Shares slipping 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: despite an upbeat view on the Blackwell lineup, has US 8 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 2: investors see a mixed outlook after two years of blowout results. 9 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: Plus investors unsure of Salesforce's new AI product if it 10 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: can spur faster sales growth or break down the company's earnings. 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 2: And we sit down with the CEO of Amazon after 12 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: the company unveiled the long awaited AI version of its 13 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: Elexor assistant and just announced its new quantum computing chip. 14 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: At first quick check on these markets, as we can currently, 15 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: we are under pressure once again. This is a macro 16 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: picture that weighs heavily on the market. Perhaps some inflatory 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 2: pressures worries about Taris and Nvidiant numbers did not do 18 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: enough to ease those concerns. Were down some three point 19 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: seven percent. Looks still a three trillion dollar company, But 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: here in lies the issue. Of whether or not Blackwell 21 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: is ramping as fast enough to offset some of the 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: concerns around China and tariffs and limitations on exports. Jonson 23 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: Wang does a lot to talk about the new cycle 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: of scaling laws that come, of course from reasoning models. 25 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: We move on to some other individual names that we're 26 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: going to be diving into across the board. Salesforce under 27 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: pressure off by two percent. Will discuss the earnings a 28 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: little bit later.

It's great to be here. 39 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: Back home where you grew up and you were unveiling 40 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: generative AI infused Alexa Plus. How is this going to 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: really well excite your customer base? What are you most 42 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: excited for it. 43 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 5: Well, you know, we've had Alex has been around for 44 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 5: ten years. We have six hundred million devices in customers' 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 5: homes and offices. And Alexa Plus is our next generation 46 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 5: Alexa Personal Assistant, and she's meaningfully smarter and more capable 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 5: and useful than her prior self. You can do all 48 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 5: the things that you used to do, but every single 49 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 5: one of those functions is better. 50 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 4: And I can give you just an example. There are 51 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 4: so many examples. 52 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 5: But you know, if you have smart home controls with 53 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 5: Alexa now, you can say, Alexa, I have guests coming 54 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 5: over at seven pm? 55 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 4: Could you raise the drapes, could you raise. 56 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 5: The temperature by five degrees, turn on the porch lights 57 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 5: and the driveway lights, and put on Melo dinner music in. 58 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: The dining room. 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: And music you're not a guy. May I choose shop. 60 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 5: Fighters, but most people will choose Melo dining music. But 61 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 5: you can do that all verbally and simply using conversational 62 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 5: language like that. 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 4: You don't need a nap. It just happens. 64 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 5: And so Alexi Plus, with what we've just announced and 65 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 5: what we're launching, it really is. There have been a 66 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 5: lot of chatbots around that are good at answering questions, 67 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 5: but they don't take actions. Alexi plus is really Alexa 68 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 5: is going to be the first one that not only 69 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 5: is highly intelligent to answer various questions, but she can 70 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 5: do so many things for you.

The 75 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 5: consumers are going to be able to see and use naturally. 76 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: I can see how you're going to obsess over it, 77 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: whether it's ordering the latest buffalo in New York and 78 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: seeing where the best space is to do that. But 79 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: how are your stakeholders of shareholder based going to obsess 80 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: about this about gender to AI in Alexa plus. How 81 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: is that adding value for them? 82 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: Well? 83 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 5: You know, I think if you think about what Alexa 84 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 5: allows customers to do, it makes shopping more easy because 85 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 5: it's so much more intuitive now to buy products.

And you've 118 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: actually just took to the stage yesterday to say, out 119 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: of all companies, you are spending the most on AI. 120 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: How much are you spending on AI? 121 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I think we don't disclose the exact amount, 122 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 5: but you know we you know, we're spending a pretty 123 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 5: significant amount of cappax, and the allion's share of it 124 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 5: is on generative AI. We've said in our AWS business, 125 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 5: even though general AI for US is a many billion 126 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 5: dollar a year business and growing triple digit percentages year 127 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 5: over year, that if we hadn't even more capacity, we 128 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 5: could use. 129 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 4: It to monetize it. 130 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 5: And we have this really interesting and very fortunate flywheel 131 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 5: and AI inside of Amazon, which is if your mission 132 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 5: is to make customers' lives easier and better every day, 133 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 5: which it is for. 134 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 4: Us, and if you believe that. 135 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 5: All the customer experiences we know of today are going 136 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 5: to be reinvented through generative AI, which we also believe 137 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 5: you believe those two things, you're going to be building 138 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 5: a lot of genera AVEAI apps. If you build a 139 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 5: lot of general of AI app By the way, other 140 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 5: companies are too on top of AWS, which is the 141 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 5: leading technology infrastructure platform. 142 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 4: So if there are a lot of AI apps being. 143 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 5: Built on top of you, you can't help but get 144 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 5: a lot of feedback from people on how they want 145 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 5: those building blocks that create gender AI to be better. 146 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 5: And if you're willing to invest in those building blocks, 147 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 5: which we are, as you know, with our own chips 148 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 5: with Trainium and with our own frontier. 149 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 4: Model with Amazon Nova and Model. 150 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 5: Building Services and Sage Maker AI and better Rock, if 151 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 5: you're willing to invest in those building blocks and you're 152 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 5: getting a lot of feedback, they get better much more quickly, 153 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 5: which can't help them make it easier and quicker for 154 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 5: people to build gender AI applications, which means you get 155 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 5: more running on the platform. So that flywheel is very 156 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 5: unique for Amazon. 157 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: The line share though you did say basically one hundred 158 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: billion dollar run rate for CAPEX expenditure, can you give 159 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: us even like a percentage ratedown of how much that 160 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: goes to distribution logistics and how much goes to AI? 161 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 5: Well, line shares, you know, you tell you boast of it, 162 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 5: you know most of it. You know the lions share 163 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 5: is more than fifty percent? 164 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: Yes, is it more than eighty percent? 165 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 4: We're playing the warmer and colder game. 166 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. I love a game. But taught us about 167 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: that capacity that you talked about. Yeah, AWS could grow 168 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: even faster if you had all the chips that you needed, 169 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 2: all the power you needed, the motherboards you needed. How 170 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: much faster could AWS go? 171 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 4: I could. 172 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 5: It's hard to put an exact percentage, but I do 173 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 5: think it could be growing faster. I'm confident could be 174 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 5: growing faster. And you know there is you know, for 175 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 5: a long time, there still aren't as many chips as 176 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 5: we all want. 177 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 4: We have. 178 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 5: We're fortunate in that we're very big partners with Nvideo, 179 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 5: But then we also have our own custom AI silicon 180 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 5: in Tradium. 181 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 4: Too, which we just released to Reinvent. 182 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 5: Which is thirty to forty percent more price performance than 183 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 5: the GPU powered instances, which is a big deal at 184 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 5: scale if you're doing gender of AI on the inference side. 185 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 5: So we have maybe more chips than some others might 186 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 5: have access to, but we still don't have enough, and 187 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 5: then there just is not enough power in the world 188 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 5: right now, and we're all working really hard on that. 189 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 5: I expect that to relieve some the second half of 190 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 5: this year, but right now, you know, the world can change, 191 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 5: but right now we have just insatiable demand. 192 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 2: We had amazing demand coming from Jensen Wong who had 193 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: his numbers out yesterday and Nvidio. Was there a limitation 194 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: on the in video chips in particular that pull back 195 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: capacity And at what point do you think can depend 196 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: even more on your own in house built chips offset 197 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 2: any of that. 198 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I would say, I mean there's a 199 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 5: lot of demand for gener Ai right now. 200 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: People are very excited about it. 201 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 5: I think that all the different providers of chips have 202 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 5: been constrained to some extent. 203 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 4: I think some of. 204 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 5: The some of the new generations maybe have gone through 205 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 5: different evolutions and when they're going to be released maybe 206 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 5: a little later than people thought. There are some components 207 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 5: like motherboards and things like that that we all use, 208 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 5: that particular ones that are in shorter supply than others. 209 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 5: So you know, I do think there's some there are 210 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 5: some supply chain issues which I expect to get better. 211 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 5: I do you know, people are very excited about training 212 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 5: them too. To your question and whether we could see 213 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 5: more demand there, and we have gone back at least 214 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 5: a couple occasions to make more trainium too than we'd 215 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 5: intended because we have so much demand. So I expect 216 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 5: the will of customers for as long as I can 217 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 5: foresee wanting to run compute on instances that have in 218 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 5: vidio chips. But I think a lot of the demand 219 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 5: will also be served by. 220 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 2: Training the customers that you couldn't serve because of the 221 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: limited capacity. Is it that you just had to put 222 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: it back from everyone a little bit more generally or 223 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: who lost out here? 224 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 4: Do you think it's it's always a combination. 225 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 5: I mean, there's for people that just have a very 226 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 5: small amount of accelerators that they need, they don't usually 227 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 5: have a problem. 228 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 4: We have something called capacity blocks with. 229 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 5: It's kind of like an on demand way to use 230 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 5: accelerators and and generate e chips, and that continues to go. 231 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 4: It's really the folks who. 232 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 5: Have built, you know, have an idea for a new application, 233 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 5: but they need a lot of of chips, where if 234 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 5: we don't have the capacity, we have to you know, 235 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 5: we have to give them what we can give them 236 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 5: and give it to them as fast as we can 237 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 5: and push our partners to get it in sooner. And 238 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 5: they can't get their initiatives done as quickly as they 239 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 5: want to if the capacity isn't there. 240 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 2: Anthropics had all the capacity it needs. You've got on 241 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: a close relationship. 242 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, we have a very close partnership with Anthropic. We 243 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 5: have this project called Project right near with them. They're 244 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 5: building their next model, their next version of their frontier 245 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 5: model on top of trainingum to and our custom AI silicon. 246 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 5: They're going to use over four hundred thousand trainum two 247 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 5: chips and so yes, they have capacity. They're they're ramping 248 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 5: up and we're excited about that partnership and what they're building. 249 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 2: You mentioned the power side. How much is that something 250 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 2: you're talking to the administration about? How much is the 251 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 2: administration supportive of the buildout that you need to do. 252 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 5: We have been talking to administration, you know, multiple administrations 253 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 5: in this country over the years, as well as in 254 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 5: other countries as well. And I think the power shore 255 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 5: is really knuck up on people, you know, really right 256 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 5: after the pandemic. And I would say that the current 257 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 5: administration is very receptive to it. They understand the constraints 258 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 5: it's having on the economy right now and are convicted 259 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 5: about solving it. 260 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: What about the restrictions around chips? And what's interesting is 261 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: Microsoft just called on the administration today to say, this 262 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 2: limitation on chip access for some of our close allies 263 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: around the world is going to limit our global business. 264 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: You are a global business. Is that something you're worried about? 265 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 4: Hey, we are? You know? 266 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 5: I think I think that you're really talking about that 267 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 5: AI Diffusion Act. I think, and I'm going to be 268 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 5: curious to see where that goes. I mean, it was 269 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 5: enacted pretty quickly at the very end of the last administration. 270 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 5: I don't know how this administration feels about it, but 271 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 5: I would say that we share the concern that it 272 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 5: has limitations on certain countries who are natural allies of 273 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 5: the US who just to be able to do their business, 274 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 5: and those companies to be able to get done what 275 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 5: they want to get done on top of these technology 276 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 5: infrastructure platforms like AWS, they're going to need more chips, 277 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 5: and so I think if we don't do it, we're 278 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 5: going to basically give up that business and those relationships. 279 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 5: To other countries who can provide those chips, and I 280 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 5: think we're better off being partners with them. 281 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: Is it a risk to AWS, It's not. 282 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 4: So much risk. 283 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 5: I mean, I mean it had it, you know, in 284 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 5: the scheme of things. It's not a big swinger. But 285 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 5: I also think that there are so many countries who 286 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 5: are in the early stages of their economic development who 287 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 5: both really need access to the most cutting edge sophisticated 288 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 5: technology to build the right customer experiences. And that could 289 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 5: be big geographic markets for companies like ours and lots 290 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 5: of other technology companies where I think it would be 291 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 5: a shame to limit them and to limit the companies. 292 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 2: Did the AI diffusion rules that was born in very 293 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 2: swiftly by the Biden administration. All of this is in 294 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 2: the context of US versus China and not wanting to 295 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: get the most sophisticated equipment and chip and technology into China. 296 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: What rate for us for a moment the administration and 297 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 2: whether it's been positive or negative for your business when 298 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: it comes to China Dominimus, for example, the fact that 299 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: Chinese competitors, if we call them nat Sheian and the like, 300 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: it can have to pay more to get goods into 301 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: the country. Does that help or hinder you? 302 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I would say, you know, on Deminimus specifically, 303 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 5: you know, we have a certain number of items that 304 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 5: are shipped in that way as well, for things like Hall, 305 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 5: which is our new low price offering. We maybe have 306 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 5: less of it than some other companies, like the ones 307 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 5: that you mentioned, but I think it's early in this administration. 308 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 5: But what I would say is that it is encouraging 309 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 5: to us that we have an administration that wants to 310 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 5: hear from business. I would say that, you know, we've 311 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 5: been a business through six administrations. Every single A lot 312 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 5: of them are primary for focuses to take care of customers. 313 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 5: But we try to build a productive relationship with the 314 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 5: administration because we want to help the country. And I 315 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 5: would say that some administrations are more receptive to it 316 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 5: than others. But this administration cares about what business thinks. 317 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 5: And I've always been surprised that it isn't obvious that 318 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 5: the best economic results for a country are going to 319 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 5: be when the public and the private sector collaborate. And 320 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 5: you know, I don't expect the government to kout out 321 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 5: to what companies want, but they should get their feedback 322 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 5: and their input because they're going to make policies better 323 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 5: together if they collaborate. And I'm encouraged early on that 324 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 5: this administration wants to talk to businesses. 325 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: Are you taking calls passingly? 326 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 5: You know, I take calls. We talked to you know, 327 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 5: the same thing with all the administrations. We talk to 328 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 5: people in the administration. We share what's working for us, 329 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 5: what's not working for us, concerns that we have. As 330 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 5: I said, some administrations care more about our feedback than. 331 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: Others about yours. 332 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 4: Have you spoken to I've spoken to the president. 333 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 5: Look, as I said, this administration has been pretty busy 334 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 5: the first month, and when I am encouraged that they 335 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 5: are having conversations with businesses and they do care about 336 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 5: our feedback. And we'll see what happens. But I you know, 337 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 5: it starts with a dialogue. You have to have a 338 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 5: dialogue to have any kind of relationship. 339 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 2: And they care about AI infrastructure. Just take stargate. Are 340 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: we going to hear more from you on how much 341 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: you're investing here in the United States on the AI 342 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: infrastructure build out as well? 343 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: Well? 344 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 5: You know, as we talked about earlier, we said it 345 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 5: was you know, directionally right in terms of the run 346 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 5: rate on our capex. But you know, we're spending a 347 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 5: lot on AI infrastructure, and the lion's share of it 348 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 5: is not just on AI, but also in this country 349 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 5: in the US. We spend elsewhere because we have a 350 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 5: global business. We have customers everywhere. We have customers and 351 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 5: you know, a couple hundred countries, but we have a 352 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 5: pretty substantial investment that I don't expect to to attenuate soon. 353 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 2: Only we could get a number. I'm interested in something 354 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: that perhaps is going to feel a more sensitive topic, 355 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 2: and it comes around perhaps some words that were missing 356 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: in your annual report this year, which were diversity and inclusion. 357 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 2: I put this in the context of the administration as 358 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: it stands, because I know that Amazon strives to be 359 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 2: the Earth's best employer, and I'm just wondering how your 360 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 2: employees react to perhaps the lack of certain words now involved, 361 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 2: and whether or not programs might be forced to change 362 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 2: or not. 363 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 364 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 5: Well, what I would tell you, just at a high level, 365 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 5: if you serve as many customers as we do, in 366 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 5: as many diverse groups as we do, and we intend 367 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 5: to moving forward, you have to have a diverse team 368 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 5: to be able to build products that work for everybody, 369 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 5: and that has always been our intention. 370 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 4: It continues to be our intention. 371 00:17:54,920 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 5: I think that you know, there were so many programs 372 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 5: that we launched and other companies launched in the pandemic, 373 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 5: and as you probably have seen over the last three years, 374 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 5: we've gone through very thoroughly every single one of our 375 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 5: business areas, and the programs that we had conviction about. 376 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 4: We doubled down on, and the programs that we don't have. 377 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 5: Conviction about, we streamline and we stopped doing. And so 378 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 5: we did the same thing and looking at all of 379 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 5: our programs on diversity, and you know, we have some 380 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 5: programs that we have doubled down on. A good example 381 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 5: is our Career Choice inside our Fulfillment Network our Fulfillment Center, 382 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 5: teammates are able to get an advanced education for free 383 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 5: on us to advance their career and their own development. 384 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 5: And that has been very, very successful and very meaningful, 385 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 5: and so we doubled down our program like that. 386 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 4: There are other programs. 387 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 5: That really just haven't been that successful and haven't moved 388 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 5: the needle much, and those we just moved away from. 389 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 5: But we have a diverse group we're trying to continue 390 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 5: to build out a diverse group and that won't change. 391 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 2: And you can't can still use that word ultimately not 392 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: having to reframe it. 393 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 4: That is. 394 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 5: I mean, look, you can call lots of people, call 395 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 5: lots of different things, but we have a giant customer 396 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 5: base of every imaginable group of people where we want 397 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 5: builders who can build for them. 398 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: Culture is key. Yeah, and you just talked about how 399 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: you're doing mores less. It's always a focus on frugality. 400 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 2: That's in your very principles. That's something you've been doing 401 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: at the employee base as well. You wrote out made 402 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 2: it very clear that they were going to be reducing layers. 403 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: How is that going? 404 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gone well. 405 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 5: You know, I look, if you have a company where 406 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 5: the culture is an important ingredient in your success, which 407 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 5: has absolutely been true for Amazon, it's not your birth 408 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 5: rate to keep having a strong culture, you know, especially 409 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 5: as you grow the number of people, the number of 410 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 5: businesses you're in, the geographies that you're in, and so 411 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 5: you have to work at it all the time. And 412 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 5: for us, you know, there were two areas when we 413 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 5: looked at it as a leadership team last year that 414 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 5: we wanted to strengthen. One was we have always fired 415 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 5: really strong owners, smart ambitious, strong owners who get to 416 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 5: own the allion's share of In this case, you know, 417 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 5: I would say, you know ninety plus percent of the decisions, 418 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 5: and they. 419 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: You know, as you add a. 420 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 5: Lot of people, you end up with a lot of 421 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 5: middle managers. And those middle managers, all well intended, want 422 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,719 Speaker 5: to put their fingerprint on everything, So you end up 423 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 5: with these people being in the pre meeting for the 424 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 5: pre meeting, for the pre meeting for the decision meeting, 425 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 5: and not always making recommendations and owning things. 426 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 4: The way we want that type of ownership. 427 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 5: So we took a goal collectively to increase the ratio 428 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 5: of individual contributors to managers by over fifteen percent as 429 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 5: a company by the end of this quarter. We've made 430 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 5: very good progress in that we've beat that already and 431 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 5: it's going to allow us for the people that are 432 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 5: doing the work, they're going to have more ownership and they're. 433 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 4: Going to be able to move more quickly. 434 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 5: And then I think the other thing we saw was 435 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 5: that if you're a culture that invents a lot and 436 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 5: collaborates a lot like we do, if you don't have 437 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 5: people in the office together doing that invention, it's just 438 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 5: meaningfully worse. And you know, you don't invent the same way, 439 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 5: you don't collaborate the same way, you don't connect with 440 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 5: each other the same way, you. 441 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 4: Don't learn the culture the same way. 442 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 5: And so having people back in the office together more frequently, 443 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 5: we felt very strong. 444 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 4: We bet it's going to be better for customers in 445 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 4: the business. 446 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 2: Let's talk about that invention and that collaboration. We've got 447 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 2: a new quantum chip us alot love the name. What 448 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 2: does that mean for you to have this more efficient 449 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: chip at this exact moment. Will we start seeing it 450 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: be practically useful soon? 451 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 5: Welltum quantum computing is very high potential. It has the 452 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,719 Speaker 5: chance to solve some very computationally intense problems, and I 453 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 5: still think it's realistically a few years away from having 454 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 5: a real shot at solving those problems. But you have 455 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 5: to solve a bunch of these challenges that relate to 456 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 5: quantum computing along the way, and one of them really 457 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 5: is around error correction on the cubits and that's what 458 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 5: Osilla does. It's a very unique inventive way to do 459 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 5: error correction with CUBIS that makes a meaningful difference, and 460 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 5: we're excited about that milestone. You can't get to something 461 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 5: that has real impact unless you get those milestones done 462 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 5: along the way, and you invent along the way. 463 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 4: And it's just another example of invention. 464 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: I feel the learning of how generative AI suddenly became 465 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: not just in the business parlay, but suddenly everyone was 466 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: discussing it. I think people are aware quantum could do 467 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: the same thing. So when you hear people debating between 468 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: two decades or five years, where do you sit on 469 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 2: the grounder scope of that? 470 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 4: Gosh, you know, I don't know for sure. 471 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 5: You know, I would say I'm hopeful that it's more 472 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 5: in the five ish year range than it is the 473 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 5: twenty year range. You know, all these things that are 474 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 5: successful are seven, ten, twenty year overnight successes. You know, 475 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 5: it wasn't like you know, if you look at gener 476 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 5: of AI, it's just kind of another evolution of AI. 477 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 5: But we've been working on AI for fifty some odd years. 478 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 5: I mean, like just boom, it happened, and it really 479 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 5: shocked us when it actually was more accessible and worked. 480 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 4: And I think the same thing. 481 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 5: Could happen with quantum computing, which is you know, takes 482 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 5: a long time, takes a long time, takes a long 483 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, it's functional and solves 484 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 5: problems that you couldn't solve easily or cost effectively before. 485 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 5: And it just feels like it happened overnight. But quantum 486 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 5: computing we've been working on now for ten post years. 487 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 2: And then the euphoria comes, and then people try to 488 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 2: make head or tail of how long that eu floria lasts. 489 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 2: Going back to the investment that you make, and particularly 490 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 2: in generous AI, do you think it's going to be 491 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: peak year for generative AI in terms of that investment 492 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 2: that Amazon makes, I don't know. 493 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 4: You know, it's funny. 494 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 5: I have this feeling that you're going to end up 495 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 5: with some people that feel disillusioned about gender AI because 496 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 5: the investment or. 497 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 4: You getting the commensurate return. It's still very early. 498 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 5: You have so many companies that are really doing pilots 499 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 5: right now their gender of AI applications, and you already. 500 00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 4: See a little bit of it. 501 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 5: But I think that the smart companies are going to 502 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 5: figure out which are the initiatives that can really change 503 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 5: their customer experience and their businesses and keep investing in 504 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 5: general AI and the slower companies are going to wait 505 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 5: to see if it's safe to go outside, and they'll 506 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 5: be behind by two or three years, maybe more because 507 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 5: the reality is even more soll than software development, general 508 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 5: of AI is very iterative. It's not on software development. 509 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 5: You can get on a whiteboard with a team of 510 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 5: architects and design something and maybe it doesn't work exactly 511 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 5: as you design it, but largely you know, whereas in 512 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 5: general of AI, the models they get better at kind 513 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 5: of disproportionate rates, sometimes scaling low. 514 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 2: Have We've got a new scaling law Stu. 515 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 5: I mean, I think that a lot of times when 516 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 5: you're building models and the model gets so much better 517 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 5: and you talk to the scientists and the team, they 518 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 5: just can't believe how much better it got because the 519 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 5: model is learning itself. And so I think that if 520 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 5: you actually aren't investing in general AI, you're going to 521 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 5: be behind by even the amount of time that you weighted, 522 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 5: because there are so many lessons you get from iterating 523 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 5: and building applications. 524 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: Today, and you want to be the supermarket of AI 525 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 2: feels like agnostic to the models, as it is with 526 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 2: Amazon alexiplus. 527 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 5: Well, you know, look, the truth is what we care 528 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 5: most about in all our businesses, but as it relates 529 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 5: to a WS and AI, we want our customers to 530 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 5: be able to change their customer experiences and improve their 531 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 5: businesses so they can last over a long period time successfully. 532 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 5: And if we do right by our customers and take 533 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 5: the long term approach we do. 534 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 4: And they're able to run their. 535 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 5: Applications successfully on top of our technology infrastructure services, then 536 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 5: they're successful and we ride along with them. And so 537 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 5: you know, we in all these areas, we have services 538 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 5: we build ourselves. In the models area, we have Amazon Nova, 539 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 5: which people are really excited about because it's got comparable 540 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 5: intelligence to the leading models in the world, but it's 541 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 5: meaningfully less expensive and lower latency. 542 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 4: But if customers prefer to run. 543 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 5: Other models, we have huge partnership with Anthropic and Lama 544 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 5: and Deep Mistraw Deep Seeg. I mean, we have the 545 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 5: largest collection of leading foundation models in the world and 546 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 5: if customers are having success with those, then we're happy. 547 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 5: And the truth is, if you build a lot of 548 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 5: general of AI applications, people don't realize this. You use 549 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 5: multiple model types often in the same application. Even Alexa Plus, 550 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 5: as we talked about using multiple foundation models, and so 551 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 5: we want people to use the right model for their applications, 552 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 5: and then we make it easy for them to switch 553 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 5: between them and run it easily and successfully in AWS. 554 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 2: Andy Jesse, perfect place to leave it. Start with alexaplus 555 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 2: and non Alexa plus and all the generation and generative 556 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 2: AI that comes with it. We thank you so much, 557 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: thanks for having me, Andy Jesse, President and CEO of Amazon. 558 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 2: We're going to be right back talking more around what's 559 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 2: happening with then. As that one hundred under pressure is 560 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 2: in video sells us post its numbers, what Solace did 561 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 2: in video give to its in besta base when it 562 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 2: comes to generative AI adoption. Welcome back to mine mag techn. 563 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 3: On a jam Cautline hid to New York and I'm 564 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 3: Jackie Devllas in San Francisco. 565 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 2: Let's get a check on the markets. 566 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 3: The Nasdaq one hundred is down on the day about 567 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 3: five tenths of one percent, reflecting this tepid sentiment coming 568 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 3: out of earnings, and that's after results in some cloud 569 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 3: and chip players are leaving more questions than answers about 570 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 3: the longevity of the AI rally. We're also looking at Microsoft, 571 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 3: also down on the day about four tenths of one percent. 572 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 3: The company today urged the Trump administration to rethink regulations 573 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 3: that would cap the export of AI chips to what 574 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 3: it believes are vital markets. Microsoft argued those chip curbs 575 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 3: could for countries to turn to China for advanced chips. Broadly, 576 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 3: Microsoft is following a similar change as other tech stocks 577 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 3: that are showing the nees about whether AIS boom is 578 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: actually losing steam. Perhaps the most important barometer of that 579 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: is in video. Shares are also down today, reflecting these 580 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 3: concerns about profit margins that eclipsed a sales beat and 581 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 3: upbeat revenue forecast. Bloomberg's Ian King joins US now to 582 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 3: break down some of these results. I really want to 583 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 3: home in on what was really going on that probably 584 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 3: left investors feeling weary. It's newer line of chips Blackwell, 585 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 3: they're rolling out, but at what cost? 586 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean this is a continuation of what we 587 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 6: saw three months ago, where they're saying, look, everybody wants 588 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 6: these chips. We want to get them out as fast 589 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 6: as you possibly can. Guess what, It's more complicated. The 590 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 6: computers that are based on are way more complicated. 591 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 4: It's going to cost us. 592 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 6: More, but don't worry about it. Once we get to 593 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 6: full production everything, we'll come back on our margins or 594 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 6: go back cope. But at the same time, the margins 595 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 6: are still above seventy percent. 596 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: I mean, people would weep to have more than seventy 597 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 2: percent margins. And then we hear, of course from trying 598 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: to signal that they'll get back to mid seventy percent 599 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 2: by the end of the year. But when we've got 600 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: the market still skating on thin ice here in was 601 00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 2: enough said about China? Was enough said about potential hits 602 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: to their future demand from competitors such as Amazon for example. 603 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the world as as you're indicating the words, 604 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 6: several areas of concern coming into this, and the company 605 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 6: had clearly done their homework. They pretty much answered everything 606 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 6: in order and went at it pretty hard with statistics 607 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 6: and assertions. But at the same I mean underlying this, though, 608 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 6: is that this is a company that investors have got 609 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 6: used to actually having every innings be a blowout, and 610 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 6: this wasn't a blowout. This was just regular common garden brilliant. Right. 611 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 2: You said almost growth in revenue, Yeah, I mean. 612 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 6: We you know, one hundred and twenty our billion dollar company. 613 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 6: Two years ago, we were in the twenties. 614 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 4: Right in terms of revenue. 615 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 6: Margins are up you know, ten fifteen basis points from 616 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 6: where they were a couple of years ago. 617 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 4: So we're not suffering here. 618 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 6: But but we're just not surprising people on the upside 619 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 6: in the way that. 620 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 4: We used to. 621 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 3: And let's talk about what took in videos wind out 622 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 3: of its sales earlier this month. Last month when Deep 623 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 3: secretly came onto the scene, sparked a lot of concerns 624 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 3: that we might not need as many chips as we 625 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 3: thought we might. 626 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: What did the company have to say about that? 627 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a. 628 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 6: Lot of what they had to say was clearly designed 629 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 6: to deal with that concern. And Jensen Wang, the CEO, 630 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 6: what he was saying is like, look, this is a 631 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 6: new way of doing things, but don't worry. Our chips 632 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 6: are really good at that as well. And guess what, 633 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 6: in the end, this is going to speed everything up. 634 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 6: Everybody's going to be flowing into this way of doing things. 635 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 6: This is good for everybody. And he gave a lot 636 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 6: of technical explanations that were obviously self serving but at 637 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 6: the same time logical and reason that that appeared to 638 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 6: sort of slay that dragon. But again, you know, the 639 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 6: numbers are what people really focus on. 640 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 2: What's so interesting is at this time we're wondering about 641 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 2: what the administration means for Nvideo, for its access to 642 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 2: selling chips to China but also to allies. And we've 643 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 2: got this push from Microsoft today Brad Smith calling on 644 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: the administration to basically avoid this focus on AI diffusion 645 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 2: rule as was in Poe. What do you think Jensen's 646 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 2: reaction would be to Microsoft letter. 647 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 6: I mean you could argue that, you know, in Video 648 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 6: kind of the precursor to this sentiment, and you got 649 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 6: a little bit of that from Aws as well. I mean, 650 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 6: the fundamental argument here is like if you hobble, if 651 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 6: your efforts to hobble China are totally successful, guess what 652 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 6: it might backfire. It might hobble us, it might hurt 653 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 6: our research and development budgets, it might hurt our end 654 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 6: market access, and eventually China is going to be so 655 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 6: motivated that they're going to get there themselves and we'll 656 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 6: have no play there and we'll have created a monster 657 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 6: that we can't control. That's the fundamental argument that's been 658 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 6: given in different ways and Invidia has been definitely one 659 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 6: of the ones that's been voicing that m Magsie and 660 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 6: King brilliant. 661 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 2: To wrap it up with you, thank you. Let's bring 662 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 2: in the invested tate now. Ioka, Yoshioka is with US 663 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 2: portfolio manager at Wealth Enhancement Group. Let's just go back 664 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 2: to the fundamentals of Nvidia's business right now. What did 665 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 2: you make of the numbers? Was they're not enough there 666 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: to excite you at this three trillion evaluation? 667 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 7: Hi, Caroline, you know, we think we thought the results 668 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 7: were actually pretty much in line with what we were 669 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 7: expecting and maybe slightly better. You know, it's just that 670 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 7: in this environment where there's so much uncertainty in the markets, 671 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 7: you know, people are just a little skittish about just 672 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 7: waiting and being a little bit more patient to see 673 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 7: some of these numbers come through. I mean, they did 674 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 7: talk about how margins will expand in the second half 675 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 7: once Blackwell becomes a greater portion of the mix, but 676 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 7: you know, people are a little bit impatient in this environment. 677 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 2: Ayaka, what do you make. 678 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 3: Of the company already starting to talk about its next 679 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 3: model of AI chips, the rubenschip. I mean, it just 680 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 3: seems like a lot of these newer models are just 681 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 3: coming out really fast. Do you think that's going to 682 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 3: be a longer term drag on margins or even risk 683 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 3: exhausting customers. 684 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 7: I think so, And I think we see this just 685 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 7: in the sort of end use case and how quickly 686 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,479 Speaker 7: we can adopt AI into all of our everyday lives. 687 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 7: I mean, Amazon's a perfect example of how they're trying 688 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 7: to incorporate more agentic AI into our lives through Alexa Plus. 689 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 7: But know, we have to see this in more areas, 690 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 7: and consumer behavior is really slow to change when it 691 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 7: comes to adopting new technology, and so we've got to 692 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 7: really see the pace of consumer demand and enterprise demand 693 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 7: really match the build out of AI. But the structure, 694 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 7: the underlying infrastructure of AI is going to take a 695 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 7: lot more compute power, as jensen As has mentioned, and 696 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 7: so that's going to continue, I think. In order to 697 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 7: just set the stage, what did you make of. 698 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 3: The company's comments around inferencing and its ability to really 699 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 3: take advantage of this next frontier where a lot of 700 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 3: these new reasoning models are going to depend on this 701 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 3: type of training. Are you confident that the company is 702 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 3: poised to really benefit from that, you. 703 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 7: Know, I think I won't doubt Jensen and you know, 704 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 7: the technological advances that he's been able to create at Nvidia, 705 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 7: and I do believe that just the overall you know, 706 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 7: inferencing market and just all the reasoning, just the amount 707 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 7: of compute that they talked about, you know, one hundred 708 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 7: times more compute power needed in order to do all 709 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 7: the reasoning behind the scenes. I do believe that that 710 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 7: is probably the right direction. I know there was a 711 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 7: lot of concern when deep seat came out, but you know, 712 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 7: I think this is just a new level and another 713 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 7: area that AI is going to continue to proliferate, you know, 714 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 7: in more use cases for AI. 715 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 2: There are these limitations though, I think and agreed Jensen 716 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 2: Wang did a lot to talk around these new scaling 717 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 2: laws that come with the latest and greatest models and reasoning. 718 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 2: He didn't really talk to those some of the geopolitical 719 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 2: limitations right now, and when you've got Microsoft coming out 720 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 2: brad with asking the government to basically do away with 721 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 2: Biden's AI diffusion rule to allow companies to sell globally 722 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 2: with ease, is that something that you're thinking about absolutely? 723 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 7: I think even you know, when you go back to 724 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 7: when deep seeks you know news came out and really 725 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 7: impacted the whole sector. It really goes to show the 726 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 7: arms race or the AI race that's in hand at 727 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 7: the moment. And you know, it is critical and really 728 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 7: important for the US to be you know, in that 729 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 7: pole position. And I think that's what's going on here, 730 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 7: and we'd like to get as many you know, friendly 731 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 7: faces on board with how we the United States and 732 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 7: Nvidia and other chip companies are deploying. 733 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 2: AI okay pole positions. Then which companies are in the 734 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 2: pole positions for you right now? Which ones do you 735 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 2: want to be adding to at this moment? 736 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 4: Sure? 737 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 7: So, I mean I think you know, from a tech standpoint, 738 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 7: you still want to have some of the big tech names. 739 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 7: You know, in Vidia, we're not selling any Nvidia at 740 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 7: the moment. We know it's been range bound for a while. 741 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 7: We do believe in the long term it will continue 742 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 7: to grow. Broad prom is another name in Microsoft as well. 743 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 7: I mean, Microsoft is you know, at the forefront here 744 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 7: pushing for you know, additional globalization of their technology and 745 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 7: allowing for their technology to be more ubiquitous so that 746 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 7: they can again you know, everybody wants to be in 747 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 7: that cole position, and I think we want to put 748 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 7: America first. 749 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 3: That's a Yako Yoshioka from the Wealth Enhancement Group things 750 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 3: for joining. 751 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 2: US shares a salesforce under pressure. The company telling investors 752 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 2: on its earning school yesterday that it expects its AI 753 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 2: product Agent Fools to give just a modest contribution to 754 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six revenue. That's unpacket all with Alex Okin 755 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 2: of Wolf Research, Alex, look, the full cost was what 756 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 2: red people here? Forty point five to forty point nine 757 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 2: billion dollars? Is Agent Force just not bring enough force 758 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 2: quickly enough? 759 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 8: Look, I think with new innovations like Agent Force, particularly 760 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 8: when you're dealing with very large, complicated customers, a lot 761 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,240 Speaker 8: of times in regulated industries, you want to be slow. 762 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 8: You want to be methodical, you want to really be 763 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 8: in there and delivering value, but you want to be conservative. 764 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 8: And I think that's that's a feature, that's not a bug. 765 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 8: And I think investors generally speaking, they've seen this movie 766 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 8: before with the Arrival of the Cloud, where it does 767 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 8: take time, and I think with Agent Force, we would 768 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 8: expect it to be less than a point of contribution. 769 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 8: A lot of times you're seeing companies start small, experiment 770 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 8: and then have the ability to get a lot bigger. 771 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 8: I think it's also important to remember there's a labor, 772 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 8: there's a there's a labor, not cost, but there's a 773 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 8: problem here where you want to be very careful and 774 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 8: nuanced in how you treat this innovation because it can 775 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 8: be disruptive to culture, and so you want to really 776 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 8: have a great sense of what's durable, what's reliable, and 777 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 8: then what's transferable. And I think Salesforce is kind of 778 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 8: in the mix and in the middle of really driving 779 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 8: that massive innovation for these customers. 780 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Salesforce's own labor quandary, because not only 781 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 2: they're having to get rid of some to put in 782 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 2: more AI talent, they're also having a real change of 783 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 2: ship in terms of the executive level. What do you 784 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 2: make of all the changes. 785 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 8: I think as companies get bigger and they evolve, it 786 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 8: creates the opportunity to attract new talent with different levels 787 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 8: of experience. I think Salesforce has done this probably better 788 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 8: than many other companies in the past. You've seen it 789 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 8: as they went through multiple very senior co CEOs like 790 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 8: Keith Block, like Brett Taylor injecting just the right amount 791 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 8: of stuff that the company needed at that time. I 792 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 8: think with the current change, I think Robin brings a 793 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 8: lot to the table. She really brings a lot of experience. 794 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 8: The new COFO as they call it, where she inhabits 795 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 8: both the COO and the CFO title. I think there's 796 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 8: a lot of opportunity with that change. I think it's 797 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 8: right for investors to understand that it's a little bit 798 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,439 Speaker 8: riskier from an execution perspective, but they've got the right 799 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 8: set of hands on the controls to I think, get 800 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 8: you smooth sailing. 801 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 3: Alex Salesforce has been an evangelist for agents, and you know, 802 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 3: this is seen widely as like the next big application 803 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 3: that will actually justify just how much investment has gone 804 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 3: into the space, because it seemed to be useful like 805 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 3: things in customer service, you know, will be able to 806 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 3: be taken over by agents in the future. Are you 807 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 3: worried that what Salesforce said about it's demand for agent 808 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 3: force pretends something deeper about adoption going forward. 809 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 8: It's a great question, and I think that Salesforce is 810 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 8: not the first company to create a moniker around generator. 811 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 8: The utilization in the enterprise. I would say that goes 812 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 8: to Microsoft with Copilot, and I think Salesforce has a 813 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 8: real opportunity and they want to be very careful. They 814 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 8: want to go slow, they want to really double down. 815 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 2: On the successes that they're seeing. 816 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 8: And they talked about some pretty marquee large customers Singapore Airlines, 817 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 8: They talked about accenture. There were even examples with Open 818 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 8: Table and Sharkeningja where those companies actually discussed agent Force 819 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 8: on their own earnings calls. So I would view the 820 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 8: demand is off the charts, the fact that they went 821 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 8: from three hundred deals to three thousand deals in one quarter. 822 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 8: But I think you have to look at this over 823 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,439 Speaker 8: a period of time where the amount of value that 824 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 8: these customers will be able to realize in their own 825 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 8: organizations and the amount that they will be willing to 826 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 8: pay to Salesforce versus the amount they currently pay, it 827 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 8: could be a meaningful multiple of that amount, but I 828 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 8: think it's going to take time. 829 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 3: Speaking of customers, Mark Benioff said that the Department of 830 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,399 Speaker 3: Government Efficiency DOGE has actually been using slack for some. 831 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 2: Of its work. What did you make of that? 832 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 8: Sounds like they have a really good collaboration platform that 833 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 8: they acquired, and I think it part of the vision 834 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 8: for Salesforce. Part of the vision for Agent Force is 835 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 8: to have an ubiquitous communication platform because it has a 836 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 8: lot of data that's very relevant in a lot of workflows, 837 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 8: and the data model that Salesforce can effectively enrich by 838 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 8: having those conversations available directly in the application is going 839 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,919 Speaker 8: to be important. So look, I look at this as 840 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 8: these people need to have relationships with everybody, and I 841 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 8: think that Mark talked a lot about how many administrations 842 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 8: he's worked with the company has worked with, so I 843 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 8: would view this as a positive for Salesforce. 844 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 3: Thanks Alex Zukan from Wolf Research. Appreciate you coming in 845 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 3: to unpack that for us. Turning to the entertainment sector, 846 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 3: Warner Brothers, Discovery and Paramount both at with their earnings. 847 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 3: Here to unpack them for us is Bloomberg's Hannah Miller. Hannah, 848 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 3: I think was a bright spot, which is something that 849 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 3: we haven't really heard that often when you look at 850 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 3: some of the streaming players out there in recent months. 851 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,760 Speaker 3: What was driving the demand here and profits as well. 852 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, So both Warner Brothers and Paramount focused on the 853 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 9: huge streaming gains that they had in the fourth quarter, 854 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 9: and they were kind of, you know, trying to draw 855 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,800 Speaker 9: attention away from the fact that they missed on revenue 856 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 9: estimates and you know, are still struggling with their take 857 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 9: cable TV businesses. If you're looking at Warner Brothers with subscribers, 858 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 9: they did a huge international push early in twenty twenty four, 859 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 9: especially in Europe and Latin America, so that helped drive 860 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 9: subscriber gains for them. 861 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 2: It really was an international focus and subscribe as coming 862 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 2: up to one hundred and seventy million with the advertising 863 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 2: revenue really big void what then a Paramount because the 864 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 2: Paramount plus ads were good and better than expected, but 865 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 2: elsewhere fell Shure. 866 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, Paramount really emphasized the fact that, you know, 867 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 9: their streaming business is growing, they are aiming to be 868 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,439 Speaker 9: profitable by the end of this year, and they really 869 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 9: leaned on the that they have this wide range of content, 870 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 9: especially shows created by Taylor Sheridan, who is of Yellowstone 871 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 9: fame and has that hit success. So that's what they 872 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 9: really tried to push forward in their earnings, you know, 873 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,879 Speaker 9: again drawing attention away from the fact that their TV 874 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 9: businesses are not doing as well as as they would hope. 875 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 3: And what did the company say about how it plans 876 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,879 Speaker 3: to sustain some of that content generation because it's really 877 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 3: expensive to invest in and it takes time as well. 878 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, Warner Brothers really emphasize this morning that 879 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 9: they have a diverse range of content. You know, they're 880 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 9: pulling from sports, They're doing scripted HBO shows. The White 881 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 9: Lotus came up. That's a big one. The Pit, a 882 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 9: new medical show, is also something that they're really pushing forward. 883 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 9: So they're really emphasizing the fact that they're willing to 884 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 9: invest in creative ideas and that this is how they're 885 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 9: gaining customers. 886 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,399 Speaker 2: Annamella reappreciate it, thank you. Talking of creatives YouTube style, 887 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 2: mister Beast is seeking to raise a couple of one 888 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars to expound his business in a funding 889 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 2: round that will value the company at about five billion dollars. 890 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 2: It's all according sources. Talk still in the early stages, 891 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 2: not yet clear who will invest. Coming up more on 892 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 2: Amazon's Alexa plus, It's Quantum computing chip announcement and more. 893 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 2: This is bluem Meg technology. So we kicked off this 894 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 2: show with Amazon CEO Andy Jasse joining on artificial intelligence. 895 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 2: And this is the company, of course, also just announced 896 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 2: its first quantum computing chip, will significant move, joining the 897 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 2: likes of Google and Microsoft, who also recently came out 898 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 2: with their own quantum hardware. Let's break it all down 899 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 2: on Bloomberg's mat day and first on the quantum chip. 900 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,880 Speaker 2: They really are going for like efficiency once again, it's 901 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 2: kind of Amazon zmmo. 902 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 10: Oh, it's totally their playbook. They were talking about how 903 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 10: much they could reduce the overhead of building a quantum chip. 904 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 10: They were reminding us, hey, listen, if you actually build 905 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 10: one of these things in practice, might cost you a 906 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 10: billion dollars. So very wus playbook to say, listen, we 907 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 10: think we can build a cheaper mouse trap that might 908 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 10: get more more update, Matt, how much of. 909 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 3: This is just companies trying to plant a flag to 910 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 3: show that they're in the to computing game. Are we 911 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 3: actually expecting to see anything come out of this in 912 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 3: the short term? 913 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 10: Short term? I'm not so sure, but I think it's 914 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 10: notable talking about a ws's announcement this week that they said, 915 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 10: you know, a decade is maybe pretty aggressive, right, which 916 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 10: is a lot more sober than you had Microsoft a 917 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 10: few weeks back, saying years not decades. So there's there's 918 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,239 Speaker 10: definitely a lot of positioning going on right now, but 919 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 10: you know, put abs down on more conservative sides, saying, listen, 920 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 10: there's still a whole lot of work to do. I 921 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 10: think the change that has happened is, you know, folks 922 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 10: are saying it's a win, not an if, and you're 923 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 10: hearing that really from around big tech. 924 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 2: They're not conservative when it comes to spending. And try 925 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 2: as I might, I tried to get Addie to spell 926 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,800 Speaker 2: out what Lion's share of one hundred billion dollar capex 927 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 2: is on AI. Just take a listen to what he said. 928 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 2: You did say, basically, one hundred billion dollar run rate 929 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 2: for CAPEX expenditure. Can you give us even like a 930 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 2: percentage ratedown of how much that goes to distribution logistics 931 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 2: and how much goes to AI my shares? 932 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 5: You know most so you've boast of it, you know 933 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 5: most of it. You know the Lion's share is more 934 00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 5: than fifty percent? 935 00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 4: Yes? 936 00:45:59,160 --> 00:45:59,879 Speaker 2: Is it more than eighty? 937 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 4: We're playing the warmer and colder. 938 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 2: Goo, yes, exactly. Do we need more specifics? 939 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,359 Speaker 4: I think we will, But he did make some news. 940 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 10: I think Amazon's been real careful about their general They franchise. 941 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,359 Speaker 10: They've had multiple billions of dollars in revenue. I think 942 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 10: Andy told you many billions. So we're parsing adjectives here, 943 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 10: but I think they're getting a little bit moreptific and 944 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 10: they're gonna have to as this business grows for them. 945 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 3: Matt, what do you make of some of the competition. 946 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,360 Speaker 3: Of course, you know you've been looking at quantum very closely. 947 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 3: Alexa is now really competing in that hardware space all 948 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,760 Speaker 3: over again. But kind of shifting back to the quantum 949 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 3: piece for a little bit, I kind of want you 950 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 3: to break down if there are any differences in what 951 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 3: Jase said about how they're approaching it versus what Microsoft 952 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 3: and some other players have said. 953 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 10: Not particularly everybody says, you know, quantum is a really 954 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 10: hard problem to solve. Everybody says there are so many 955 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 10: errors inherent in quantum computing. I think again, the AWUS 956 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 10: approach here seems to be sort of simplicity and trying 957 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 10: to take out as much of that cost as they can. Right, 958 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,279 Speaker 10: Microsoft's a little bit different boat technologically. You know, they're 959 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,479 Speaker 10: they're talking about limitting states of matter. That's those aren't 960 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 10: claims you're gonna hear from from Google or Amazon for sure. 961 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 2: Very briefly, it seems that they're still committed to stripping 962 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 2: out the layers within the company though, and that's going well. 963 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 10: You know, it's not a crisis right like we've heard, 964 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 10: you know, retention issues like a lot of folks. He 965 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 10: people a little upset about urto but you know, for now, 966 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 10: no big layoffs in twenty twenty five. 967 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 2: Wilson that day, it's been a joy having you here 968 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,800 Speaker 2: in New York as well. He's going to bid farewell 969 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 2: and jump on a plane to Seattle. But that does 970 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 2: it for this addition of Bloomberg Technology. Do not forget 971 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 2: to check out our podcasts.
