WEBVTT - Anthropic Gets a Warning, SpaceX Shares Fall on Fourth Day

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 2>This is Bloomberg Tech coming up.

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Anthropic gets a warning from the US Common Secretary saying

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 3>it needs government permission to grant foreign nationals access to

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 3>its most advanced AI models. Plus, after three days of soaring,

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 3>SpaceX shares come back down to earth and drop for

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 3>the first time in the company's fourth trading day, and

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Bloomberg reports Apple's upcoming camera equipped AirPods will launch in

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 3>late twenty twenty seven as part of a flurry of

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 3>new releases. There is a lot going on in the

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 3>world of technology, and that's playing out inequity markets, and

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 3>as that one hundred.

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Is seen a lot of churn and chop. We're up modestly,

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>few tenths percent.

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Chip stocks are rebounding, but we had a really big

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 3>drop in yesterday's session.

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 2>But remember as an.

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Index, as a bucket, chip stocks are up like ninety

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 3>percent year today and SpaceX that's a pretty reasonable pullback

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 3>down to one hundred and ninety three dollars per share,

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 3>down four percent, but had added nine hundred and thirty

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 3>billion dollars of market cap in the first three days

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 3>of its life as a public company.

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's get to the new stories and.

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 3>An extraordinary escalation in Washington's conflict with Anthropic. Bloomberg's obtained

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 3>a copy of the letter from Cover Secretary Howard Lutnik,

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 3>dated last Friday, warning that Enenthropic faces severe civil and

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>criminal penalties if it grants foreign nationals access to its

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 3>most advanced AI models. Bloomberg's editor in DC, Mike Shephard,

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 3>is with us for more. So, what do we learn

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 3>from the letter that's start there?

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, one of the things we actually didn't learn ed

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 4>was the rationale. What was the underlying security concer learn

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 4>that drove Howard Lutneck and the US government to take

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 4>such a drastic step as to order and impose export

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 4>controls on shipments and sharing of this sensitive technology. But

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 4>what we did learned was this that the government is

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:19.359
<v Speaker 4>using authorities that are typically reserved for dual use technology,

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 4>that is, products that could be applied for both civilian

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 4>and military purposes, and the government is invoking these authorities

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 4>in a way to try to prevent foreign nationals, perhaps

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 4>from leaking either intentionally or unintentionally, these whares, these products,

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 4>the top two AI models from Anthropic to foreign adversaries

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 4>of the US, and they are preparing to impose these

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 4>export controls and have them in place until further notice,

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 4>and they're warning it of criminal penalties and civil penalties

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 4>if Anthropic fails to comply.

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 3>Shep just very quickly. Let's re recap the reporting of

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 3>the show. Yesterday, technical staff of Anthropic went to DC

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 3>met with the administration.

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.239
<v Speaker 4>What do we know, Well, we haven't seen any further

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 4>signs of progress in the negotiations between the two sides.

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 4>We do, however, have today at the G seven Evion

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Dario Amidae, the Anthropic CEO, and President Donald Trump in

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 4>the same room for an AI lunch hosted by French

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 4>President Emmanuel Macron. Now, at the lunch, the two men

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 4>did not sit anywhere near each other, and it's unclear

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 4>whether they had any interactions or cydebars. But after his

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 4>bilateral meeting with Indian Prime Minister and Arundromodi, President Donald

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 4>Trump was asked well, how are things going with Anthropic,

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 4>and all he could say was going fine. We may

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 4>hear more from the President on this, but clearly it's

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 4>something that's on the mind of G seven leaders, and

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 4>Macron himself is pushing this idea of trusted partners for

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 4>sensitive technologies like anthropics AI models in which these partners

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 4>allied countries would be vetted by security authorities so that

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 4>they too could perhaps re access to centretive tech like

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 4>these two models.

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Bloomboks Mike Shepard, thank you very much. I want to

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 3>go deeper on that story. The G seven is underway

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 3>in vy On, France this week, and beyond geopolitical and

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 3>economic debates, AI is in the spotlight. The chief executives

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 3>of Open Ai, Anthropic and Google all on hand, joining

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 3>world leaders to discuss the global.

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Future of AI.

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.600
<v Speaker 3>The conversation comes as the US government indicates its willingness

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 3>to use emergency powers forcing private developers into compliance over

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 3>national security threats. The President of the United States also

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 3>in Evyon, and we expect to hear from him today.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Bloombirs Kle lines co hosts of Balance of Powers with US,

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 3>such an interesting dynamic, right power players, World leaders, AI

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 3>leaders recap.

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well and Mike spoke to some of this incredibly

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 5>well ed. Basically, what we have here is countries who

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 5>are all calling for a regulatory regime around AI. The

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 5>German Chancellor Friedrich Marks talked about the need for and

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 5>intensive discussion around that, also saying that all countries need

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 5>to have access to this technology and admitting fridrim Mertz

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 5>did that Europe needs to play catchup. And that's really

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 5>what's that issue here is we consider anthropic and these

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 5>export controls being slapped on in particular, is that Europe

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 5>doesn't have its own AI juggernauts such as those in

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 5>the United States. This is somewhere and we heard President

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 5>Trump speak to this earlier as well, that the United

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 5>States is leading in and Europe wants to be able

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 5>to trust that it can access the technology. Thus the

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 5>push to have Europe considered some of these trusted partners

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 5>who would be able to access this technology versus adversaries

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 5>like China for example, when we're considering things like Mythos

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 5>and Fable five. So this is obviously an active discussion.

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 5>We could hear more from President Trump about this, but

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 5>it also feeds into another issue that was raised at

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 5>the G seven summit. At as we consider the technology

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 5>questions that leaders are grappling with, it is also inputs

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 5>into certain technologies like rare earth and permanent magnets, and

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 5>we actually saw the G seven countries agreeing today to

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 5>cap their imported supply from China to sixty percent of

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 5>rares and permanent magnets by the year twenty thirty.

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 2>The ultimate goal, as soon.

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 5>As possible is to get those imports down to fifty percent,

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:15.720
<v Speaker 5>and they're going to by the end of this year

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 5>have a separate discussion around other critical minerals, but the

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 5>idea is reducing the dependence on China, which has shown

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.679
<v Speaker 5>a willingness to restrict exports of this market in which

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 5>they are dominant, not just in terms of mining these

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 5>rare earths, but also in the refining of them. This

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 5>is going to be a really ambitious target for these

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 5>countries to meet at is they have to work on

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 5>their own supply chains. Even officials of the G seven

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 5>are admitting that may mean imposing quotas on certain industries

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 5>like defense, for example. But this is actually one of

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 5>the big tangible items that is emerging from the G

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 5>seven summit, the sixty percent cap on rare earths from

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 5>China again by twenty thirty.

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 3>The mss kaye lyones, thank you very much, and of

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 3>course we expect to hear from the President about the

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 3>status of an agreement with Iran other topic that has

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 3>had direct impact on supply chains in tech, including semiconductors.

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 3>Stick with AI and video founder and CEO Jensen Wog

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 3>sat down with the AP to discuss the need to

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 3>build AI in a safe and responsible way. But beyond that,

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 3>he says, the US needs to harness the new technology

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 3>to stay ahead of the curve globally.

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Listen to this, We.

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 6>Have to be very careful that artificial intelligence, this new

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 6>next generation of technology revolution, that we're also enthusiastic about

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 6>the adopting it and make sure that we don't get left.

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Behind joining us now.

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Udecha Revu, a member of the portfolio management team for

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 3>the International Equity Strategy Desk at Harding Lovner. You know

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 3>something that's come up actually very recently yesterday's show was

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 3>what is the kind of black swan for this market

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 3>where we are right now?

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 2>And it might just be regulatory risk.

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Listening to what Jensen Wong had to say there, extrapolate

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 3>on that a little bit. You know, we're still unresolved

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 3>with China. Supply chains are impacted by the war, and

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 3>what's tep of mind for you right now?

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 6>Top of mind for us is a productivity gain. So

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 6>the return on equity that can be generated from AI

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 6>and how much people are embracing it and what purposes

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 6>are they using and what is the adoption curve and

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 6>the return on that adoption curve is what's on top

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 6>of our mind. And when we point out a less

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 6>regulatory risk might be less of an issue. The bigger

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 6>issue is going to be people have to take time

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 6>to digest what they're included, what AI they've started using

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 6>in their workplaces, and then understand the returns of it

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 6>before they can generate additional demand. And to us, the

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 6>timing of that is where the market might get moist,

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 6>might get most confused about, And to us, that's that

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 6>Blacks fundament. Short term risk might be extrapolated as long

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.559
<v Speaker 6>term risk, and that's where the market might overreact.

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Where do you look for the evidence of productivity's impact

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 3>from AI? You know, very recently and I think you're

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.319
<v Speaker 3>talking about in team markets, right. We had a conversation

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 3>ten days ago with San Francisco Fair president Mary Daily

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.959
<v Speaker 3>saying I don't see any evidence of productivity in this

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 3>country being impacted by AI, for better or worse.

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So from that, I think there's a number ways

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 6>to look at it. The first thing we do is

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 6>to talk to companies.

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 7>At the individual levels how they're adopting AI and what

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 7>impact that AI is having on either their cost management

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 7>or the sales that they're generating, or the activity that

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:28.439
<v Speaker 7>they're doing.

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 6>So one clear evidence that we find is people are

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.439
<v Speaker 6>able to do a lot more with a lot less

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 6>human resources or keeping human resources versus the same. What

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 6>we yet to see is that translate into profit growth

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 6>for anyone either, And that's to us is what the

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.719
<v Speaker 6>next step is going to be and trying to understand

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 6>where that profit growth is coming from. Most immediate is

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 6>that some costs can come down, but that cost is

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 6>being reinvested into AI, and to us, that's where that

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 6>discript in a secret come from.

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 3>We started the program saying there's been some choppy trading

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 3>and churn inequities in this morning session, at least remind

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 3>the audience that we have a FED decision and meeting today.

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:13.479
<v Speaker 2>The first of Kevin.

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 3>WASH's chair is that a factor for technology investors right now?

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 6>I don't think it's a factor for technology investors from

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 6>a fundamental perspective. We still are focused on what's happening

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 6>in the fundamental markets, and the market is reacting to

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 6>a lot of the fundamental news that's coming out. So

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 6>the investors, in my mind, have become more and more

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 6>sensitive to profit and what impact by AI is having

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 6>on profit versus revenue. Over the last two years, revenues, backlogs,

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 6>bookings was what the market's reacted to. It started to

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 6>turn in the last two quarters where revenue growth is

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 6>being given less of interest and more interesting into profit growth.

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 6>So I don't think we're there the point where the

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 6>interest rate changes itself will have a big impact on

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 6>it a longer run. It will because that's it's a

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.320
<v Speaker 6>discount rated which you mpv the future edge.

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's been it's been a long time since I've

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 3>said this out loud on Bloomberg Tech. But higher rates

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 3>discount the present value of future cash flows and continue

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 3>to remind ourselves at that point. Look, I won't ask

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.839
<v Speaker 3>you about SpaceX specifically, but there's this idea that that

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 3>presages a big i PO window, but more sophisticated than that.

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 3>After a long era of buybacks and other shareholder friendly policies,

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 3>lots of new equity will hit the market maybe this year.

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 2>How does that go for you? Sorry?

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead, So that's that creates a technical risk in

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 6>terms of where if anthropic and open AI come to

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 6>the market, the equity that's raised for that, and the

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 6>funding that's which that, where is that going to come from,

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 6>Which which sick does the market? Which part of the market.

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 6>And we've seen some of the some of the reason

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 6>why the semi conductors have done so well is softly

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 6>it has underperformed. So what are the segments of the

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 6>markets are going to underform? So they are going to

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 6>be technical factors and they'll become even more important in

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 6>the market in the next six months.

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Just very quickly, French President Makran saying in his own

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 3>presser in Avon, it's good that the US realizes the

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 3>dangers of frontier AI models. We're showing live pictures of

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 3>him speaking at the G seven. This idea of government

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 3>intervention and dictation on how technology can or can't be used.

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 3>How is that playing out in the market mood right now?

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 6>I think it's not as important to the market at

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 6>this point in time because we're still trying to understand

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 6>what are the capabilities of AI, and there's so much

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 6>latent demand in even the previous generational models that we're

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 6>less concerned about is there going to be the next

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.439
<v Speaker 6>generation going to be restricted? Well, we're still having used

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 6>the full capacity or the previous generations, So let's do

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 6>that and understand what the teram of that is before

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 6>we're worried about the next generation.

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Like I said, there is a lot going on in

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 3>the world of technology this morning, Harding Love and a

0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.679
<v Speaker 3>portfolio manager who they threw a great to have you

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 3>back on show, Thank you very much. Coming up, we're

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 3>going to hear from HPECO Antonio Neeri story about let's

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 3>make networking great again in the world of AI.

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 2>That's next. This is Prittberg Tech.

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 3>As AI infrastructure scales attention shifting beyond the chips to networking.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.560
<v Speaker 3>HPE is betting the demand and its Juniper acquisition will

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 3>be a major growth driver. I sat down with HPE

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 3>President and CEO Antonio and Ery listen to this.

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 8>We believe and has been for now three years plus,

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 8>that networking is the core foundation to deliver AI across

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.760
<v Speaker 8>many aspects of the market, not just the enterprise, but

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 8>obviously to train these models because networking is also the

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 8>bottleneck to get the best productivities for all the GPUs

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 8>of the point all over the world, and so Juniper

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 8>has been a key thesis of that. We understood in

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.239
<v Speaker 8>twenty twenty three when we start thinking about the acquisition

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 8>of Juniper with Rami, which was the CEO of Juniper

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 8>and now leading our combined networking business, that this is

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 8>a massive opportunity and the combination of Juniper and HPE

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 8>and particularly with compute storage general green Lake platform will

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 8>allows us to differentiate the market. So clearly is going

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 8>to be the driving force as we go forward, because

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 8>enterprises need to put that foundation in place and then

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 8>the cloud experience around it. Because AI is the definition

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 8>of a hybrid world load and tarry.

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 3>That's pretend for a moment that the Bloomberg Tech audience

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 3>is not familiar with networking. They know all about the GPUs,

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 3>they know all about the high bandwidth memory, But what

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 3>is it that we're talking about materially here.

0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, when we think about AI and we think about

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 8>the amount of accelerating computing through the GPUs we are

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 8>plowing today, you have to connect all of them together

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 8>in a parallel process. And that connectivity is the networking fabric,

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 8>and there are three.

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 9>Aspects of that.

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 8>One is in a raq think about the cabinet you

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 8>bring together seventy two or one hundred and forty four,

0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 8>that requires a lot of networking connectivity. That's what we

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.680
<v Speaker 8>call scale up. That's where Juniper is going to play

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 8>a bigger role with the introduction of AMD helios in

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.359
<v Speaker 8>the fall, where Juniper will be the de facto networking

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 8>fabric inside that architecture. And then when you start putting

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 8>cabinets together in large data centers, you need to connect

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 8>these cabinets all together, and that's what we'll scale out

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 8>and that's also Juniper. And then finally, as we build

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 8>these amazing data centers all over the world, you have

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 8>to connect them with each other, and that's what we

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 8>call scale across. And that's where our Juniper routing business

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 8>excel because we have one of the best platforms in

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 8>the world. So that's why networking so relevant to train

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 8>models and to influence models.

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 3>That was Hpe CEO, Antnio and Ery. There is a

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 3>lot going on the world of technology, so many news stories.

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's get out to New York and Bloombergs. You hire

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 3>and and you hire a HI I.

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 10>Ed it's time out for talking tech. First up AI

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 10>creditors are taking over software company Medalia. It's an effort

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 10>led by Blackstone after owner Toma Bravo said it would

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 10>not inject fresh cash into the struggling SaaS company creditors

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 10>will invest one hundred and fifty million dollars into the

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 10>company to curb it's debt and accelerate AI efforts. Plus

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 10>SoftBank says it's becoming harder to find Latin American startups

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.280
<v Speaker 10>that are ready for major investments.

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 9>The company says fewer.

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 10>Firms in the region are meeting the requirements for its

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 10>preferred investments of fifty million.

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 9>Dollars or more.

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 10>It's a big shift from just a few years ago

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 10>when Latin American startups were attracting record amounts of venture

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 10>capital and we end on Lenovo it is the latest

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 10>company tapping the debt market look to raise two billion

0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 10>dollars through a convertible bond sale. The Beijing base, maker

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 10>of PCs and AI servers, is returning to the market

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.640
<v Speaker 10>just two years after securing a similar size investment from

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 10>Saudi Arabia's sovereign Wealth Fund. It says the money will

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.479
<v Speaker 10>be used to refinance debts and buy back shares.

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Ed thank you, Hira as we discussed earlier, the US

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.720
<v Speaker 3>is total anthropic not to give foreign nationals access to

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 3>its most powerful models, but CEO Dario Amiday says the

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.919
<v Speaker 3>best defense against those risks is getting the technology to

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 3>cyber defenders. He spoke with Billiomberg's Emily Chang for the circuit.

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.119
<v Speaker 11>If this helps defenders, it also helps attackers.

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 12>Can we defend anything anymore?

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 13>What I would say is that the reason that we're

0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 13>giving Mythos to defenders before we give it to attackers

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.200
<v Speaker 13>is to patch all the bugs. I don't know, as

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.480
<v Speaker 13>the models get better, there may be more and more

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.400
<v Speaker 13>bugs to be found, but there's only so many. They're finite, right.

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 13>It's like you have this surface and there's only so

0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 13>many holes in it.

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.240
<v Speaker 2>You patch all the holes.

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 13>And then the surface becomes very hard to attack as

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 13>well as the code itself is written with the powerful models,

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 13>so it's it's then becomes very hard to find flaws

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.400
<v Speaker 13>in or break into. So I think on the other

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:15.120
<v Speaker 13>side of this, hopefully six months or a year from now,

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.399
<v Speaker 13>we have a much more secure Internet ecosystem than we

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 13>had in the past. We're trying to get to that

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 13>world and we're doing the best we can to open

0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 13>up Mythos to new cyber defenders. We've been talking to

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 13>the government. We're very respectful of their recommendations. They're slowing

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 13>the pace at which we open it up because they're

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 13>worried about counterintelligence risk. I think that's sensible. I think

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.480
<v Speaker 13>all serious people here understand that there's real trade offs here.

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 2>We see a lot of.

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.880
<v Speaker 13>Sniping from people on Twitter and from you know, from

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 13>other AI companies. You look at what they're saying and

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:50.640
<v Speaker 13>the inconsistency with.

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 2>What they're doing.

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 9>It's not they're not serious people.

0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:58.879
<v Speaker 13>They're not seriously engaging with the the serious trade offs

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 13>that that that that we have here. Look, I have

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 13>customers calling me up every day saying I want access

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.159
<v Speaker 13>to Mythos. I have countries calling me up scene I

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.880
<v Speaker 13>want access to Mythos. And I have the US government

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.120
<v Speaker 13>and my security team saying no, wait a minute, there's

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.640
<v Speaker 13>risk to it. You know, I'm not saying one side

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 13>or the other is right. I think it's somewhere in between.

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.719
<v Speaker 13>Both sides have valid points, but there's a real challenge

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 13>here and we need to face it together as a society.

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 3>That was Anthropics CEO Dario ami Day, speaking with Bloomberg's

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Emily Chang.

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 2>You can catch that full.

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Episode of the circuit later today on Bloomberg TV and

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:39.679
<v Speaker 3>on Bloomberg dot com. SpaceX shares come back down to

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 3>earth dropping for the first time. It's only the company's

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 3>fourth trading day since that blockbuster ipo, puts the stock

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 3>on track to snap three days of gains, where the

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 3>shares had pushed nearly fifty percent above the IPO price

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 3>and added almost to trillion dollars of market cap. Bloomberg

0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Actacies reporter common Rhyanikey is trying to keep track of

0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 3>numbers that in real time keep changing. I mean, what

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 3>is the what is happening right now? Right there is scarcity.

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 3>There is only four percent of this company available for

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:10.440
<v Speaker 3>trade on the float.

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 2>What's the big thing here?

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.320
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, So I think we're seeing some of the keynote,

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 12>you know, volatility that can be associated with new IPOs

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 12>in their earliest days of trading right here today, I mean,

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:23.359
<v Speaker 12>shares are down six percent right now, We're a little

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 12>bit off the lows of the day for SpaceX, but

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 12>this is a pretty extreme drop. It was up about

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.399
<v Speaker 12>six percent earlier in the session. Has paired all of

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:33.880
<v Speaker 12>that to decline here, we know that there's a low

0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 12>flow that can make swings in the stock price look

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.399
<v Speaker 12>extra large or bigger than maybe than they usually would,

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 12>and that can also then have an impact on market caps.

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 12>So yesterday we reported that SpaceX had jumped over Amazon

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 12>in market value and that's a little bit up in

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 12>the air today. We'll see where it ends at today's close.

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 3>There's also like the listed options right the options market

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 3>came into play over the last time for hours. Is

0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 3>that a factor in the volatility?

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.680
<v Speaker 12>It definitely can be. I mean, you know, traders are

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 12>obviously now making bets on where SpaceX shares go next.

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 12>You know, they're buying puts and calls. They're trying to

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 12>additionally sort of game this system or see if they

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 12>there's extra you know alpha here. One thing that we

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.239
<v Speaker 12>have heard or seen that is that options contracts are

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.359
<v Speaker 12>that are pretty expensive. You know, investor Michael Burry wrote

0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 12>in a sub stack note yesterday that he was looking

0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 12>at puts and they were just too expensive to buy

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.159
<v Speaker 12>right now. So I think we have a lot of

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.960
<v Speaker 12>traders looking there. We have more options trading actually coming

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 12>online in the next few weeks from other pens.

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.400
<v Speaker 3>That's a that's a volatility premium, just really really quick.

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 2>And I know this is unfair.

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Do we even look at price to sales ratio for SpaceX?

0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 2>What's the point?

0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 12>That's a great question. I mean, I think the point

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 12>is just in comparing it to some of these other

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 12>large companies where it now has a similar market value, right.

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 12>I mean, it brought in about nineteen billion dollars in

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.800
<v Speaker 12>revenue last and if you compare that to Microsoft, that is,

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.919
<v Speaker 12>you know, it's fifteen times hire. So it's good to

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 12>keep that in mind sort of as we look at

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:09.160
<v Speaker 12>the value of this company.

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:11.959
<v Speaker 3>We hope to talk a lot more about the company

0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 3>a little later in the program. Bloomber's corm Ryanikey, thank

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:16.440
<v Speaker 3>you very much. Indeed, there's a lot of news from

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:21.479
<v Speaker 3>Bloomberg as well. Apple's investors are frustrated the iPhone maker

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 3>has been slow to deliver on AI promises, even with

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 3>its latest Serie AI features, and after a disappointing performance

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 3>at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference last week, investors are

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.800
<v Speaker 3>becoming a little bit impatient. Bloomber's Michael Reagan leads the

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.920
<v Speaker 3>team that's been writing about this. It's interesting, right, Actually,

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.719
<v Speaker 3>I was staring at the chart and being like, what

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:42.719
<v Speaker 3>are the shares telling me? In the days since I

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:46.680
<v Speaker 3>was in Coopertino. But that's still the same story. Everyone

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 3>wants to see a little bit more from Apple.

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. You know, as

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 14>you're familiar with, it's not uncommon for there to be

0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 14>a lot of optimism ahead of the Developers conference from

0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 14>Apple and then a little bit of a letdown and

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 14>there's not really a big bang product announcement. So yeah,

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 14>the investors we've talked to are basically saying we're just

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 14>hoping for a little bit more oomph from their AI offerings,

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 14>their Apple Intelligence offerings. So there's a little bit of

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 14>disappointment that Siri will only be in beta mode in September,

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:23.160
<v Speaker 14>only available in English, not available in Europe or Asia.

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 14>So a bit of a disappointment there. But I would say,

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.720
<v Speaker 14>you know, Apple stock is still it's up ten percent

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.399
<v Speaker 14>this year, It's right in line with S and P

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 14>five hundred.

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:33.680
<v Speaker 2>But I think it.

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 14>Goes back to those chip makers. You're just talking to people,

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.639
<v Speaker 14>are you know, turning their head over there and seeing

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 14>these triple digit gains. You know, there's something like a

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.879
<v Speaker 14>dozen chip makers in the Nasdaq one hundred with triple

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.879
<v Speaker 14>digit gains this year and just saying, you know what,

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 14>we wish Apple had been a little bit more ahead

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:53.879
<v Speaker 14>of the curve, a little bit more aggressive with AI.

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.119
<v Speaker 14>Now that said, we do have these days in the

0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 14>market where everybody starts second guessing all the capex involved it,

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 14>and that's when Apple sort of becomes almost your defensive

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:07.280
<v Speaker 14>tech stock play. So there is a little bit disappointment,

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 14>But you know, at the end of the day, this

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:12.440
<v Speaker 14>is Apple with this fortress balance sheet, still looking at

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:16.719
<v Speaker 14>fifteen percent revenue growth for this physical year. So you know,

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 14>I don't think we can make too much out of

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 14>the disappointment from the from the developers conference.

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Just very quick, Mike, there was there was a part

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.679
<v Speaker 3>of our report on this that basically seems to indicate

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:29.719
<v Speaker 3>the market's more focused on the next hardware upgrade cycle.

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Just real quick, what are they talking about?

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly.

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:36.600
<v Speaker 14>I mean when you're looking at the iPhone that's coming

0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 14>out in September, you know what is sort of baked

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:44.119
<v Speaker 14>into the assumptions about, you know, how much growth we

0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 14>can we can see because of people refreshing buying new iPhones.

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.440
<v Speaker 14>Just because they're excited about the new one. So far,

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:52.960
<v Speaker 14>the you know, the the revenue estimates are pretty much

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 14>staying where they are, so it doesn't seem like they've

0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 14>really adding onto the estimates.

0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Following the conference, Michael Reagan with the Apple Stock story,

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:05.199
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much. Meanwhile, the company holds steady with

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 3>its AI ambitions, planning camera equipped AirPods, smart glasses, and

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 3>new foldable iPhones as part of this major product push,

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:16.680
<v Speaker 3>which will span the next two years. Bloomberg to Apple

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 3>and Consumer Tech editor Mark German is with us with

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:21.640
<v Speaker 3>the latest reporting. I just I read it a few times.

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 3>AirPods with camera and the new bit I think is

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:28.119
<v Speaker 3>the kind of timeline for launch. Go with that, Like,

0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:30.720
<v Speaker 3>what was the important bit of what you reported, Mark?

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 15>So these new camera AirPods are going to launch at

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 15>the end of twenty twenty seven. It's going to be

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:40.600
<v Speaker 15>a pretty blockbuster Fall of next year, that's the twentieth

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:42.360
<v Speaker 15>anniversary of the iPhone.

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:44.160
<v Speaker 9>So they're planning a lot of stuff to go hand

0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 9>in hand with that.

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 15>In addition to these AirPods with cameras, And just to

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:51.160
<v Speaker 15>give you some context, these are not for facial recognition.

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 15>These are not for taking pictures and video. These are

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.720
<v Speaker 15>for being able to see the world around you and

0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.960
<v Speaker 15>feed that information into Siri, so you can see things

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.119
<v Speaker 15>sort of like what can I make with the food

0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 15>on this table right?

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 9>What recipes? Can you can talk for me?

0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:08.439
<v Speaker 15>Tell me more information about that object or that plant

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 15>or what have you, or things for visual reminders or

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 15>more specific turn by turn directions. And in addition to that,

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:17.360
<v Speaker 15>you're going to see the second generation of the foldable

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 15>iPhone as well as the twentieth anniversary iPhone something I'm

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 15>calling the iPhone twenty or the iPhone twenty Pro coming.

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:25.879
<v Speaker 9>Out at the end of next year. So it's going

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.000
<v Speaker 9>to be pretty jam packed.

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 15>And if you look at the more near term, this

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:32.639
<v Speaker 15>year is going to be pretty extensive as well. You

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 15>have several new iPads, you have several new Macs, new

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 15>Apple Watches, and of course you have the first foldable

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:42.199
<v Speaker 15>iPhone as well as the iPhone eighteen Pro eighteen Promax

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 15>and if you recall, Apple made that big design change

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 15>with the seventeen Pro and Promax last year. Typically when

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.640
<v Speaker 15>Apple does a new design change, the first two years

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.639
<v Speaker 15>of that design are extremely successful in terms of upgraders.

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:57.399
<v Speaker 15>Some people don't do it in year one. They like

0:26:57.440 --> 0:26:59.199
<v Speaker 15>to wait for year two, and so I think the

0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:01.959
<v Speaker 15>eighteen pro prom are going to be pretty hot sellers

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:02.640
<v Speaker 15>this fall as well.

0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Another big story that played out in markets, it played

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 3>out on social media in a huge way in the

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 3>last twenty four hours is Snap and Snap specs augmented

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 3>reality glasses.

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 2>You know what the stock reaction was. You spoke to.

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:21.200
<v Speaker 3>The CEO yourself, summarize everything we need to know about this, please.

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.239
<v Speaker 15>I think the stock reaction is more in response to

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 15>how much we're spent on this product and investors in

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:30.400
<v Speaker 15>Wall Street knowing that this is not going to be

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:34.240
<v Speaker 15>a hit out the gate. This is a conceptual product

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:36.680
<v Speaker 15>right now. This is something like when the Vision pro

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 15>launched a couple of years ago. This is going to

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:42.280
<v Speaker 15>be for developers, for the biggest tech fans, for the

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 15>earliest of early adopters. This is not something that's going

0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 15>to like the world on fire from the get go.

0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:51.399
<v Speaker 15>But this is the future of computing, I believe as well,

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:53.640
<v Speaker 15>and this is what Evan Spiegel has been saying. These

0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:57.960
<v Speaker 15>are augmented reality glasses that allow you to overlay applications,

0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:02.679
<v Speaker 15>your work notifications on top of the real world. Eventually,

0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 15>this is a product category that is going to click,

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:07.199
<v Speaker 15>but it needs to get a little bit later, and

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 15>it needs to get a lot less expensive. These are

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:13.359
<v Speaker 15>about twenty two hundred dollars right now, certainly not the

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:16.120
<v Speaker 15>priciest device in the category. The vision pro obviously being

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:19.479
<v Speaker 15>over one thousand dollars more expensive than that, but there

0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 15>is some work to be done. But this is another

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 15>stepping stone towards that vision that Snap and several other

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.520
<v Speaker 15>companies have. So maybe I'm not optimistic about this first

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.119
<v Speaker 15>generation of the product from Snap, but in terms of

0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 15>the category, this is going to be the future, and

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 15>Snap clearly is placing a foothold there.

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 3>The most Mark German, who leads all of our coverage

0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 3>of consumer technology, thank you very much.

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Did you see this one?

0:28:42.720 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 3>All Birds is now smart Bird, completing its pivot from

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 3>footwear to AI infrastructure after selling off its shoe business

0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:55.719
<v Speaker 3>and the brand's assets. The company tapped former DCAIICEO Nadia

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Carlston to lead the next chapter.

0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Smart Bird also doubled its convertible.

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Financing facility to one hundred million dollars and says it's

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 3>ready already talking with potential customers as it builds out

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 3>its first AI computing clusters.

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Wow, okay, coming up, we're going to.

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Talk about the challenges facing space based data centers, including

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 3>satellite to satellite communication, the deep dive. Next, this is

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Bloomberg Tech. The US is the clear winner in the

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 3>AI race. That's according to ASML CEO Christophe Fouque. He

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 3>sat down with Bloomberg Tech Europe's Tom McKenzie earlier today

0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:45.920
<v Speaker 3>on the sidelines of the Viva Tech conference in Paris.

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Here's what he had to say about his thoughts on

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 3>the global AI race.

0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 16>If we compare all we do on the entire chrisystem

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:57.000
<v Speaker 16>versus the US and China, I think today the US

0:29:57.040 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 16>is a clear winners in DR looking at champion across

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 16>the entire AI so my ECO system. I think the

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:08.400
<v Speaker 16>one place they were missing a bit out was manufacturing,

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 16>and I think they have been extremely aggressive in bringing

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:14.560
<v Speaker 16>some key company to manufacturing in the US. They can

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 16>do that because they buy chips.

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:22.960
<v Speaker 3>ASMLCO Christophe Fouquet. Back to SpaceX. Despite today's decline, SpaceX

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:27.280
<v Speaker 3>has sowed since its IPO four days ago. A big

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 3>part of investor enthusiasm stems from Elon Musk goal to

0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 3>put data centers in space starting in twenty twenty eight.

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:39.040
<v Speaker 3>We've heard from those bullish on the prospect, including SpaceX

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 3>investor Sean Maguire, who said this about orbital compute.

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 6>Every individual component here is kind of fully fully proven

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 6>by SpaceX, except.

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 2>For the compute sign but that is not It's just

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 2>not that hart.

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 3>But space does present specific challenges for compute, including communication

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 3>between satellites and with the ground. That's an issue Den Rocker,

0:31:07.800 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 3>former head of software engineering at SpaceX, set out to

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 3>address when he co founded Observable Space, and Dan joins

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 3>us now and really grateful for you to come in

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 3>with your expertise. Right when you read the SpaceX prospectus,

0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 3>it's like, okay, the big picture, get it space data

0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 3>center in space as early as twenty twenty eight.

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 2>One of the things we.

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Focus on the show is the ability for communication RF

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 3>but also laser Try and summarize the challenge for us.

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, you know, like everyone's known for a long time

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 17>that laser communication is the next generation of communication for space.

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 17>You saw that really as Starlink was getting built with

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 17>the isl links between satellites that are in orbit.

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 9>It's you know, because it's in space.

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 17>There's no like atmosphere conditions or challenges really establishing optical links.

0:31:57.600 --> 0:31:59.440
<v Speaker 17>One of the big challenges you kind of have though

0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 17>going from space to ground and ground to space is

0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 17>obviously the atmosphere. But everyone kind of knows that solving

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:08.600
<v Speaker 17>those technical challenges or what's going to provide they're really

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.240
<v Speaker 17>like ten to one hundred times the bandwidth throughput that

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:13.560
<v Speaker 17>you're going to want and continue to like low latency

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 17>that we need for kind of expanding the space.

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:17.960
<v Speaker 9>That's what what are they doing here?

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Good, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry to interrupt you.

0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 3>I guess that the easy way to help themIn with

0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 3>tech audience on the side is like what are the

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 3>current limitations of existing generations of hardware and software in

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:30.840
<v Speaker 3>that environment in space?

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, so, you know, I think from being able to

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:39.280
<v Speaker 17>deploy these ground stations for laser communications at scale on

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 17>Earth to communicate is definitely one of the challenges. There's

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:46.080
<v Speaker 17>a lot of technical challenges as well around being more

0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 17>to correct like the kind of waveform and wayfront for

0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:53.720
<v Speaker 17>laser communication, and around like adaptive optics as you're basically

0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:56.280
<v Speaker 17>receiving the light on our ground stations. These are all

0:32:56.280 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 17>like very active challenges, but we've actually made as a

0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:04.720
<v Speaker 17>as a is an industry, a lot of like advancements

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.680
<v Speaker 17>to make this feasible at this point. The data centers

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 17>in space now is really going to require laser com

0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 17>to be the primary mechanism of communication moving forward.

0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 9>So the timing works out really well.

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:20.200
<v Speaker 17>They're still challenges ahead, but it is i'd say, like

0:33:20.680 --> 0:33:23.960
<v Speaker 17>commercially viable at this point, and so that's why we're

0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 17>really excited about being able to get these deployed at

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 17>scale over the next six to twelve months.

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Observable Space the world's largest vertically integrated hardware and software

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:39.160
<v Speaker 3>company for space observation. But you are working on the

0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:43.240
<v Speaker 3>laser component. That's why is laser the best technology.

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 17>There's a few different things that make it clearly the

0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 17>winner over RF. First, just pure speed, it's ten to

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:56.160
<v Speaker 17>one hundred times faster. The second is there's no spectrum management.

0:33:56.640 --> 0:33:58.520
<v Speaker 17>You know a lot of times with the RF bans

0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:00.520
<v Speaker 17>you have to work with different countries to be able

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 17>to manage who owns the spectrum and how that's kind

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 17>of being used and service from space. And then the

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:10.920
<v Speaker 17>other one that is really important, especially for kind of

0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 17>military defense purposes is the privacy of it. It's a

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 17>very point to point communication, so it's extremely hard to

0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 17>ease drop on and be able to collect that communication.

0:34:21.280 --> 0:34:24.399
<v Speaker 17>You have to be in a very specific area where

0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:26.840
<v Speaker 17>the ground station is located at in order to collect

0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:30.360
<v Speaker 17>any signals. So from a military perspective, this is like

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:34.200
<v Speaker 17>a clear winner, and most future constellations for defense purposes

0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:36.240
<v Speaker 17>are going to be optical first and to do forward.

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:40.480
<v Speaker 3>The basic idea of SpaceX going public is also that

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:43.360
<v Speaker 3>it will shine a light on commercial space. You know,

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:46.319
<v Speaker 3>SpaceX likes to do a lot of stuff itself, but

0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 3>do you see a kind of ripple effect or even

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:51.120
<v Speaker 3>an opportunity to work with SpaceX on those technologies.

0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:56.760
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, totally, Like you know SpaceX, like we're we love SpaceX.

0:34:57.520 --> 0:35:01.240
<v Speaker 17>It's really the company that's defining the future of space,

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:03.680
<v Speaker 17>so you know, partnerships with them, like we we work

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:06.040
<v Speaker 17>with them and we will continue to like would love

0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:09.279
<v Speaker 17>to expand our relationship with SpaceX moving forward. I do

0:35:09.360 --> 0:35:12.360
<v Speaker 17>think you're going to see over this next phase of

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:17.560
<v Speaker 17>space technology development. You know, people starting to unstack kind

0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:22.360
<v Speaker 17>of pull out the different stacks in the space technology spectrum.

0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 17>It's kind of similar to like how this happened in

0:35:24.560 --> 0:35:26.480
<v Speaker 17>the early days of the Internet, when if you were

0:35:26.520 --> 0:35:28.480
<v Speaker 17>going to be an Internet company, you had to do

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:30.440
<v Speaker 17>all the things. You know, you were a data center,

0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:32.880
<v Speaker 17>you were like a website, you were doing networking.

0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:33.440
<v Speaker 9>You know.

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:38.320
<v Speaker 17>As the space economy and kind of space technology matures,

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 17>you're going to see these different layers being pulled out.

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:45.600
<v Speaker 17>We're that communication optical communication infrastructure layer that is now

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:48.560
<v Speaker 17>pulled out and people can just buy our products off

0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:53.160
<v Speaker 17>the shelf, turn key solutions to establish optical cons from

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:54.239
<v Speaker 17>Earth to space and space.

0:35:54.320 --> 0:36:00.399
<v Speaker 3>Serve lasers in space no longer special see of space,

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much. Blue Origin is rebuilding the launch

0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:06.840
<v Speaker 3>site where it's New Glen rocket exploded last month, aiming

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 3>to fly again later this year. New Glen is a

0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:12.920
<v Speaker 3>key part of Blue Origin's plans for space exploration, but

0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:16.799
<v Speaker 3>also NASA's Artemis program, but it's years behind schedule, and

0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:20.080
<v Speaker 3>as Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos said earlier today, this

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:23.120
<v Speaker 3>is not a sector where it is easy to move fast.

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:29.640
<v Speaker 18>Traditional aerospace, I think often suffers from slow decision making speed,

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 18>and it's and I know how aerospace gets there, but

0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:35.520
<v Speaker 18>I mean, you know, you're building things that often have

0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:40.440
<v Speaker 18>you know, hazardous operations, life safety critical missions, and so

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 18>again not every decision is like that though, so you

0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:47.800
<v Speaker 18>end up making every decision as if it's life safety critical.

0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:52.280
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk more about the challenges space presents, the things

0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:54.960
<v Speaker 3>we send up into it. Mackenzie Listrop joins us a

0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 3>former director for the godd Space Flight Center, which is

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 3>NASA's primary hub for building up lating scientific satellites, now

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:07.000
<v Speaker 3>principal consultant Paradise Services and just an absolute expert in

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:11.799
<v Speaker 3>space systems. So there are different degrees of orbital compute, right,

0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 3>different variations of a space based data center. But at

0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:19.719
<v Speaker 3>the extreme SpaceX is presenting, it is at hyperscale. It

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:25.440
<v Speaker 3>is running massive AI workloads inference. Explain the distinction between

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:28.400
<v Speaker 3>those three grades of compute and why it's hard.

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely. So the first is really on orbit edge computing.

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:38.040
<v Speaker 11>So this is about taking you know, imagery data, radar, weather, maritime,

0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:41.759
<v Speaker 11>climate or defense data that's collected in space and then

0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:48.600
<v Speaker 11>using AI edge computing, some kind of inference, some kind

0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:52.440
<v Speaker 11>of processing in the space system itself before sending it

0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:55.360
<v Speaker 11>down to Earth. So this is real, this is near term.

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 11>So satellite sends raw data to an orbital compute node.

0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:02.680
<v Speaker 11>The node perform filtering or aiml inference and then only

0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:05.760
<v Speaker 11>the higher value or smaller data products get sent to Earth.

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:10.279
<v Speaker 11>So this is a process that the company Axiom, says

0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:12.960
<v Speaker 11>that it deployed as a prototype unit on the International

0:38:12.960 --> 0:38:18.040
<v Speaker 11>Space Station and has an orbital data center node as well. Now,

0:38:18.080 --> 0:38:21.880
<v Speaker 11>the second is really resilient or sovereign storage and computing,

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:28.279
<v Speaker 11>so infrastructure that is physically separated from terrestrial threats so disasters,

0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:31.640
<v Speaker 11>political borders, or ground based attacks. That also has some

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:35.440
<v Speaker 11>real defense, continuity of government, and critical infrastructure use cases,

0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:39.160
<v Speaker 11>but still not entirely explored. Now, the third is hyper

0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 11>scale AI work in orbit, and this is really the moonshot.

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:47.000
<v Speaker 11>It's potentially enormous, but it is not merely about the

0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:51.800
<v Speaker 11>launch cost or even the orbital downlink nodes. It really

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:56.720
<v Speaker 11>requires some challenges to be met in power in heat, rejection,

0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 11>in radiation, tolerant computing, high band with optical networking, orbital reliability,

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 11>and other issues. So it's a real challenge.

0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:09.359
<v Speaker 2>So let's zero in on some of the challenges. Right.

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Your job was to get systems ready to be in

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 3>the environment of space. The Sci Fi nerd in methinks

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:19.120
<v Speaker 3>about the vast coldness of space. But in thermal it's

0:39:19.120 --> 0:39:20.840
<v Speaker 3>a very different challenge, right.

0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:26.240
<v Speaker 11>It is, So you know, space is not cold sometimes

0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:28.640
<v Speaker 11>in the way that people think. And I would say

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:32.000
<v Speaker 11>that in orbit, a data center is a heat engine

0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:35.680
<v Speaker 11>first and foremost, and a compute platform second. So a

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:40.440
<v Speaker 11>terrestrial data center rejects heat through chillers, through air water

0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 11>or liquid cooling through evaporative systems as well. Now in

0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:48.960
<v Speaker 11>orbit there is no convective air heat sinc. So heat

0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:52.840
<v Speaker 11>has to be moved through the spacecraft and then radiated away.

0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:58.080
<v Speaker 11>So this means that radiator area, radiator emissivity, the attitude

0:39:58.080 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 11>control of the spacecraft, can tampa degradation. These are all

0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:05.920
<v Speaker 11>effects that have now become first order economic variables.

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:10.800
<v Speaker 3>And then there is the power challenge. There's the belief

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:14.359
<v Speaker 3>that the sun is always on infinite solar panel as

0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:17.480
<v Speaker 3>long as there's nothing blocking the path. But again it's

0:40:17.520 --> 0:40:19.759
<v Speaker 3>not as simple about that as that when it comes

0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:20.440
<v Speaker 3>to access to.

0:40:20.400 --> 0:40:22.200
<v Speaker 9>That power correct.

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:25.480
<v Speaker 11>So you know, the pitch for orbital data centers is

0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:28.239
<v Speaker 11>often that, hey, sunlight is stronger and more continuous in

0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 11>the right orbit. Google's Project Suncatcher argues that solar panels

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 11>in the right orbit can be up to eight times

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 11>more productive than on Earth. So that is true. But

0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:41.520
<v Speaker 11>just because you have space energy access doesn't mean that

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:45.279
<v Speaker 11>you have space energy infrastructure. So you're going to have

0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 11>to deal with some real constraints, and that means the

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:53.040
<v Speaker 11>close formation, orbital dynamics, the radiation effects, the thermal management,

0:40:53.160 --> 0:40:57.800
<v Speaker 11>the ground communications. All of this depends on a reliable

0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:04.279
<v Speaker 11>access to power in power generation, but also power storage distribution.

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:09.520
<v Speaker 11>Again that thermal issue of rejection and also redundancy. Now

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:12.680
<v Speaker 11>this has to be flight qualified. It also has to

0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 11>be able to be reliably operated in space and maintained,

0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:18.840
<v Speaker 11>and maintenance is one of these hidden costs.

0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:20.760
<v Speaker 9>Right now that we're not talking a lot.

0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:23.880
<v Speaker 3>About McKenzie, we have literally ten seconds. Do you think

0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 3>SpaceX can do it well.

0:41:26.280 --> 0:41:30.280
<v Speaker 11>They're a vertically integrated company that has demonstrated many technical

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:32.120
<v Speaker 11>challenges before, so I wouldn't count them out.

0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:33.759
