 8: more favorable, which potentially could mean there could be more 166 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 8: gains to be had, not just in AI, not just 167 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 8: in tech. 168 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 7: SoCs, but potentially across the board. 169 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 8: But I think if that doesn't happen, we're still seeing 170 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 8: this solid demand for tech in AI, and I think 171 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 8: there is a potential, as I said, for it to slow, 172 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 8: even for there to be some consolidation or a pullback, 173 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 8: just given the fact that we are technically so overdone. 174 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 8: But I think as far as the child is looking, 175 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 8: there isn't anything on there that's telling us that there 176 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 8: are reversals. 177 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 7: Coming anytime soon. 178 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 8: And so for the time being, the side of least 179 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 8: redistance does appear to be upwards. 180 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 4: And is that global Fiona, As we're talking about China, 181 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 4: we talk about the US, but Europe ASML has been 182 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 4: a key name. 183 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 5: We think about what's been happening in Japan, in South. 184 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 4: Korea, which of course was shaken over the last couple 185 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 4: of trading days because of talk of maybe some sort 186 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: of citizen dividend and a sharing of the wealth of AI. 187 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right. 188 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 8: I mean the COSB, I think is a really interesting example. 189 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 8: We've seen the volatility there really come up. I mean 190 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 8: that had some extremely strong games before we had that pullback. 191 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 8: But I think that's an interesting point that's being made 192 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 8: there about the sort of the dividend, the people's dividend. 193 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 7: On AI, that tax on AI. 194 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 8: Is that something that could potentially be a risk point 195 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 8: further down the line more globally. That's something I would 196 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 8: be watching out for. But I think for now, this 197 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 8: is a global story that we're looking at as far 198 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 8: as AI is concerned, and that demand for tech is definitely. 199 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: Back on Fionasenkodo City Index. Great to have you back 200 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: on boombog Tech, Thank you very much. Coming up, we're 201 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 3: going to speak with anderill Ceobrian Shint. The company hits 202 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 3: a sixty one billion dollar valuation in its latest funding round. 203 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 2: That's next. This is Bloomberg Tech. Defense tech start. 204 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 3: Up Anderil has rocketed to a sixty one billion dollar 205 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 3: valuation after a fresh five billion dollar raise led by 206 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 3: Frive Capital and Ndres and Horr. It's almost twice the 207 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: valuation it's said at one year ago. It underscores surging 208 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 3: investor appetite for AI driven defense tech. Joining us now 209 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 3: is Andreil CEO, Brian Schimp and Brian. It's good to 210 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 3: have you back with us on bloom Thank you so much. 211 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: Happy to be here. 212 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 3: This is confirmation a little bit of what we reported 213 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: about a month couple of months ago. But actually when 214 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 3: you come on the program, a lot of the questions 215 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 3: we get for you are operational. So let's take the 216 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 3: five billion dollars that you've raised, how much of that 217 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 3: is to get Arsenal one done built and all of 218 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 3: the other operational timelines that you guys are holding yourselves 219 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 3: to imminently. 220 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 9: Yeah, So as a business, you know, we were entering 221 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 9: this period where production is the name of the game. 222 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 9: So vast majority of our capital goes to scaling our factories, 223 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 9: building out our production workforce, funding all that inventory, and 224 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 9: really just getting that ramp to production working. We're increasing 225 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 9: production revenue something like two hundred and fifty percent over 226 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 9: the year, just year over year, So just a huge 227 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 9: ramp in what we're seeing in terms of demand for 228 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 9: our technology. 229 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 7: Demand. 230 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 5: Talk about it, how much breadth are we seeing. 231 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 4: The geopolitical conflicts they have sadly increased, and we're still 232 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 4: seeing this focus on the need for defense tech, but 233 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 4: we know that the money is often still spent on primes. 234 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, look, we are still relatively young as 235 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 9: a company. We're nine years in. We've been very successful 236 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 9: by any measure for a company at that age in 237 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 9: the defense world, and in the fraction of the market 238 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 9: we're actually addressing right now is still quite small. But 239 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 9: where we are seeing a lot of demand is particularly 240 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 9: around things like counter drone and aaron missile defense. That's 241 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 9: where you look at the conflict. This is a huge issue. 242 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 9: This is a huge area where we're seeing massive increases 243 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 9: and what the customers want, you know, our electronic warfare systems, 244 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 9: our surface their missile systems, and then the other capability 245 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 9: that we're seeing a lot of demand on that was 246 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 9: you know, just announced today was a multi year procurement 247 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 9: of a low cost cruise missile that we call Barracuda. 248 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 9: The Department is buying, you know, thousands a year of these, 249 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 9: and we're ramping these at just an unprecedented pace and 250 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 9: being able to get these out to help with that 251 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 9: critical munitions shortage and the ability to sustain these conflicts 252 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 9: and provide the deterrence we need. 253 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 2: Brian, just humor me on this one. 254 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 3: The five billion dollars is sufficient to finish Arsenal one 255 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 3: and start the production ramp. 256 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, so we are already ramping production with the money 257 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 9: we had in the bank. This is really about how 258 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 9: do we continue to fuel that growth. I don't think 259 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 9: we're going to see Arsenal one be done anytime soon 260 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 9: because I think the demand we're going to continue to 261 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 9: see and the amount we're going to have to new 262 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 9: new scales just going to ramp and ramp over the 263 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 9: next several years. This is a good problem to have, 264 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 9: right and so we benefiting from the private markets and 265 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 9: the ability to fund these very aggressive ramps. And it's 266 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 9: a huge testament to you know, the American capital system 267 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 9: that we can fund these things very, very quickly. 268 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: It was interesting to go through a letter to your 269 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 3: shareholders he wrote back in January actually and like kind 270 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 3: of foretelling what was to come in the year. There's 271 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 3: still a bit of a mistique about Anderill, right, so 272 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 3: I think Palmer Lucky, one of your co founders, has 273 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 3: talked about the idea that half of Android's products aren't 274 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 3: really known about. There's particular interest in the next wave 275 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 3: of subterrian weapons systems. Could you talk as far as 276 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: you can about where those get built, you know, the 277 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 3: next phase of life und reill beyond what the initial 278 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 3: focus of Arsenal one is. 279 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, So the purpose of the board letter was layout 280 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 9: a lot of the you know kind of why of 281 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 9: what are we doing? What's made us successful is we 282 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 9: look at, you know, with the SS and technology, the 283 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 9: shifts and warfare, what are the capabilities that are going 284 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 9: to be needed over the next five or ten years 285 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 9: and how can we start to invest to bring those forward. 286 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 9: So you know, we're working on a whole plethora of 287 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 9: different products, you know, everything, expanding the air and missile 288 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,479 Speaker 9: defense portfolio. 289 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 10: We're working on, you know, new domains we're operating in. 290 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 9: Palmer's always experimenting with the latest and greatest technologies and 291 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 9: figuring out what you can do that nobody thought possible. 292 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 9: So we just have a constant source of new ideas 293 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 9: how technology can apply. But fundamentally, we look at this 294 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 9: question of what are going to be the dominant technologies 295 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 9: over the next ten or twenty years. What we're seeing 296 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 9: in Iran, what we're seeing in Ukraine is that this 297 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 9: idea of just the sheer volume of munitions that are 298 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 9: exchange and the need to defend against that. These our 299 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 9: critical capabilities that in any world will need to be 300 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 9: solved for. And so a lot of our focus is 301 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 9: really around these ideas of you know, how do we 302 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 9: provide the right strike capabilities, the right intelligent targeting capabilities 303 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 9: and the defense of these as well. 304 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 5: At the right price. And I'm really interested Bran in. 305 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 4: Some of these new ideas come from the administration itself, 306 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 4: and the Golden Dome project is one of those new 307 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: ideas that, according to current budget forecasts coming from the 308 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 4: Congressional Budget Office, could be up to one point two 309 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 4: trillion dollars of the ultimate project. Now, I know you're 310 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 4: among the companies have been awarded initial contracts. Run what 311 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 4: do you make of how much this could end up 312 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 4: costing it? 313 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 5: And it's worth. 314 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 9: So a lot of those estimates are based off of 315 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 9: what this would have cost historically, right, and that was 316 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 9: based around building these things that are extremely expensive and 317 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 9: extremely exquisite, where you're talking you know, ten twenty thirty 318 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 9: million dollars a shot to you know, actually provide that 319 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 9: defense well with commercial technologies, taking a smarter approach, using 320 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 9: a lot of proven, you know, capabilities that already exist, 321 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 9: adapting them for this problem, we believe you can get 322 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 9: this to a much more efficient place and probably even 323 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 9: more than. 324 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 10: The price is can you even produce it? 325 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 9: And today that's one of the major concerns, right, you know, 326 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 9: we we shot something like a decade of tomahawk production 327 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 9: in seventy two outs. You know, it's just a crazy 328 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 9: rate that we're consuming these things, and the ability to 329 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 9: replenish these becomes a critical issue. 330 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 10: So our view of this is these are solvable problems. 331 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 9: You can do it in a more efficient way than 332 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 9: has been historically executed, and I think that you know, 333 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 9: being able to execute this at a national scale is 334 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 9: achievable now in a much more aggressive timeline at a 335 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 9: much more efficient price than I think people have historically imagined. 336 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: Okay, you get asked this a lot. Palmlucky gets asked 337 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: this a lot. Trey gets asked it a lot. 338 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 3: But when you do arounded this scale and you look 339 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 3: at the composition of it, who's not there? People want 340 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 3: to know about the rationale Forander or going public. Why 341 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 3: they weren't more crossover investors. You know, this is the 342 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: first time actually, Brian, you, the three of us have 343 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 3: had to talk in length because when we were with 344 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 3: you in October, the President made some news about China. 345 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 3: So just talk us through Brian Shimp's thinking on an 346 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 3: anderill Ipo. 347 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 9: So we want to build one of the most pactful 348 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 9: businesses in the world. Like, that's our goal, right, We 349 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 9: want to seriously move the needle for the US and 350 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 9: Allied warfighters, provide the right to terms capabilities, and do 351 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 9: it at the men's scale, right, That is fundamentally what 352 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 9: we care about. The rationale for going public is a 353 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 9: lot less than it used to be. The private capital 354 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 9: markets have grown in scale, the ability to fund a 355 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 9: business like ours. You know, when we were doing this 356 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 9: a few years ago, we were you know, at the 357 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 9: upper end of what capital raises look like in the 358 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 9: private market. We are a fraction of an AI fundraised 359 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 9: at this point, and so the amount of capital that 360 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 9: is available and it you know, wants to support these 361 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 9: types of companies is is massive. 362 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 10: So we're not in a rush to go public, right. 363 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 9: We don't need to do it from the perspective of 364 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 9: capital availability or liquidity. You know, we can provide liquidity 365 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 9: to our early investors, our employees in relatively straightforward ways. 366 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 10: There's a lot of means to do that. 367 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 9: So a lot of the historic reasons of why you 368 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 9: rush to go public don't don't really exist anymore. So 369 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 9: for us that the question is when does it actually 370 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 9: make sense? And for us it's you know, we've proven 371 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 9: that our business model works, we've proven that we can scale, 372 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 9: and you know, the fundamental economics of the business are 373 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 9: shown to be, you know, as successful as we want 374 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 9: to be, you know, a high growth company that can 375 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 9: operate at high margins. 376 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 10: That's fundamentally what we want to show. 377 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 9: And when we feel like we've shown that that's a 378 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 9: perfectly reasonable time to go public. 379 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 10: So we're not in any run, We don't have any 380 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 10: post sure to do it. 381 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 4: It's great, Yeah, but investors want a stake, particularly retail, 382 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 4: And I know you've been outspoken about the secondary market. 383 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 4: Look today and Floppic, I think is yesterday, just put 384 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 4: out a new blog saying that, Look, there are some 385 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 4: areas in which Probics seems to be trading on a 386 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 4: secondary market, and they call them stocks scams. In some 387 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 4: areas they say it's issuing Fourgulan share certificates in the 388 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 4: private artificial AI developer. 389 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 5: Are you warning about that? Still? 390 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 4: How worried are you about Andreill's shares trading fordulently on 391 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 4: a secondary market? 392 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 9: Look, we try to control our cap table tightly and 393 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 9: make sure that you know everyone investor we have, We 394 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 9: understand who they are. They're in it for the long haul, 395 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 9: and they're in it for the right reasons. There's a 396 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 9: lot of very bad actors that exist trying to, you know, 397 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 9: hawk things that are not allowed, right, and we've seen 398 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 9: a lot of prosecutions and other things related to this. Right, 399 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 9: this is not a new issue, right, And so I 400 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 9: think there's a problem here. I think the government's respond. 401 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 4: Can you name the companies, Like, are there any secondary 402 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 4: market providers you take issue with in particular? 403 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 5: Sorry, just briefly name names? 404 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 9: No, I mean, look like the reality is it's mostly 405 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 9: individual bad actors. Very few of these you know, second 406 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 9: market brokerages or listing things are inherently the problem. The 407 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 9: issue is investors, you know, not even investors, these brokers 408 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 9: misrepresenting what they have access to. And that's not good 409 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 9: in a public market. It's not good in a private market. 410 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 9: So the you know, I think it is a problem, 411 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 9: but you know, it's something that we do everything weekend 412 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 9: to control and try to help curtail. 413 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 10: And it's affecting every one of the companies. Who are 414 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 10: you know, interesting in the private markets. 415 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 3: Brian, you've been generous to your time before we lose 416 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 3: you from the program. The President's visit to China, the 417 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,959 Speaker 3: timeline of the threat to Taiwan twenty twenty seven. 418 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: What Danderil's thinking on that. 419 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 9: Look, diplomacy is good. We're in the deterrence business. We 420 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 9: do not want there to be a conflict, and I 421 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 9: think the President going and engaging REGI is a fantastic thing. 422 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 9: And I'm very excited to see what comes out of this. 423 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 9: And you know, we're also providing a lot of technology 424 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 9: to Taiwan, supporting them and every opportunity we can, because 425 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 9: we believe that they need the right capabilities and to 426 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 9: have the right deterrence. And you know, the long talked 427 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 9: about window of twenty twenty seven, kind of the period 428 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 9: of maximum danger, I think it is true. You know, 429 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 9: I don't think anyone believes that it was a you know, 430 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 9: January one, twenty twenty seven and invasion begins, but it 431 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 9: highlights a period where, you know, kind of the PRC 432 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 9: has a more established military capability and the US and 433 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 9: Taiwan at a relative disadvantage compared to other points in time, 434 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 9: and so it is a period of significant risk. And 435 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 9: with all of the complexities going on in the world 436 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 9: with Iran, with Ukraine, you know, with all the other 437 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 9: areas that are you know, hotspots in the world, it 438 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 9: creates a significant stress on the US military. So I 439 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 9: think this is the opportunity for diplomacy is good to 440 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 9: try to ensure that nothing does happen and try to 441 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 9: find a scenario that preserves the status quo, that is 442 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 9: working reasonably well, and that's that's honestly what I hope 443 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 9: for out of this summit. 444 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 4: Bran Chef fascinating all things geopolitics, all things you'll raised 445 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 4: sixty one billion dollar valuation the Andreil CEO. 446 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 5: We so appreciate your time today. 447 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 4: Now it's expected to be the final day of evidence 448 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 4: in the closely watched trial between Elon. 449 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 5: Musk and open Ai. Yesterday, Sam Altman. 450 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 4: Told jurors he was quote extremely uncomfortable with Musk's insistence 451 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 4: on having full control of the startup in its early days. 452 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 4: Mask You're a member is suing open Ai, his former 453 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 4: co founders, and Microsoft, alleging that they abandoned the chatchebt 454 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 4: maker's altruistic mission. Let's get more with Bloomberg AI editor 455 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 4: Seth Figgerman. So what seems to have transpired, what's being 456 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 4: articulated by Sam Altman is that at some point in 457 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 4: al Musk actually was thinking about a profit side of it, 458 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 4: thinking about trying to earn control, and indeed was then 459 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 4: thinking bequeathing it to his children if he died, right. 460 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 11: As one does. Yeah, a little bit of dramatic testimony there. 461 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 11: So much of o'pennie's counter argument to Musk claims here 462 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 11: is that really his frustration is that he was not 463 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 11: able to control and be CEO of Opennie and the 464 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 11: way that he is with all his other ventures. And 465 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 11: so Sam Alman recounted a conversation with Musk where he 466 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 11: allegedly said that you know, if and when he were 467 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 11: to die and he was in control of Opennie, he 468 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 11: would pass it along to his children. Now you know 469 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 11: that's openiey saying it, but also said that, you know, 470 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 11: Musk wanted control in the early days, but wasn't really 471 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 11: willing to sign documentations saying that control would lift at 472 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 11: some point. In his own testimony, Musk has said, yeah, 473 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 11: he might have had control early on, but the expectation 474 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 11: was more investors would come in and eventually he wouldn't 475 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 11: have that same level of control and. 476 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 5: Beg Seth Figerman. We so appreciate the round up. We 477 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 5: have some breaking. 478 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 4: News though that we must hit because crossing the terminal 479 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 4: right now, ARM and its majority owner soft Bank reportedly 480 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 4: tried to buy Cerebrus in an evenly split cash and 481 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 4: stock deal that would have valued the upstart at one 482 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 4: hundred billion dollars. According to sources, This all happened weeks 483 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 4: before the chip maker was due to make its public debut. 484 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 4: Of course, the person who's been busy breaking that story 485 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 4: and also come anchoring the show on air is one 486 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 4: Ed Ludlow. Talk us through it as to this was 487 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 4: happening in the background during May. 488 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, Cerebras is going to list tomorrow, right, and 489 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 3: this happened at the beginning of May. They very clearly 490 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 3: said no, we're not interested. But ARM and soft Bank, 491 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 3: which majority owns ARM, tried why very interesting. We can 492 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 3: get into it in the back half of the show 493 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 3: because there's a lot more to come on Bloomberg Tech. 494 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Bloomberg Tech. Let's get back to that 495 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 3: news that broke just a few moments ago. ARM and 496 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 3: its majority own a soft Bank tried to buy Cerebras. 497 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: That's according to sources. 498 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 3: My understanding is this all happened in the last couple 499 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 3: of weeks, early May, and it's just before Cerebras, the 500 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 3: chip maker is Judo public day. They were robuffed, you know, 501 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 3: Cerebras said no. My understand is and understanding his ARM 502 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 3: and soft Bank would have happily paid a premium, big premium, 503 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 3: but Cerebras backs itself, and its leadership back backs them, 504 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 3: and the investors backed them to do this alone as 505 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 3: a public company. 506 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 4: I mean, look at the demand for its IPO looks 507 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 4: going to be pricing today. We understand that it's going 508 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 4: to price at the top end of the marketed range 509 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 4: up to one hundred and sixty dollars plus. 510 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 5: We're seeing maybe the biggest. 511 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 4: Amount raised in a semiconductor. 512 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 5: Name since ARM went public. Maybe even more of the 513 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 5: green shoe allotment is used. 514 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 4: But why would ARM and Cerebras have been sort of 515 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 4: a useful synergy here? 516 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 3: Well, because you know, ARM goes from being a chip 517 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 3: designer to wanting to be a chip maker like actually 518 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 3: sell directly into the market, and Cerebras this in this 519 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 3: phase of inference in AI the broader infrastructure play it 520 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 3: backs itself as well. Anyway, I should just probably note 521 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 3: that all of the parties involved declined to comment or 522 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 3: did not immediately respond to comment to Bloomberg. We should 523 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 3: check in on our markets, because markets being than by 524 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 3: what's happening in Beijing. Then, as that one hundred modestly 525 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 3: higher four tenths percent US listed Chinese companies that's the 526 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 3: Golden Dragon China Index up four percent. 527 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 2: A big part of this is in Nvidia. 528 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 3: Shares of Chinese AI model developers in particular surged after 529 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 3: in video CEO Jensen Wang was announced to be joining 530 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: President Trump's China trip. Shares of Minimax and GPU on 531 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 3: the hopes of progress on Nvidia's ability to sell chips 532 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 3: into China. Look at those gains overnight Bloomberg's Chinese Equities report. 533 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 3: Henry Renn is with us. Henry, look at those gains overnight. 534 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 3: I mean the response in Asia trading was interesting. 535 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. 536 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 12: So the last minute trip by Jensen Vana's boasting the 537 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 12: morale of mainland traders. We're seeing double digit gains in 538 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 12: the likes of Tupol and Minima Access well the Chinese 539 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 12: model makers, but not limited to that. That has obviously 540 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 12: spread to today's US trading session as well. We see Ali, Baba, JD, 541 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 12: the likes of those Chinese tech names also trading hire 542 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 12: in mainland session. We have the Chinax Index, which is 543 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 12: China's equivalent of Nasdaq for those young tech companies also 544 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 12: soaring to a record. So there are some optimism that 545 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 12: China and US could strike some form of deals on 546 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 12: chip x sports. And remember that Nvidia has gained approval 547 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 12: from Washington to sell h two hundred chips into China 548 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 12: since end. 549 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: Of last year. 550 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 12: But still that there are some hopes that for more 551 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 12: powerful models can be used. 552 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 4: Really interesting that you bring up Ali Baba because actually 553 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 4: Ali Baba Tencent, they gave us fundamentals as well. 554 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 5: They came out with their earnings. 555 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 4: And thus far they're investing a ton, but the return 556 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 4: on that investment from AI investment just doesn't seem to 557 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 4: be there yet. 558 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's the huge issue that the market is focusing 559 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 12: on today with both company reporting results, so probably we 560 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 12: can start from Ali Baba. So the company, I think 561 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 12: it does reassure investors because it's said it's cloud revenue 562 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 12: grew by about forty percent in the first quarter, and 563 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 12: that's the key number that market has been focusing on. 564 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 2: That's an acceleration from. 565 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 12: The quarter earlier, so it does show that there are 566 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 12: some AI trajectory going on. And in the meantime, it's 567 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 12: also saying that for its AI related revenue related to 568 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 12: its models as well as application services, that will reach 569 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 12: about one hundred ten billion R and B for the 570 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 12: June quarter, so that's a helpful additional disclosure as well. 571 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 12: So it does show some AI momentum, but at the 572 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 12: same time that Capex has been soaring as you mentioned, Yeah. 573 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 4: I mean while ten Cent reported this last place of 574 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 4: revenue growth in over a year. Henry Rens always great 575 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 4: to catch up with you and the latest and all 576 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 4: things China and AI. But now let's take a look 577 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 4: at today's big number. It's around AI and it's over 578 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 4: nine hundred billion dollars. This is Athropits targeted new valuation, 579 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 4: according to sources who say the company is in early 580 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 4: talks with investors to raise at least thirty billion dollars 581 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 4: lush financing. It could set the stage what maybe the 582 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 4: largest funding round yet for the company, though the deal 583 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 4: it's not been finalized, no term sheet has been signed. 584 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 4: Natasha Mascarenes, who joins us now, who helped break this 585 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 4: story alongside Ed and just tell us a little bit 586 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 4: about the inbounds, almost the love letters they've been receiving 587 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 4: from potential investors. 588 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 13: It's a great way to describe it, Caroline. I mean, 589 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 13: a few weeks ago, these were conversations that were coming 590 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 13: completely unsolicited from Anthropics backers. Now we have reporting that 591 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 13: they are engaging in those conversations and discussing around that 592 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 13: could see them raise at least thirty billion, and sources 593 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 13: are telling us that the round could close as soon 594 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 13: as the end of this month. It's one that we're 595 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 13: tracking very closely and definitely the biggest update we've had 596 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 13: on the round throughout this circus of interest. 597 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 3: You know, the private markets are alive, you know, to 598 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 3: put it mildly, and it's interesting this Hasha that you know, 599 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 3: Anthropic feels comfortable now with this valuation here. We've gone 600 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 3: from a place in just the last two or three 601 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 3: weeks where they a rebuffed office and now you know, 602 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 3: we don't want to do this. But the main thing 603 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 3: that's happened in the interim is that Claude continues to 604 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 3: have Amnum enterprise adoption of Enthropic, and then there's the 605 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 3: Mefos government angle give us the sort of awkward elephant 606 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 3: in the room, which is that if they close this round, 607 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 3: they will have evaluation higher than open AI. 608 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 5: Absolutely. 609 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 13: I mean, this is a massive narrative shift around Anthropic 610 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 13: and we've been covering it relentlessly. Our understanding is that 611 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 13: the investor interest far exceeds how much Anthropic will actually 612 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 13: end up accepting from investors, and so you are seeing 613 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 13: them maybe be picky on valuation. 614 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 5: Lead investor. 615 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 13: The term shit is not officially signed as of our 616 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 13: reporting last evening, but we do expect that to change, 617 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 13: you know, as fast as we're able to confirm it. 618 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 13: And so the real question and what we're looking at 619 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 13: next is, let's say Anthropic closes us around as per 620 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 13: our sources as soon as the end of this month. 621 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 13: Does this change their IPO timeline? Does it need to 622 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 13: change their IPO timeline? I mean, you guys just had 623 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 13: Brian Schimp from Andral on the show who was saying 624 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 13: that Andreol was raising just a quarter of what AAI 625 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 13: financing is. I'm curious what you think ed about if this, 626 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 13: does you know, change when we see the sprite officially 627 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 13: filed for Ananthropic, Well. 628 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 3: It depends what happens with SpaceX June July. Does that 629 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 3: sock Oxygen out of the room. But again, if the 630 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 3: private markets provide, what's the need to go public? Bloombasin 631 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 3: Tash Mascaranus teaming up on another big twist and turn 632 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 3: in the Anthropic story. 633 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 4: Some breaking news regarding Misral, the AI giant of France 634 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 4: is apparently developing a new AI model for banks who 635 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 4: lack access to Mythos. This is all about cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Already, 636 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 4: Mistral of France had been working with local European banks 637 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 4: to have a new model that would stress test cyber 638 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 4: risks around the banks and more broadly in their systems. 639 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 4: When now we understand those banks of course have been 640 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 4: wanting access to Mythos, and now Mistral is looking to 641 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 4: develop this new model that can uncover cybersecurity vulnerabilities at 642 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 4: unprecedented speed and ScaleOut reporting. 643 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: All according to Bloomberg's sources. 644 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 3: Okay, Varda Space is planning to send medicines from United 645 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 3: Therapeutics into orbit to explore the use of microgravity in 646 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 3: creating drugs. 647 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: It's one of the first commercial. 648 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 3: Research deals to develop medicine molecules in space and then 649 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 3: return them to Earth. That the mission still in its 650 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 3: early stages. I speak with Varda CEO Will Brewy. Let's 651 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 3: talk timeline. This is exciting development for you guys because 652 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 3: it's a real commercial opportunity. When does it happen? What 653 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 3: are the steps to start working with United. 654 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 14: Yeah, thanks for having me ed. It's happening now, which 655 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 14: is really exciting. The research has been done for decades 656 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 14: and so now we're moving into the commercial phase. VARDA 657 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 14: has been flying for years, and so this commercial endeavor 658 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 14: will be putting drugs into space in the next year. 659 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 14: We're working on those drugs right now in the lab 660 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 14: with United. 661 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 4: And when they're in space, what are you hoping to prove? 662 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,479 Speaker 5: What are you hoping to see? Where does this drive United? 663 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 14: So the most confusing thing about VARDA is the space part. 664 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 14: If you just imagine we had an anti gravity technically, 665 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 14: admit it. 666 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you imagine. 667 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 14: We had an anti gravity technology where we could manipulate 668 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 14: chemical systems on Earth to improve formulations in a way 669 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 14: that would otherwise be impossible. And by formulation I mean 670 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 14: going from like an IV bag to a shot or 671 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 14: better bioavailability. Then it would make total sense. Now is 672 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 14: shipping the space is becoming just shipping. We can access 673 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 14: microgravity in a way that helps patients. 674 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 3: Today, I've had the opportunity to sort of interact with 675 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 3: I don't know you called it a spacecraft or if 676 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 3: you call it a minifactory, but just go through the 677 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 3: basics of who's the launch provider, what happens when you 678 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 3: get into low Earth all a bit? And then how 679 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,239 Speaker 3: long typically is the spacecraft will capsule in all bit? 680 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 14: Sure, So I'll even step back just because we're so 681 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 14: excited about this United announcement today. First, we work with 682 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 14: the customers before we even get there, and we develop 683 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 14: a microgravity enabled formulation on the ground in our lab 684 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 14: in cooperation and partnership with United. Once those microgravity enabled 685 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 14: formulations are ready for flight, what does that. 686 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 5: Look like like gravity enabled formula? 687 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 14: It means that the temperature, profile, the concentration, all the 688 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 14: parameter that would go into any other drug formulation now 689 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 14: has the option of turning off gravity during the process, 690 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 14: which means we can make a new outcome for patients. 691 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 14: So then what we do is, once we have that formulation, 692 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 14: we load it into our spacecraft. Our launch provider is SpaceX. 693 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 14: We launch put our spacecraft onto a Falcon nine rocket 694 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 14: dedicated rideshare, which is great because now we get to 695 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 14: take advantage of good costs and frequent availability to space. 696 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 14: So now the spacecraft separates from the rocket like it 697 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 14: would any other satellite, So it looks like a satellite 698 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 14: to SpaceX. You can fit twenty of these things on 699 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 14: a single rocket. It's now orbiting the Earth. We do 700 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 14: the manufacturing process where there isn't gravity affecting the sedimentation 701 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 14: of the crystals, and then once those properties are locked in, 702 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 14: our spacecraft flies itself back to earth lands in Australia. 703 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 14: And now we have the drug for patients. 704 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 5: And what does it help patients with? 705 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,959 Speaker 4: I mean, how is this going to unleash a whole 706 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 4: new area of medicine. 707 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,280 Speaker 14: It's wild because it's gravity is a fundamental force of physics, 708 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 14: so it's extremely broad technology, anything from bioavailability to shelf stability. 709 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 14: A classic example that was flown on the International Space 710 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 14: Station was going for from an IV bag to a shot. 711 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 14: So imagine you're in rural America and you don't have 712 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 14: access to a clinic. You now have access to the 713 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 14: drug because that same drug can be form factored into 714 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 14: a shot instead of an IV bag, and that shot 715 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 14: can come to you instead of. 716 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 2: You having to go to the clinic. 717 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 3: We're showing images right, this is images of vod of 718 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 3: returning to Earth. So this sounds ridiculous, and I'll say 719 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 3: it anyway. You try and land in Australia. That seems 720 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 3: quite easy. Australia is quite big. Actually it's not. How 721 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 3: restrictive is that that landing pad of it of one 722 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 3: continental nation? 723 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 14: Yes, yes, so more than try. I mean we've done 724 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 14: this now four or five times. And the reason I 725 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 14: say four or five one of them was in Utah 726 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 14: and the rest were in Australia. 727 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 2: But that go in Utah. Oh, it was great. 728 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 14: I mean, you know mission that was our first mission success. 729 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 2: See. Yeah. 730 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 14: The thing that's nice about Australia is it's a commercial range, 731 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 14: so we don't need to get in the way of 732 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 14: the military operations that are happening at our test ranges, 733 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 14: so we can not disturb them while while landing commercially. 734 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 14: But it's great, I mean it makes the the the 735 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 14: process way easier. 736 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 5: You're excited about United Therapeutics deal. Where next? How what 737 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 5: does this prove out for others? 738 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 14: Well, this is just the tip of the tip of 739 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 14: the iceberg because it's such a broad technology that affects 740 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 14: so many drugs. You know, United is kind of in 741 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 14: the future and they have been for quite some time, 742 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 14: and so we're really lucky to work with such a 743 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 14: crack team. But this technology is broad, so it applies 744 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 14: to a wide variety of pharmaceuticals for a wide variety 745 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 14: of patients. 746 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 4: Well as that starts to go up into space, come 747 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 4: back join us. Wilbury, CEO of Art of Space, on 748 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 4: that new announcement. Meanwhile, there's been plenty of announcements coming 749 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 4: out about agentic commerce and international expansion from a firm. 750 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 5: It's just been. 751 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 4: Reporting yesterday at the company's twenty twenty six investor forum, 752 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 4: the fintech company is laying out a bold roadmap to 753 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 4: one hundred billion dollars in annual volume. Look, CEO Max 754 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 4: Levchen and plans to say, joins us in New York 755 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 4: and I'm sad I'm not their next to you, Max, 756 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 4: but to tell us about what you're in a I 757 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 4: know too far, but I'm in interested in what you 758 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 4: told the investors, the analyst community in New York yesterday 759 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 4: and for the next few days. 760 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 5: How do you get to that sort of volume? Where 761 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 5: are the growth factors you? 762 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 15: The exciting thing is that literally everything we have been 763 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 15: working towards is coming together and working incredibly well. We 764 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 15: held a similar event three years ago and promise investors 765 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 15: will get to fifty billion dollars of growth merchandise volume, 766 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 15: our merchant sales that we power, and we will do 767 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 15: so by maintaining while maintaining our profit margins within three 768 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 15: and four percent, we will grow at twenty percent per 769 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 15: year or so. That that was the story we told 770 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 15: them three years ago. We've now come back. We're now 771 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,760 Speaker 15: basically at that fifty billion dollar mark. He would expect 772 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,720 Speaker 15: us to slow down, but instead we told our investor 773 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 15: based yesterday, we expect to grow twenty five percent compounding, 774 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 15: so five points extra, and we intend to up the 775 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,479 Speaker 15: floor of our profitability from three to three point seventy 776 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 15: five percent. So not only are we growing faster, not 777 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 15: only are we reaching more consumers, more merchants, we intend 778 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 15: to do this more profitably, and we feel it's just 779 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 15: getting better and better for us. So that's the that's 780 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 15: the headline. And you know, I read a lot of 781 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 15: conversations yesterday that seem to indicate that our investors quite 782 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 15: enjoying the news. 783 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 3: Mac Max just very simply, why is a one hundred 784 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 3: billion dollar volume target the right target? 785 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 2: The right metric? 786 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 3: When people try and understand a firm like you, come 787 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 3: the show often and we talk about the different offerings 788 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 3: and some of the newer products that you're doing this 789 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 3: kind of north star or achievable goal. Probably to your mind. 790 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 3: It's really interesting that you've set that as it. 791 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 15: You know, it is just a waypoint. We have absolutely 792 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 15: no intention of slowing down or stopping at one hundred 793 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 15: is just another nice round number that we can set 794 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,479 Speaker 15: our sights to. But we do see an incredible market pull. 795 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 15: Consumers are ready, they are coming to us. We are 796 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 15: now seeing inbounds from consumers that have didn't discover us 797 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,959 Speaker 15: at the point of sale, which is the usual way 798 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 15: just signing up for from asking us to send them 799 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 15: a card so they can transact everywhere. That's been a 800 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 15: huge poll that's contributed to our growth tremendously. Merchants come 801 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 15: to us saying, I've seen your logo on my competitor sites. 802 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 15: I know you're driving ten to twenty percent more sales 803 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 15: for them. 804 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 16: You should do the same for us. 805 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 15: Let us sign up, you should promote our sales events, 806 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 15: tell us merchants in your app. Because we're now reaching 807 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 15: fifteen million monthly consumers and so on. So just the 808 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 15: tremendous amount of we're finally a real scalable thing that 809 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 15: every constitution cares about a lot is what gives us 810 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,320 Speaker 15: the confidence to go towards this new milestone. 811 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 4: AMS liked it, like obviously talking about the pending Industrial 812 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 4: Bank Charter. That could be another strength area than the 813 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 4: fact that you've got competitive advantage. But take us to 814 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 4: the future and the agentic commerce future, because we talk 815 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 4: about it a lot on the show and you are 816 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 4: already doing deals with Google. 817 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 5: What does that look like in. 818 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 4: Terms of how I'm going to be having a relationship 819 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 4: with a firm going forward. 820 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 15: I think it's going to be incredible. I cannot be 821 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 15: more excited about this new AI powered future in many 822 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,919 Speaker 15: different facets As an engineer, as a coder, I love 823 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 15: what we have today. As a consumer, as a buyer 824 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 15: of complicated things, I love the help that a I 825 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 15: provides me when I research the finer points of you know, 826 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 15: whatever it is that I'm the matter now. A firm 827 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 15: is a great tool of buying things that are meaningful 828 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 15: that when it matters. That's when consumers come to us. 829 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 15: They want anything from a bicycle to a couch to 830 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 15: the expressing machine. During those moments, you want to know 831 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 15: that the financing choice you're making has your back that 832 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 15: you're not going to get hit with some unexpected fees. 833 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 15: You know exactly when you're going to start and stop 834 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 15: with your payments. 835 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 2: That's what we've built, and. 836 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 15: Agents just make it that much easier to bring to 837 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 15: the end consumer. And the brand we've built allows people 838 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 15: to trust us. The fact that we're able to partner 839 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 15: with LM providers allows us to be right there when 840 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 15: consumers are searching and doing the research. So it's just 841 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 15: an incredible incremental growth engine that we found. 842 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 3: Max, you're again emphasizing the word built. You do that often. 843 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 3: But how does quickly, Max Leftchin, think about M and 844 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 3: A in a firm's future. 845 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 15: You know, we've looked for years. We haven't found anything 846 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 15: in the last few so never say never. But we 847 00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 15: have so much to do just with a team that 848 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 15: we have. It's you know, when opportunities come up, well, 849 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 15: of course, look at them, but we're very focused on 850 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 15: building a firm here. 851 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 3: Max Leftchin back on Bloomberg Tech, thank you very much 852 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 3: for your time today. Now coming out, we're going to 853 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 3: get the bank to what to expect from President Trump's meeting. 854 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 3: Regijen Ping and will Ai be in focus. Probably this 855 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 3: is Bloomberg. 856 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 4: Tech, it's time now for talking tech and first start. 857 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 4: Softbag posted a jump in profit fueled by valuation games 858 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,919 Speaker 4: on its open AI investment. Kano Mascioshi San has spent 859 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 4: the last year pivoting the company's focus from bench startups 860 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 4: to silicon and data centers. 861 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 5: Plus, following a visit. 862 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 4: From Scott Besant, Japan's three megabanks are set to gain 863 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,919 Speaker 4: access to anthropics powerful mythos models, according to the person 864 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 4: Familie with the matter Now. The move comes despite a 865 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 4: widespread alarm over Mythos and speculation about its potential cybersecurity 866 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 4: risks and Nevius Well. It's emerging as a powerhouse in 867 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 4: the AI data center gold rush, reporting a six hundred 868 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 4: and eighty four percent jump in first quarter sales on 869 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 4: increased demand for its own data center. The company competes 870 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,439 Speaker 4: with the range of neocloud startups like Callweve that rent 871 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 4: out competing resources to AI developers. 872 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 3: ED okay, just go back to what everyone's talking about today, 873 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,760 Speaker 3: and that's President Trump's meeting, was ujingping and what to expect. 874 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 3: Bloomberg Senior Tech editor Mike Shephard joins us from DC 875 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 3: GO to our senior tech editor. Because there is a 876 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,919 Speaker 3: big delegation of tech CEOs with the president. Jensen Wong 877 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 3: is with him and those are the issues on the table. 878 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 17: Those are the addition at the last minute in a 879 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,280 Speaker 17: really dramatic move of Jensen Wang to the trip certainly 880 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 17: thrust artificial intelligence to the center of the discussions. 881 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 16: It's unclear what sort of progress we. 882 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 17: Will actually see in the areas that are most dear 883 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 17: to Nvidia and that would be gaining more access to 884 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,439 Speaker 17: the Chinese market. They have one US permission to sell 885 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 17: those h two hundred AI chips to customers in China, 886 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 17: but Chinese authorities have been reluctant to allow their own 887 00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 17: producers to buy those chips on mass and is they 888 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,840 Speaker 17: want to promote and protect their own domestic chip making 889 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 17: industry led by Huawei, led by Cambra Con and SMIC, 890 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,959 Speaker 17: and yet there is the tension on the other side. 891 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 17: They want their own artificial intelligence companies, the model developers 892 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 17: also the gain and edge and they have been clamoring 893 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 17: for that. And today we did see shares of Minimax 894 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 17: knowledge at lists and even today US traded shares of Ali, 895 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 17: Baba and bay Do all climb on the prospect that 896 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 17: there could be more compute going to China. 897 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 4: Talk to us about the names that were already solidified 898 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 4: as going, because Qualcom's going, Micron's going. Companies with exposure 899 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 4: to China and the one to increase where would they 900 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 4: be fitting in to the ultimate demand equation. 901 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 16: Here well the broader demand equation. 902 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 17: Of course, from Micron, they have their own separate issues 903 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 17: with China where they are almost company non grata at 904 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 17: a certain level. Their role in the memory market is 905 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 17: really key as well, and it's something that for chip 906 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 17: makers and developers worldwide they want to have a piece 907 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 17: of being able to contribute to the creation of AI 908 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 17: processors not only designed by Nvidium, by AMD, but by 909 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 17: other companies as well, so they could be looking to 910 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 17: push into there, and same with Qualcom. Qualcom of course 911 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 17: has a lot of business when it comes to chips 912 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 17: for mobile phones, and that could be a way in there. 913 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 16: More broadly, when we look at this trip and. 914 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 17: Its agenda, though, Caro, it's interesting that we see the 915 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 17: White House Science and Technology Policy Advisor Michael Kratzio's there, 916 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 17: and this could signal that AI and discussions around the 917 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,319 Speaker 17: technology will be really front and Center. We could see 918 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 17: the US raise concerns about the practice of distillation that 919 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 17: we have seen where AI models are unfairly extracted, and 920 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 17: also a working group created to discuss. 921 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 4: AI Mike Shepherd across all the latest coming between those 922 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 4: key talks in Beijing at the moment. 923 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 5: We appreciate you running it. 924 00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 4: Up, but that does it for this edition of bloom 925 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 4: Bag Tech. Right here from San Francisco. We've got to 926 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 4: get back to that breaking news that you helped break 927 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 4: in earlier this hour. Talk us through why ARM was 928 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 4: potentially looking to buy Cerebras. 929 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, ARM and SoftBank tried to buy Cerebras, Sobria said no, 930 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 3: they will go public tomorrow. But Cerebris makes supercomputers at 931 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 3: scale for inference, and that's where the AI story is 932 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 3: right now. That, of course, all according to Bloomberg sources. 933 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 3: Recap that story and many others on the podcast. You 934 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 3: know where to find it, Apple, Spotify, iHeart and all 935 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 3: of the Bloomberg platforms. 936 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Tech
