WEBVTT - Google to Release New AI Chips, Challenging Nvidia

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Bloomberg Tech is alive

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>from coast to coast with Caroline Hide in New York

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>and ever though in San Francisco.

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 2>This is Bloomberg Tech coming up. Google's thinking about the

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 2>next phase of its TPU program and that moves markets

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 2>will have the latest.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Plus ast space mobile shares plunge after the Blue Origin

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 3>space launch miss over the weekend. We also spoke the

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Blue Origin CEO.

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>And IPOs are so back, Sarah brass IPO is back

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 2>on the table months after we're drawing a previous attempt.

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 3>So first we check in on these markets, which are

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 3>dictated by geopolitics once more. And look on the day

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 3>we are down on the Nasdaq one hundred to the

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 3>tune of seven teens percent. We're actually heading session loans.

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Why the latest headlines coming from President Trump that the

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 3>ceasefire that currently is holding the truth that they had

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 3>put in place for two weeks is unlikely to not

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 3>be extended. It's unlikely to be pushed forward, even as

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 3>though we anticipate some talks to kick start once again

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 3>over in Pakistan on Wednesday. Now, there's also concerns really

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 3>about the Horll moves, the straight of horm moves likely

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 3>to remain blocked ed. What this means is that the

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 3>streak of tech stock wins is likely to be coming

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 3>to an end. We're up a eleven point six percent

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 3>of the thirteen days. If it had held for a

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 3>fourteenth day of gains, that would have been the longest

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 3>winning street since before you were born nineteen eighty five,

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 3>according to our own Dan Curtis, and that's the Nasdaq

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 3>and A's at one hundred. What looks like it's not

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.199
<v Speaker 3>going to be a fourteenth day.

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>En it would be before I was born. There's a

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>big focus right now on Google's TPU program. There's a

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>report from the Information that there are talks between Google

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>and Marvel about an inferenced specific TPU somewhere in the future.

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>By the way, that's a report and story that Google

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>is declining to common and full stop, but it's moving

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>markets in the sense that Marvell is getting a big

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>boost from it. Separate to that, Bloomberg's reporting that Google

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.079
<v Speaker 2>plans to announce its new generation of TPUs at an

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>event in Las Vegas this week. Let's get the details

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>on that with Bloomberg's AI Infrastructure reporter Dina Bass. So

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>much focus on the TPU program, right, Google's own use

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>of it and then the expansion of it to third

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 2>party customers andthropics. One that you and I have reported on, right,

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 2>What are they going to tell us in Las Vegas

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 2>this week? What is the future of the TPU program.

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 4>So what we're reporting is they're probably going to announce

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 4>an inference chip, you know, for running AI models after

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 4>they've been trained. Thus far, they've been doing training and

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 4>inference in one chip. You know, we are expecting and

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 4>reporting that they're probably going to announce something separate just

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 4>for inference. At Google chief scientist Jeff Dean told me

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 4>in an interview, Look, you know the way inference demand

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 4>is growing called it now becomes sensible to specialized chips,

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 4>more for training and more for inference workloads, and that

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 4>they're looking at a bunch of things. Their chip chief,

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 4>i mean VIDAT declined to tell me specifically whether they're

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 4>going to announce that this week, but you know said

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 4>we'd be hearing more soon. And this continues sort of

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 4>a trend. You know, in Nvidia announced a fast inference

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 4>chip from what they'd acquired from GROC you mentioned before

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 4>the Cerebrase IPO that's also at this point really a

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 4>lowly in seafast inference play.

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Meanwhile, the play has been extraordinary with TPUs and the

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 3>adoption by many would call even rivals Meta likely wanting

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 3>in on the Google made chips. So how are they

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 3>broadening and where do you think they're going to be

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 3>getting supply from? More broadly, there's a lot of reporting

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 3>in the market, for example, that maybe they turned to

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Marvel versus Broadcom.

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 5>I know you can't coment on that.

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Directly, but how are they thinking about their own supply chain?

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 4>Look, I think for them, supply, excuse me, supply is

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 4>a problem. I was talking to Google Deep my n CEO,

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 4>Demesis Savias.

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 6>He mentioned that as well.

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 4>Look, you have Meta, which signed they told us, a

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 4>multi billion, multi year deal to use TPUs. They're just

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 4>getting their first big tranche of them. They're trying to

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 4>figure out what they're going to do with them. Anthropic

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 4>has a huge deal, Citadel is going to talk about

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 4>how they're using TPUs at the Google Next conference this week.

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 4>And what Demis was telling me was that, uh, you know,

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 4>contrary to what Jensen Wank said last week on the

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.359
<v Speaker 4>Dark Hush Fatal podcast that you know, it's really just

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 4>anthropic that wants them. They actually you know, have a

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 4>lot of people that are interested. They don't have enough supply.

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Uh he was Demis was saying to me, Look, you know,

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 4>what they end up doing is prioritizing the you know,

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 4>top of the line frontier lab customers, because those are

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 4>the customers who are most capable of taking advantage of

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 4>what TPU has to offer.

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 7>You know.

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.240
<v Speaker 4>More broadly, I think the TPU play, and this is

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 4>why it appeals to these big frontier labs, is that

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 4>Google is the only, you know, maker of a large,

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 4>top of the line frontier model, one of the top

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 4>you know models that also makes uh you know, AI

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 4>accelerator chips in a large volume, has said they will

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 4>as well.

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that's why it's worth lingering for a minute

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>on why the TPU is useful. So you explained really

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 2>well that to this point, the TPU tensor processing unit

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>has basically been a general purpose accelerator training or inference.

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>But when you put it side by side, as many

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 2>people try to do against Nvidia's latest GPU or other

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 2>inference specific chips, you know what is it about Google

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 2>owning the architecture, about designing it for specifically the inference

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 2>use case that makes it better. Is it money, is

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 2>it power? What do we need to know?

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, Google's argument is that it is the fact that

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 4>they know what you need for training and running a

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 4>top of the line model. There are you know, two

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:45.799
<v Speaker 4>things in the last couple of months that have really

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 4>increased the interest in Google TPU. One is the Anthropic deal,

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 4>which was a validation of the technology. The other was

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 4>sort of the release of the latest version of Gemini,

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 4>which was trained and is running its inference on Google TPU,

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 4>and the you know, strong reviews that it's gotten. Google

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 4>uses data and requests and information from their own AI

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 4>model teams to figure out what they need to prioritize

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 4>and frankly, what they need to.

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 6>Fix in the chip business.

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 4>They you know, they work together to figure out that,

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 4>for example, Google TPU wasn't doing you know, utilization was

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 4>too low on those chips when you were using it

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 4>for reinforcement learning. Demis was telling me they're using it

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 4>to figure out, you know, how precise the chips have

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 4>to be as opposed to where they can save money.

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 4>And that's sort of a set of data that flows

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 4>into the Google TPU design team that other you know,

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.359
<v Speaker 4>other chip makers don't necessarily have. And Vidia does have

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 4>a very you know, solid model team. But you know,

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.919
<v Speaker 4>among the big three anthropic open AI, Google, you know,

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 4>for frontier models, Google is the only one making AI

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 4>accelerator chips at volume right now.

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.799
<v Speaker 5>Databas is a great story.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Can't wait to see what comes out at the Vegas event.

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 5>We appreciate you joining today. Now let's just dwell a

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 5>little bit more on tech stocks.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.919
<v Speaker 3>They are taking a pause like the rest of the

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 3>market today from their recent winning streak, and that's as

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 3>investors navigate concerns so peace talks between the US and Iran.

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 3>But let's discuss the tech outlook in particular with Anna Rathman,

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 3>CEO of Grenadilla Advisory, and once again geopolitics comes to

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 3>the forefront. But the fundamentals of tech are they vindicating

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 3>the valuations because boy, if we had a run up of.

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 7>Late yes, I mean, I think it's difficult to value

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 7>tech at this point, especially with AI, just because just

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 7>a few weeks ago, pre war, we were worried about

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 7>the six hundred and fifty billion dollar AI infrastructure spent

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 7>by the hyperscalers, and today we're not really talking about that.

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 7>In fact, we're wondering if we have enough capacity. And

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 7>you know, frankly, the previous reporting about Google's TPUs, I mean,

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 7>we can have all of these deals right looking forward

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 7>to twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty eight.

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 2>At the end of the.

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 7>Day, it really is about shortages, right, And this is

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 7>where the geopolitics really comes in as well well, as

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 7>you know, we're hearing it from the manufacturers and the

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 7>ism manufacturing in disease. So I think that the valuation

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 7>is really difficult for tech because computing computing needs are real,

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 7>but you need to you need real assets in order

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 7>to build real assets, which are the picks and shovels

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 7>of the AI story. So I mean, I think we're

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 7>kind of in a quandary here.

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 3>So does that mean on don't do anything s done

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 3>pat until we get clarity at least on the geopolitical

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 3>side of the equation, which in and of itself affects

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 3>the supply chain of chip manufacturing. For example, helium that

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 3>can't get through will mose right now.

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think AI is one of those stories when

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 7>it takes off. It takes off, and it's going to

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 7>be difficult to catch. So in terms of investing, I

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 7>think you stay invested. If you are invested in hyperscalers,

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 7>you're already exposed to a lot of data centers. Perhaps

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 7>think of some of the adjacent industries of manufacturing and industrials.

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 7>As far as the war is concerned, it's difficult to

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 7>price that in as well. I mean that the story

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 7>is very different today from last week, but I do

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 7>think that the markets have sort of priced in not

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 7>a binary outcome of will we have a deal versus

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 7>will we not have a deal. I think what the

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 7>market is pricing in is this very wobbly, very messy

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 7>ceasefire that might continue.

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 4>For a while.

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 2>So I find this really interesting. We've spent a lot

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 2>of time emphasizing that then as that one hundred had

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 2>this amazing thirteen days streak, and people seem to forget

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 2>that before that thirteen day period there was a big

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 2>sell off in technology shares, and if you look at

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 2>like some of the Goldman Prime brokerage data, you know,

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>hedge funds were dumping out of US tech stocks software

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 2>in particular. Why is it do you think that the

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 2>investors sort of then felt that the calm to start

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 2>buying almost immediately as the war was taking place.

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 7>Well, you know, I don't think the investors were waiting

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 7>for the calm. I think the investors were waiting for

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 7>some bottom where it felt cheap enough to come in,

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 7>because again, the AI story is a long term story.

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 6>Even software.

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 7>I think it was more of a sledgehammer tool that

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 7>we were using to knock out all of the software indiscriminately.

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 7>And now software is still going to be pressured in

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 7>my opinion because of AI AI native AI stories, but

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 7>I think at this point we may be applying more

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 7>of a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer.

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:30.439
<v Speaker 6>So from that.

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 7>Perspective, everything was oversald. So I think investors just look

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 7>for a cheaper point to enter the market.

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Technology earnings start big time in Earnest this week in

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 2>some sense. What do you think will happen? What do

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 2>you think what kind of bar do you think is

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 2>set for investors for this tech earning season.

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 7>Well, you know, if we look at some of the

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 7>international tech stocks that we've heard from, such as TSMC

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 7>and ASML, I mean that demanded story.

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 6>Is here and real, and you know in the future

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 6>as well.

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 7>So I do expect a demand story to continue. Whether

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 7>or not the companies are actually poised to capture that

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 7>is another story. That's a corporate story, that's a management story.

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.120
<v Speaker 7>So one in particular that I might be a little

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 7>bit nervous about would be Intel just because of the

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 7>recent history, just because of some of the issues with

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 7>the foundries. Other than that, I'm still pretty constructive on

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 7>Tech and we'll see what they actually report this week.

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Anna Rathbun and Grenadilla Advisory, thank you very much. Now

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 2>coming up, Blue Origins New Glens successfully reuses a booster

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.959
<v Speaker 2>for the first time, but the mission also delivers a

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 2>major setback for the payload that was on board. We're

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>going to hear from Blue Origin CEO Dave Limb Next,

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 2>this is Blueberg Tech.

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 4>It was a.

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Story of both success and failure for Blue Origin Space

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 2>launch over the weekend. For the first time, the Jeff

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Bezos company reused a booster for its New Glen rocket

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>and landed it successfully, but the satellite it was carrying

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 2>for ast Space Mobile wasn't placed in the correct orbit

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 2>and is quote too low to sustain operations, and.

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 3>It was painful if you own the shares of AST

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Space Mobile. Therefore, look rocketing back down to Earth down

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 3>nine percent for AST's Space Mobile.

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 5>At one point it.

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 3>Was off by fourteen percent. And this off nominal orbit

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 3>means a lot for a company that needs to get

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 3>about fourteen up in this year.

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you know he is a paying customer of Blue Origin.

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 2>And if you go on social media and you look

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 2>at Jeff Bezos or Dave Limp, the CEO, they were

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 2>celebrating the Blue Origin part that they landed the booster.

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 2>They reused the boosters only the third time New Glens flown.

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 2>But basically the satellite that they were sending into orbit

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>was in the wrong place and it doesn't have the

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 2>means in terms of frousters to move itself, so they

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>deorbit it and the insurance company actually comes in and

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 2>pays for it.

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 3>And that's what's word about AST Space Mobile sort of

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 3>being the one that bears the brunt here because they

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 3>get the money back from the insurance, but it needs

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 3>to get its satellites back up there to be able

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.679
<v Speaker 3>in a swift succession to allow you and I to

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 3>make the calls that we want to do. Look Scotiabank

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 3>analyst Dress Concelo was sort of saying, look, even though

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 3>the reusable Blustellan is successfully, the mission was a failure,

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.680
<v Speaker 3>and the Bluebirds seven failure highlights the need for well

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 3>more redundancy backup plans right for these failing units.

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 2>For it's a black eye for Blue Origin because they

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.319
<v Speaker 2>part of their business plan is to put satellites into

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 2>orbit for customers. But again, they really needed the rocket

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 2>itself to work, and it did. I spoke to Blue

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Origin CEO Dave Limb, but that was ahead of the launch.

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.559
<v Speaker 2>We talked big picture about the company's future, and this

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 2>is what he had to say about the new GM program.

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 8>I think it'd be a really good year if we

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 8>could do you know, eight to twelve flights this year,

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 8>up from two last year, that would be that, you know,

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 8>that'd be a good cadence for us. I can see

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 8>a path that we have plenty of hardware to do that.

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 8>It really is what we learn from the flights.

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 6>I would tell you that there's there's never been.

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 8>A time where launch is in such demand, and by

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 8>the way, I think the demand's going up with all

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 8>these directed device announcements Amazon made one obviously, other AST

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 8>is doing directed device and these mega constellations. We have

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 8>our own constellation. We announced with Taro Wave that laun

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 8>if I if I could fly a rocket every week

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 8>right now, I would be sold out for the indefinite future.

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 8>And so our job is to get out there, get

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 8>as fast a cadence as we can, as quickly as possible.

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 8>And the foundation of that, again is just to build

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 8>a world class manufacturing business. And you know, that's something

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 8>I've done for a long time, and the team's done

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 8>for a long time, and I think we're on the

0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 8>right path. We still have ways to go, but I'm

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 8>I'm excited about the progress.

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 2>The world became familiar with Blue Origin through New Shepherd,

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 2>the smaller form factor launch system, and the first focus

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 2>of that was kind of space tourism, you know, going

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 2>to a pretty low altitude relatively speaking, for a few

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 2>minutes of weightlessness. And you know, of course I was

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 2>in Van Horn, Texas when Jeff Bezos himself went up.

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:29.040
<v Speaker 2>But you took the decision to halt that program in

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:35.119
<v Speaker 2>large part to focus on Blues participation in getting America

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 2>back to the Moon. And so you know, in the

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>first instance, Dave, what has the result of that decision been.

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Have you been able to accelerate that other program, the

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 2>lunar program? How have you moved and reassigned resource and

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 2>people to fulfill that ambition?

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you know, we were able to fly ninety eight

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 8>people above the Carmen line. I've never seen so many

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 8>smiles on every astronaut we were able to do that

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 8>for And I think if you had to make the

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 8>decision to put New Shepherd on pause, we put on

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 8>pause for at least two years. With your heart, it

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 8>would have been a very hard decision because you see that,

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 8>you saw it when you saw Jeff fly. Every customer

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 8>is the happiest customer you've ever seen. But when you

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 8>make it, when you make that decision with your head,

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 8>it was probably one of the simpler business decisions that

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 8>I and Jeff have ever made, because you know, I

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 8>am so passionate about.

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 6>Getting the US back to the Moon, as is Jeff.

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 8>It's you know, I don't think the country wants another

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 8>spot Nik moment. We have been saying it blue for

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 8>twenty plus years that the Moon is this incredible gift

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 8>given to us. You know, it's three days away, It's

0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 8>got all the resources that we'll ever need right there

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 8>at least for the foreseeable millennium ahead of us, and.

0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 6>We know how to get there.

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Through Origin CEO Dave Lim there speaking with it over

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 3>the course of the weekend. And coming up we are

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 3>talking Apple's revab criy.

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 5>It may have been revealed more on that. Next there's

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 5>a broombag tech.

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 3>Time now for talking tech and first up, China's IG

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 3>says it expects AI to produce the bulk of its

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 3>film and TV content within five years. Now, the Netflix

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.359
<v Speaker 3>style streaming platform plans to transform its app and website

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 3>into a social media destination centered on AI generated programming. Now,

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.119
<v Speaker 3>as part of that shift, the company unveiled a new

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 3>AI talkit it says can handle nearly every stage of

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 3>the filmmaking process. US regulators across Asia are taking a

0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 3>closer look at cybersecurity risks in their financial systems as

0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 3>concerns grow over the spread of appropics mythos model. Now

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.879
<v Speaker 3>in Singapore, the financial regulator is urging banks to tighten

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 3>up vulnerabilities, while in South Korea, government agencies have been

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 3>meeting to plan their response, and Huawei has unveiled its

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 3>latest folded phone, the Pure xmax.

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 5>Now the device.

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 3>Unfolds horizontally to rough it the size of a small tablet.

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.959
<v Speaker 3>There's priced around oney six hundred and ten dollars now.

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 5>The launch comes as.

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Competition with Apple heats up, but Apple expected to roll

0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.600
<v Speaker 3>out it's own affordable later this year.

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 2>ED Let's stick with Apple, whose upcoming WWDC event is

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.439
<v Speaker 2>set to reveal the future of Siri. But ahead of

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 2>the forum, Apple's teaser may have revealed a glimpse of

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the revamped interface. Let's get to Bloomber's Mark German, who

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.639
<v Speaker 2>covers all things Apple and consumer tech, and this was

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the subject of this weekend's power On. I don't Mark,

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Every weekend I repower on. It's usually

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 2>based on who you're talking to, your reporting. This time,

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 2>you're getting your your your microscope out, you're looking at

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the imagery. What are you trying to learn here?

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 9>Well, you know, every time Apple announces an event toor

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:50.959
<v Speaker 9>they announce in your conference, they put out this teaser,

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.360
<v Speaker 9>graphic or invitation, and from time to time it gives

0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 9>you a pretty good indicator of what's to come. But

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 9>usually you only realize what that actually was in hindsight.

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 9>But now I can tell you, you know, several weeks

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.719
<v Speaker 9>ahead of the conference that this WWDC font, this logo,

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:13.120
<v Speaker 9>this glow, this design they have there actually is representative we're.

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 6>Looking at it now interface.

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.400
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's a representative of the new Siri interface. Basically,

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 9>they're moving Siri to a new design. If you're familiar

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 9>with the iPhone Dynamic Island, when you trigger Siri, it'll

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 9>peer up in that little camera area and then it

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 9>has that new font like you have a WWDC logo

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.680
<v Speaker 9>and it has a glowing cursor similar to the glow

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 9>you see around the twenty six and that logo you

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:35.200
<v Speaker 9>were showing.

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:41.160
<v Speaker 3>So fold that into what we experience, how that will

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.679
<v Speaker 3>seem what in fact Siri will seem like when we

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.520
<v Speaker 3>finally get it into our hands or our ears or

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 3>our voice, the way we're going to interact with it.

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 9>You know, Siri has looked cool for for for many years,

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.640
<v Speaker 9>but it hasn't worked so cool for for many years.

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:55.920
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 9>It's it's in many ways, it's just pushing people to

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 9>the design in order to distract from the functionality. That's

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 9>what we saw from Apple Intelligence. But this time around,

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 9>they think that they have nailed it. They think they're

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.439
<v Speaker 9>going to get Siri to work with the features they

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 9>previously announced, some of the new enhancements that are coming

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 9>that they haven't announced yet, or a Siri app so

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 9>a standalone app, a chat bot like interface for the

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:27.040
<v Speaker 9>first time to better compete with Gemini and CHACKGPT, and

0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 9>then a new feature that they call internally World's Knowledge Answers,

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 9>which is basically a perplexity competitor, so you can search

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.359
<v Speaker 9>the web and get summaries of information without it actually

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:41.160
<v Speaker 9>pointing you to Google. It'll happen within the Siri interface itself.

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.159
<v Speaker 9>So if this all works, I think they have a

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 9>pretty compelling story to tell for their voice assistant in AI.

0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Come jack Mark real quick. It's better to follow this

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 2>story and aggregate over a number of years, Like I

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 2>think back to two or three wwdc's ago and you

0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:58.119
<v Speaker 2>reporting like Siri and Apple Intelligence isn't going to be

0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 2>the focus, then looks like it will be the focus.

0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Now summarize where Apple was actually landed with Siri, that

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:07.679
<v Speaker 2>is AI improved.

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.399
<v Speaker 9>Now In terms of the underpinnings of Siri, they're using

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 9>technology from a Gemini model, merging it with their own

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 9>model technology in order to get it work more properly,

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 9>it'll be able to analyze data on your phone to

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 9>help you take action on it. But big picture, this

0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 9>year's conference is really all about Siri and AI. They

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 9>basically hit pause on all non AI or serre related features.

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 9>Lots of bug fixes and performance enhancements, but the focus

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 9>is on this voice assistant this year.

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.800
<v Speaker 5>Mark German is always giving us the hints. We so

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 5>appreciate it.

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.919
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about now humanoid robots for a minute, because

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.399
<v Speaker 3>one has just won a half marathon race for robots

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 3>in Beijing.

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 5>But get this, it ran faster than the human world record.

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 3>The race was held in Beijing over the weekend, showcasing

0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 3>China's really rapid advances in robotics and artificial and intelligen

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.480
<v Speaker 3>and the robots strode across the finish line in fifteen

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 3>minutes and twenty six seconds to the state run China Daily.

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:08.720
<v Speaker 3>That's according to them, and that beat the human world

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 3>record holder Jacob kip Plumo of Uganda, who finished the

0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 3>half month and in fifty seven minutes and twenty seconds

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:18.480
<v Speaker 3>last month in Lisbon. What a stunt, I mean Last

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 3>year it took more than two hours.

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 5>For the robots to win.

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 2>That's the video of robots running in a race. I

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 2>mean that can we let's just literally what is one

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.199
<v Speaker 2>hundred teams? Three hundred robots? The director won't show it,

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:33.560
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just grinning and laughing because that's a video

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 2>of robots running in a race.

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 5>Karen, what was important?

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:38.919
<v Speaker 3>Liquid cooling that's going to go on in that Maybe

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 3>that helps us in other parts of window.

0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:42.560
<v Speaker 2>So many DPUs on fire?

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, bloomg Or, welcome back to Bloomberg Tech.

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 5>We talk about geopolitics. Now.

0:22:56.800 --> 0:23:00.640
<v Speaker 3>President Trump says it's quote highly unlikely and a ceasefire

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 3>whether RON will be extended.

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 5>This is VPJD.

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Vans is set to head to Pakistan for deal discussions. Now,

0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:09.199
<v Speaker 3>Bloomberg's Jeff Mason has just spoken with the president. But

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.080
<v Speaker 3>a few moments ago, you join us now, Jeff, and

0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 3>this tone seems negative.

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 10>You know, I'm not going to say negative or positive.

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 10>Just what he said, which was a couple of different things.

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 10>He said that he thought talks could work out well

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:27.120
<v Speaker 10>for all parties. But he also said, as you rightly quoted,

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 10>that he was not intending or it was at least

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 10>highly unlikely that he would extend a ceasefire. He also

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.959
<v Speaker 10>said that the ceasefire ends on Wednesday, which is a

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:40.639
<v Speaker 10>little bit of news because the two week period that

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 10>most people were assuming goes through tomorrow Tuesday, so that

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 10>was interesting. The President also made a point in our

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:50.280
<v Speaker 10>phone conversation of saying that he was not in a

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.440
<v Speaker 10>rush to get a deal, and he talked about the

0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 10>length of the Iran War. The excuse me, he talked

0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 10>about the length of the Vietnam War, the Afghanistan War,

0:23:57.680 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 10>the Korean War. So he was watching this timeline or

0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 10>his own timeline, in the fact that many other wars

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 10>have gone for a long time, and he just said

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 10>he was not in a rush.

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm just going over the headlines that were generated from

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:14.640
<v Speaker 2>the interview, Jeff. There are several of them. I guess operationally,

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 2>what happens next? What did the president tell you about

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:20.679
<v Speaker 2>what he and his cabinet will do in the coming days.

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 2>We mentioned jd Vance, the Vice president, and what he

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 2>does now plan to do with regards to talks.

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 10>Well, he gave a little bit of detail about when

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.479
<v Speaker 10>the talks are expected to happen. He said that they

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 10>were likely to be on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning,

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 10>and he said that Jade Vance was expected to leave

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:42.119
<v Speaker 10>later on in the day today Monday, which contradicted what

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 10>he said to another reporter at another news outlet earlier,

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 10>where he suggested that the Vice president was already en route.

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:50.119
<v Speaker 6>So the next step are these talks.

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 10>I asked him when we spoke about the ceasefire if

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 10>he expected that fighting would resume right after the ceasefire

0:24:57.480 --> 0:24:59.560
<v Speaker 10>concluded if there wasn't a deal, and he said he

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:03.880
<v Speaker 10>expected so. So to your broad question, it's kind of a

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:07.679
<v Speaker 10>dual track here. He's expecting talks to take place, and

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 10>he showed some optimism about those talks, but he's also

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 10>clearly holding over the threat of additional attacks to start

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:18.280
<v Speaker 10>as soon as this week if a deal is not concluded.

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 6>And just for a reality check.

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 10>For our listeners and viewers, remember that the last time

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:27.200
<v Speaker 10>there was a major piece deal with Iran happened during

0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 10>the President Barack Obama's administration.

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 6>That deal took a year and a half to hammer out.

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:38.560
<v Speaker 10>So timing here is it would be unusual if they're

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 10>able to get a deal as fast as Wednesday evening,

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:44.960
<v Speaker 10>which is what the President said was the deadline for

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:46.640
<v Speaker 10>the end of the Seaspire.

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Bloomberg Jeff Mason, who's just off the phone with US

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:51.200
<v Speaker 2>President Donald Trump, Thank you very much. There's a lot

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 2>going on in markets, much of it relates to the

0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 2>headlines about the war in the rom but actually in

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 2>bitcoin's case, so we're around seventy five, six hundred US

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:03.119
<v Speaker 2>dollars partoken Carrot. I saw the headline that Strategy Michael

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Sailor et cetera brought two point five billion dollars in

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 2>bitcoin in the trailing seven days, and I think that

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 2>that's their biggest buy since the end of twenty twenty

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:14.480
<v Speaker 2>four something like that. Maybe that's a factor in the market.

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's just a risk asset behaving like everything else.

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Who knew that Michael Sailor actually still wants to continue

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 3>to buy bitcoin. I mean, many wouldn't not be surprised

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:24.960
<v Speaker 3>by that. It's interesting that in the defile space more broadly,

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 3>that's been that we can hack training what was three

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 3>hundred million.

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Dollars, which has helped those consequences. Right, It really.

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Does just negative sentiment around DeFi. But people can separate

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.520
<v Speaker 3>the two. Your bitcoin is not DeFi. DeFi is not Bitcoin.

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Really quick in the technology space on single names, Adobe

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 2>is higher by about one percent. It announced basically a

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:46.159
<v Speaker 2>broader agentic ecosystem with basically everyone in the world of

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 2>tech aws and thropic, Google Cloud, IBM, Microsoft and video

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and open Ai, and an earlier report on that had

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:53.919
<v Speaker 2>boosted shares. And then there's the kind of big thing

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 2>that's happening in aggregate. The Nasdaq one hundred is softer

0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:00.080
<v Speaker 2>and actually push to session lows after some of the

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.399
<v Speaker 2>headlines from the President. But the main thing is it

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 2>snapped a thirteen day winning streak, right, Karen, That is

0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:08.080
<v Speaker 2>what we've been talking about in that thirteen day period,

0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 2>sort of how tech is unstoppable in the face of

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>what is sort of a tense situation in the Gulf

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:15.879
<v Speaker 2>that speaks of Benberg equities for water Carmen Rhini Key,

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's kind of the story, right, Tech has

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:21.520
<v Speaker 2>cloud on irrespective of those geopolitical overhangs.

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.680
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, we've seen just an incredible rush back into risk

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:27.439
<v Speaker 11>assets from investors. I mean even today, you know, we

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.680
<v Speaker 11>had this really significant geopolitical news, at least at first

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 11>you said Drum wasn't quite as significant as I might

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:35.199
<v Speaker 11>have expected. And there are parts of tech that are

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:37.680
<v Speaker 11>actually still holding up today. So I was writing about

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:40.560
<v Speaker 11>the IGV the software ETF last week it had its

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 11>best week since two thousand and one, really significant gains there.

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 12>Today it's actually holding up a little bit. It's doing a.

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 11>Little bit better than the hardware sector than the socks.

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 11>At least last that I checked on my terminal, it

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 11>was up a little bit today. Hadn't completely erased doated

0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 11>games exactly exactly, and so we are seeing still some

0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 11>bright spots here. And I think the names that drove

0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:05.960
<v Speaker 11>the nasdaqs thirteen day streak are really interesting. So we

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 11>definitely had talked about Intel had such an incredible rally that.

0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:11.160
<v Speaker 12>Was the top of the charts there.

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:13.600
<v Speaker 11>It was the number one performer over those thirteen days,

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 11>and then the memory names were right after it. So Marvel,

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:18.959
<v Speaker 11>sand Disk, Western Digital.

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Can we go into Marvel a little bit more because

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:23.240
<v Speaker 3>the hardware story is basically.

0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 5>What's been unstoppable.

0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and Marvel that seems to be reporting out there

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:29.560
<v Speaker 3>that maybe they're going to be working alongside Google, Google

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.919
<v Speaker 3>broadening out from its TPU broadcom relationship to some of

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:33.400
<v Speaker 3>the players.

0:28:33.480 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:35.359
<v Speaker 11>Well, and this is one that actually the stock is

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 11>sort of bucking the trend today, at least in the

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 11>inter day, was on track to close at a record high.

0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 12>So another record high. Marvel's still looking really strong.

0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 11>And yes, so the news today is that there are

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:49.280
<v Speaker 11>reports that it's in discussions to develop two chips with Google.

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:52.200
<v Speaker 11>So one is immense memory processing chip and the other

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 11>is a TPU.

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 12>And those are both really significant.

0:28:54.920 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 11>It's also potentially intox aimed at designing semiconductors exclusively for Google.

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 11>So that's a huge deal for a company like Marvel.

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 11>And again, you know, it's had a really incredible rise.

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 11>So through Friday's close it was up more than sixty

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:12.360
<v Speaker 11>percent this year. It's just extending those days.

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 2>That game all calms down in the session as well. Right,

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:16.959
<v Speaker 2>you both got to point out it had an astonishing

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 2>start to April, like every other member of that basket.

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 2>So interesting move.

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:22.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we've got to keep an eye on the hardware

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 3>and we can dig in a little bit more.

0:29:23.840 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 5>But common Hinikey.

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Sets it up perfectly, always got her eye on the

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:29.360
<v Speaker 3>broader moves. Let's dig in a little bit more on

0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 3>this Marvel's story. But in my intelligence, senior analyst Con Savanni,

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:36.760
<v Speaker 3>who has been watching the stock positioning itself for maybe

0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 3>taking advantage of custom chip demand. And here we have it,

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 3>maybe some reporting showing that they can be really relied

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 3>upon by the likes of Alphabet's Google chip design. What

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 3>do you make of the reporting coming out of the

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:50.480
<v Speaker 3>information in this particular instance.

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, this reporting really validates what we have been talking

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:55.959
<v Speaker 13>about for the past two quarters that you know, the

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:59.120
<v Speaker 13>noise prior to six months in Marvel was all about

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 13>Amazon Tradium three. But we think they're really expanding beyond

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 13>just the number one, number two hyperscalers. And what's more

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:09.000
<v Speaker 13>importantly is here is that MPU which just falls in

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 13>the x few attached portfolio. This is the areas where

0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 13>sophisticated hyperscalers like Google, Amazon, Microsoft are now optimizing customs

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 13>chips beyond just the core powerful TPUs or accelerator. So

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:24.640
<v Speaker 13>this is where we think Marvel can gain significant shell

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 13>and this comes at higher growth margins.

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:29.480
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Yeah, in inference memory is more of

0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 2>a bottleneck, right, and so the MPU just moves data,

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's its purpose. I think the thing that

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.959
<v Speaker 2>we try and reiterate is that Google owns the design

0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 2>and architecture of TPU either way. So in that case,

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 2>what is it that broad Com to this point and

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:48.360
<v Speaker 2>potentially Marvel actually do conjem. What's the value add of

0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:49.720
<v Speaker 2>partnering with someone like that.

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 13>So when you think about beyond that core digital logic,

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 13>it's the IDP sets surrounding. How do you connect to

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 13>the memory, how do you do your packaging, how do

0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:01.280
<v Speaker 13>you have your intercorrect iOS. This is where these companies

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 13>come in with their own IP portfolio and add value.

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:07.080
<v Speaker 13>One more thing to add here is the influence hardware

0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:10.920
<v Speaker 13>streck is changing. It's not just one hardware stack fits

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 13>all sides, so we are going to see multiple players.

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 13>There's also talks about media tech also participating in one

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 13>of the Google's sort of keep you versions, So we

0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 13>are going to see this diversification when it comes to

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 13>ASIK now.

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, on the Marvel side of this,

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Google declines to comment to Bloomberg on any of the reporting.

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 2>But it's not Google, it's Broadcom or Marvel that phones

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 2>TSMC and gets those things. Fat Congensabannie from Bloomberg Intelligence

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 2>with the research. Really appreciate it. Now coming up the

0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:43.160
<v Speaker 2>conversation with Greg Martin of Rainmaker Securities, as Markets get

0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:48.760
<v Speaker 2>set for some mega IPOs. This is Blomberg Tech. AI

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 2>shipmaker Cerebra Systems is back in the IPO spotlight. The

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 2>company filed publicly for a US IPO on Friday, just

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 2>six months after pulling its previous attempt, so to say.

0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 2>The deal could raise around two billion dollars, testing investor

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:06.600
<v Speaker 2>appetite for large scale listings. The company's filing shows gross

0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:09.760
<v Speaker 2>margins slipped to thirty nine percent twenty twenty five from

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 2>forty two percent a year earlier, highlighting some of the pressures.

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Even high profile AI named a facing character at LISTA.

0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 5>It's not loss making this year for versus last year.

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:22.520
<v Speaker 5>Let's well, revenue certainly doubled.

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk a little bit more about the IPO landscape

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 3>and joined with Greg Martin, Managing Partner and Maker Securities,

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:31.400
<v Speaker 3>and Greg, what is the appetite likely to be?

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 5>Say we go into Cerebraus and.

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:36.880
<v Speaker 3>We think about how, yes, they've suddenly galvanized revenue growth,

0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:38.160
<v Speaker 3>but the margin has been hit.

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 5>As Ed articulates, are people just going to be.

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Betting still on this desire for AI? Compute the rampant

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 3>bottlenecks that we see in terms of just access for

0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 3>AI iterations and innovations.

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 14>Well, it's a great question, and clearly this is going

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 14>to lead off, you know, what could be a big

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 14>AI infrastructure year. There's already some public companies like core

0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:02.080
<v Speaker 14>Weave and Nebius who had nice run ups recently, so

0:33:02.080 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 14>there's clearly demand for AI infrastructure and Cerebrius numbers. They've

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 14>they've grown revenues. I think the biggest question mark with

0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 14>Cerebris was customer concentration. Now they've added open Ai, but

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:17.760
<v Speaker 14>they still have customer concentration, and so it's also a

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 14>very high valuation. The company did five hundred ten million

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:23.800
<v Speaker 14>of revenue last year. Their last round was at twenty

0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 14>three billion, which was just done in February, and so

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:32.040
<v Speaker 14>it's meantime, the secondary market for Cerebris is actually traded

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:35.000
<v Speaker 14>down to about ten billion recently, and so there's a

0:33:35.040 --> 0:33:38.400
<v Speaker 14>big question mark of whether they can hit a big

0:33:38.480 --> 0:33:41.040
<v Speaker 14>enough number in the IPO pricing such that their last

0:33:41.120 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 14>round investors won't have a down round. So I think

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:47.240
<v Speaker 14>the market we're watching Cerebris closely. It's not the marquee

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 14>name like SpaceX and propic or open Ai, but it'll

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:52.920
<v Speaker 14>be interesting to see if the market really is open

0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:56.960
<v Speaker 14>again for a company like Cerebris with such customer concentration.

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.160
<v Speaker 3>And this is why we go to greg because we

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 3>think about the quick that you can see, you can

0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 3>tell our audience about in the secondary market, just how

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 3>hot is it for the really exciting names like we

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:10.760
<v Speaker 3>were just reporting Edge and Team about how Anthropic basically

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:13.600
<v Speaker 3>is turning away more money in terms of a capital

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 3>raise that could drive its valuation up to eight hundred billion.

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:20.000
<v Speaker 14>Also, yeah, and Thropics one of the hottest companies we've

0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 14>ever seen. Unbelievable demand on our platform or Rainmaker. Obviously,

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 14>the company added ten billion of ARR in one month.

0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 14>They're now up to about thirty billion of arrs reported publicly.

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:36.719
<v Speaker 14>So it's just it's people are starting to value Anthropic

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:40.719
<v Speaker 14>as a share of the economy, not in sort of

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 14>traditional metrics that you might see. And of course their

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:46.399
<v Speaker 14>growth actually does start to rationalize the valuation that they

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 14>that they've had. We're starting to see them, you know,

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:51.799
<v Speaker 14>enter into just about every software category. So Anthropic is

0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:55.359
<v Speaker 14>about as hot as companies we've seen. They raise money

0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:58.160
<v Speaker 14>at three hundred and fifty billion just in February. We're

0:34:58.160 --> 0:35:02.360
<v Speaker 14>now seeing potential eight hundred and we're seeing unlimited demand

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:05.880
<v Speaker 14>on our on our platform. So clearly Anthropic is the

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:07.640
<v Speaker 14>hottest company we've seen in a long time.

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, with those names SpaceX, Open AI, Andthropic, people

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 2>always ask when we report something, you know, how do I,

0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:17.279
<v Speaker 2>as an everyday person invest into those companies? And the

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 2>first thing I say is, we don't do that. I

0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 2>don't do financial advice. Just read my reporting. But the

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 2>second thing is I say, oh, but we have reported

0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:28.040
<v Speaker 2>that SpaceX, Open AI, and Anthropic are all likely to

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:32.000
<v Speaker 2>go public in twenty twenty six. And with that flood

0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:35.839
<v Speaker 2>into the market of three names at that scale, how

0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:38.759
<v Speaker 2>does that translate to activity on the secondary market? Do

0:35:38.880 --> 0:35:43.160
<v Speaker 2>people try and position themselves in anticipation of a big

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:45.359
<v Speaker 2>listing or public debut moment like that?

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:46.319
<v Speaker 11>Yeah?

0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 14>Absolutely, you know, these three companies in particular, there's they're

0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:54.399
<v Speaker 14>obviously you know, enormous market caps eight hundred billion, two

0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:58.719
<v Speaker 14>trillion potentially for SpaceX. So we're seeing a ton of

0:35:58.800 --> 0:36:02.440
<v Speaker 14>demand pre IPO because people do think that there's going

0:36:02.480 --> 0:36:04.440
<v Speaker 14>to be a run up in the markets. All of

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 14>these companies are oversubscribed in the secondary markets, and as

0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 14>companies get closer to IPO, there's a feeling that hey,

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:13.719
<v Speaker 14>now I'm going to have liquidity, Now I'm going to

0:36:13.719 --> 0:36:16.440
<v Speaker 14>have access to more information. But we've seen in the

0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 14>past IPO allocations get cut back substantially, and so if

0:36:19.600 --> 0:36:22.000
<v Speaker 14>you want to get into these companies with any kind

0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:23.880
<v Speaker 14>of scale, you may have to come into the private

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:26.480
<v Speaker 14>markets and buy it via secondary or primary. So we're

0:36:26.520 --> 0:36:29.440
<v Speaker 14>seeing rabid demand for all three of these companies in

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:30.360
<v Speaker 14>the secondary market.

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Greg really quick. We had lots of little IPOs last week,

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.360
<v Speaker 2>many of them came on this show. What did that

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 2>signal to you?

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 14>Not a lot, you know, I'm much more focused on

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:44.840
<v Speaker 14>the bigger IPOs. There's clearly a massive backlog and so companies,

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:47.160
<v Speaker 14>there are companies that just need to go public. I

0:36:47.200 --> 0:36:49.280
<v Speaker 14>don't think there's a lot to be you know, learned

0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:52.279
<v Speaker 14>from what we saw last week. Listen, we have the

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 14>potential for one of the biggest IPO years in history.

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 14>The three companies you mentioned are going to potentially raise

0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 14>up up close to two hundred billion in between them,

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 14>which could suck the entire oxygen out of the market

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:07.360
<v Speaker 14>for a while. So I think what's really going to

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:10.720
<v Speaker 14>be interesting is how those three companies, SpaceX and profit

0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:13.840
<v Speaker 14>and open AI perform, And of course it's a function

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.440
<v Speaker 14>of whether the ip OF market's truly opened, because I

0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:18.880
<v Speaker 14>don't think the market's open until the streets and corms

0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:19.279
<v Speaker 14>are open.

0:37:20.320 --> 0:37:22.440
<v Speaker 2>God, if that's what you're banking and waiting on, we'll

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 2>be here a while. Greg Martin of Rainmaker Securities secondary

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:29.800
<v Speaker 2>market broker who sees what's happening in terms of liquidity

0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:33.680
<v Speaker 2>interests ahead of IPO now coming up. Nick Stronsky, co

0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:37.640
<v Speaker 2>founder and CEO of Revolute, discusses the digital banks future

0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:45.080
<v Speaker 2>plans on this week's David Rubinstein Show. Nick Ronsky built

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Revolute into one of the world's most valuable fintech companies,

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 2>now worth around seventy five billion dollars. The co founder

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:54.440
<v Speaker 2>and CEO speaks to David Rubinstein about the company's future.

0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 15>I think it's obviously much easier for us and giving

0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:02.160
<v Speaker 15>on your administration. Plus we have so many other Manking licenses.

0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:04.200
<v Speaker 15>Plus we have a Manky license you can now, So

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:06.919
<v Speaker 15>for us it became much easier compared to two years ago.

0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 16>So in the United States, what do you hope to

0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:12.279
<v Speaker 16>be able to do with your banking license if.

0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:12.600
<v Speaker 2>You get it?

0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:16.399
<v Speaker 16>What is the market gap that you think you can

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 16>feel that maybe others aren't doing.

0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 15>So basically I mentioned a radioh retail business. So it's

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:24.880
<v Speaker 15>one simple up where you can do everything what you

0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 15>need for your financial life. And then second direction, we'll

0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 15>also provide the regular business accounts for businesses. And again

0:38:30.960 --> 0:38:33.120
<v Speaker 15>it's end to end services that you need to run

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 15>your business. So payments, banking, credit will come as well,

0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:41.799
<v Speaker 15>wealth management or treasury we call it treasury, and then

0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:44.040
<v Speaker 15>acquiring as well. So for example, right now, if I'm

0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:47.960
<v Speaker 15>an American company, I'll need to stop say Strip for acquiring,

0:38:48.080 --> 0:38:52.080
<v Speaker 15>then Gip Morgan for my business banking. Then you know,

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:55.920
<v Speaker 15>something else for payouts, something else for payroll. So we

0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:58.400
<v Speaker 15>provide all these services in one product.

0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:01.040
<v Speaker 16>Well, if you conquer the US the way you've conquered

0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:04.960
<v Speaker 16>the UK and Europe, is China next, or you're not

0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:05.959
<v Speaker 16>going to focus on that.

0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:08.160
<v Speaker 15>Easy way that if you're focusing so spending a lot

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 15>of time or studying Asia and then as a search,

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:13.440
<v Speaker 15>so we apply it for multiple banking licenses in Asia

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:14.879
<v Speaker 15>as well, and then some of them but we got

0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:17.839
<v Speaker 15>already and then China is on the list as well.

0:39:17.880 --> 0:39:20.360
<v Speaker 15>You know, one day I hope we can set up

0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:21.000
<v Speaker 15>a business there.

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:25.959
<v Speaker 16>Now some people have written that your bank Revolute is

0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:29.000
<v Speaker 16>worth seventy five billion dollars. Have you ever thought of

0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:30.400
<v Speaker 16>taking your organization public?

0:39:30.560 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 15>But the way I think about it, will be ready

0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 15>to probably into year's time. But then again depends on

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:39.480
<v Speaker 15>how good the market is.

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.160
<v Speaker 16>Bench you don't have an IPO, how do people who

0:39:42.200 --> 0:39:45.040
<v Speaker 16>work for you make some money? You make a market

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:47.600
<v Speaker 16>for people to sell their shares internally.

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:50.240
<v Speaker 15>Yes, so we do secondaries every one in two years

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:54.400
<v Speaker 15>when people can sell certain portion of their stocks to

0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 15>accel investors.

0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:59.320
<v Speaker 16>So you've done secondary sales for your employees, so employees

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:02.560
<v Speaker 16>can then some liquidity. Do you expect before you go

0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:04.400
<v Speaker 16>public you'll do any more of those? Or you're just

0:40:04.440 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 16>going to wait till you go public before you liquify

0:40:06.640 --> 0:40:07.840
<v Speaker 16>any more our stock.

0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:09.960
<v Speaker 15>We all think, so we might do second risk as

0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:12.799
<v Speaker 15>well before we do ip your because we do it

0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:14.840
<v Speaker 15>every one or two years, so we might do a

0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:15.480
<v Speaker 15>second result.

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:18.000
<v Speaker 16>All right, Well, if anybody wants to sell their shares

0:40:18.000 --> 0:40:20.760
<v Speaker 16>to me, let me know. And have any investment bankers

0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:22.680
<v Speaker 16>told you why they're the best to do the IPO

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:23.200
<v Speaker 16>for you?

0:40:23.280 --> 0:40:24.959
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, obviously every single one is the best.

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 16>Everyone is the best. You're not in a rush to

0:40:27.000 --> 0:40:27.160
<v Speaker 16>do it.

0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:29.280
<v Speaker 2>You don't need the money, so we're bank.

0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:33.360
<v Speaker 15>And then for the bank, it's super important to have trust.

0:40:34.280 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 15>And then public companies are trusted and more compared to

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:37.520
<v Speaker 15>private companies.

0:40:38.000 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Go see the full interview with the Revolute co founder

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:43.319
<v Speaker 3>or CEO, Nick Sterronsky. Watch the David Rubinstein Show to

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:46.040
<v Speaker 3>peer Conversations on Wednesday, April twenty second at nine pm

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:48.440
<v Speaker 3>in New York and you O'm been about television Now

0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:52.040
<v Speaker 3>more on digital banking JP Morgan City Group. I've taken

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:55.399
<v Speaker 3>their rivalry onto the blockchain, competing to define the next

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:57.600
<v Speaker 3>roun tier of global payments. Just take a listen to

0:40:57.640 --> 0:40:59.400
<v Speaker 3>what they told us in a recent joint interview.

0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:02.840
<v Speaker 17>The real client problem that we were looking to solve

0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:06.719
<v Speaker 17>is the ability for large multinationals, big banks and broker

0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 17>dealers and FinTechs to be able to move their money

0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:12.040
<v Speaker 17>around make payments seamlessly around the world.

0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Twenty four cent.

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:15.160
<v Speaker 6>We want to keep building on the public chain stuff.

0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:18.760
<v Speaker 18>We have now tokenized money market funds with our asset

0:41:18.760 --> 0:41:22.120
<v Speaker 18>management business through Conneccess. We have tokenized deposit tokens, we

0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:25.440
<v Speaker 18>have a full tokenization engine we have core infrastructure, so

0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:28.400
<v Speaker 18>we basically want to want to battle hard net.

0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Rivals on screen, and the two banks of building competing

0:41:31.480 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 3>systems but takingly different paths. Blue Megs as wellly is

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:36.080
<v Speaker 3>here with one of the most red stories on the

0:41:36.160 --> 0:41:37.040
<v Speaker 3>terminal today as well.

0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:38.400
<v Speaker 5>How are they doing it differently?

0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:40.960
<v Speaker 3>One like stable coins, one doesn't so much exactly.

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:43.399
<v Speaker 19>So it's interesting to see Wall Street raised into this space,

0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:45.520
<v Speaker 19>and it's even more interesting to see their approach. So

0:41:45.600 --> 0:41:48.279
<v Speaker 19>for a city, they've signaled an openness to stable coins.

0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:51.280
<v Speaker 19>They've partnered with coinbase to really push into this digital

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:54.880
<v Speaker 19>asset space and they want tokenized securities. Around five hundred

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.360
<v Speaker 19>clients have been enabled in that platform and they process

0:41:57.440 --> 0:41:59.560
<v Speaker 19>around one billion dollars already.

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 5>The JP Morgan day, isn't it?

0:42:01.719 --> 0:42:02.000
<v Speaker 6>Yes?

0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:05.040
<v Speaker 19>JP Morgan has been a little bit more reticent when

0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:07.440
<v Speaker 19>it comes to stable coins because for them, the KYC

0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 19>is a little bit less. What they prefer is to

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:13.439
<v Speaker 19>build their in house infrastructure. Their in house blockchain called

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:17.040
<v Speaker 19>kinnexis and Cannexus is really already processing over three trillion

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:20.759
<v Speaker 19>dollars in volume, with each average daily block being five

0:42:20.800 --> 0:42:24.360
<v Speaker 19>billion dollars. So to be sure, this isn't really grand.

0:42:24.440 --> 0:42:27.040
<v Speaker 19>Yet in the larger scheme of things, they process trillions

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:30.640
<v Speaker 19>and trillions in their traditional payment system, but it's growing.

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 2>So they're preparing for a world in which everything is tokenized. Right,

0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:36.880
<v Speaker 2>So we're playing up the kind of frenemy I suppose,

0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 2>angle of it. But what they are doing is laying

0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:42.320
<v Speaker 2>groundwork for the state of the financial system that doesn't

0:42:42.400 --> 0:42:43.320
<v Speaker 2>quite exist yet.

0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:44.920
<v Speaker 5>That doesn't quite exist yet.

0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 19>We have the IMF, I think two weeks ago, warning

0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:49.360
<v Speaker 19>that if we build too much into this space, we

0:42:49.440 --> 0:42:52.680
<v Speaker 19>might see actually a great crash because in theory everything

0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:55.800
<v Speaker 19>works send a token from two AM and Maldives to

0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:58.400
<v Speaker 19>your friend in New York. But in practice it's still

0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:00.560
<v Speaker 19>a little tough, and especially if a lot of these

0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:02.480
<v Speaker 19>from the Nasdaq to the New York Stock Is Chain,

0:43:02.560 --> 0:43:05.480
<v Speaker 19>to JP Morgan to City build their own worlds, it's

0:43:05.520 --> 0:43:08.280
