WEBVTT - Tech Left Behind in S&P 500’s Latest Rebound

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news. Bloomberg Tech is live

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>from coast to coast with Caroline Hide in New York

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and v Lovelow in San Francisco.

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>This is Bloomberg Tech coming up. Big Tech lags as

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 2>investors remain skittish about the AI trade. We dig into

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>anxieties and losses coming from the magnificent seven plus earnings

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 2>that still roll in. We speak with Octo CEO Todd

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 2>McKinnon after the software company boosted its full year profit

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Foradcast and TikTok. We'll invest more than thirty seven billion

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 2>dollars to build a data center in Brazil, this first

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 2>project in Latin America. But first we check in on

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>these markets that are volatile on this day. Look, we're

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 2>putting back on some of the gains made yesterday on

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 2>the Nastaq one hundred. We're off only by a tenth

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>of a percent in video flip flopping between gains and losses.

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>But all eyes on some of the key magnificent seven

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 2>names that like magnificent. On the day, Bitcoin so managing

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>to power up nine ten percent. We're at ninety two thousand,

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 2>so bit of dip bin and going on a sentiment

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>though still remains pretty sour on the asset class. Move

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.320
<v Speaker 2>on and have a little look at what's really under

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 2>fired today. Reports out there that Microsoft potentially having to

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.279
<v Speaker 2>tay you to its salespeople of co pilot of AI

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 2>productivity tools. Maybe you need to pull back on your

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 2>sales targets. There is counter reporting coming from the NBC

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 2>that this isn't currently true, but we're going to dig

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 2>into those details for you. Currently off by one point

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>eight percent. All of this speaks to the anxiety that

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 2>AI isn't going to give us the productivity gains many

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>and Hope Bailey Nipshew's sent piece to say is here

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 2>with us at the moment, really talking about more broadly

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 2>what we're seeing in this market at the moment. And Bailey,

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>are we seeing those sorts of anxieties.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, we are seeing some of the uncertainties that we're

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 3>seeing that play out in real time. The big debate

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 3>really around a lot of the CI trade, and we

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 3>saw this play out throughout November, is how much of.

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 4>This spend is going to be realized?

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Are the dollars going to make sense at the end

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 3>of the day, And if you're seeing companies dial back

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 3>there spending. What does that ultimately mean for the bottom

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 3>lines When you see a report like we've been seeing,

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 3>whether they're conflicting or not with Microsoft, it's a lot

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 3>for investors to chew on.

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>And what's been being chewed on is in people who

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 2>have diversified since the bottom in October, since we really

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 2>saw the perhaps end of the significant setting. Tech still

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 2>lagged and we've seen underperformed health, tach, care and other

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>key sectors.

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you look so last time, we had an

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>all time higher looking back to October twenty eighth best

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 3>performers healthcare, communications, energy. As you mentioned, worst performing group

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 3>is tech. One thing to keep in mind when you

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 3>look at that SMP five hundred info Tech.

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 4>The big names Nvidia, Apple.

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Microsoft are in there, missing Tesla, Alphabet and other names.

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 3>So a little bit of a grain of salt to

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 3>take it with that, But we are certainly seeing investors diversifying,

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 3>flocking to healthcare, Eli, Lilly, Cardinal Health, Biogen all out performing.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 3>When I talk to portfolio managers, part of the debate

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 3>is we've come so far, so fast in a.

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:54.519
<v Speaker 4>Lot of these names.

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and as much as we like to think that

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 3>things only go up eventually, the question is can you

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 3>performing is their alpha generation, and that's why we see some.

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:03.519
<v Speaker 4>Of that repositioning.

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Repositioning still significant gains on the year if you're thinking

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>of an Nvidia, but the momentum traits we've seen on

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the back of this, the fact that quantum stocks have

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 2>done so well, some of the crypto spheres, and they

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 2>still under a lot of pressure right now.

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 4>They're under pressure. There's just a lot of volatility.

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 3>You look at the moves that we saw, whether it

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 3>was a nuclear power or as you mentioned in quantum,

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 3>pretty much NonStop up into the right, whether that was retail,

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 3>whether that was momentum or just hedge funds trying to

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 3>juice their books. We've seen them pull back pretty markedly. Obviously,

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Bitcoin has been quite volatile trying to recoup some of

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 3>those losses. But if you're really kind of macro investor

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 3>or running a book broadly from the equity side, we're

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.119
<v Speaker 3>in December, if you're up quite a bit, maybe take

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 3>some gains off the table and maybe diversify into something

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 3>like a healthcare which could be positioned to benefit or

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 3>at least continue growing.

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.119
<v Speaker 4>If there are concerns around AI.

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>And concerns as a macrob of picture. We just saw

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the ADP figures today, I mean jobs market looking a

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 2>little bit weaker as well being lipstials. It's always a

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>joy to have him on talking to us through the markets.

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>We've got more market context for you now and more

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>broadly with Sylvia Deablonski Defiance ETF CEO CIO you've been

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 2>writing it's not all all over, but the pace of

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 2>spending is becoming more selective if upcoming macro data corporates,

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 2>we could be nearing a tradable bottom. As a longer

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.840
<v Speaker 2>term investor, I continue to see these pullbacks as opportunities.

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 2>She joins us. Now so cooperating here, is market sentiment

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 2>not or is market sentiment going to shift to the

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 2>positive again?

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 5>Good warning?

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, barring external factors, which we've seen a

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 6>lot of right throughout the last year, whether it's been

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 6>geo politics, whether it's been tariffs or for things like this,

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 6>you know, if we're on pace here for kind of

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.919
<v Speaker 6>the trend that we have here, and we do have

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 6>this growth of AI, you know, I know there's news

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 6>around spending being cut back and things like this, but

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 6>we're still in the infancy of AI and there has

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 6>already been so much spending that is now going to

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 6>kind of pile into the economy, pile into do these

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 6>different companies, different sectors and things like this. So I

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 6>think it plays out and benefits these these companies over time.

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.159
<v Speaker 6>So I think, you know that coupled with a FED

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.479
<v Speaker 6>that is likely to cut particularly if we have a

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 6>new FED chair in, you know, in with the president

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 6>and kind of you know, knowing where the predictions will

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 6>go on. That that's what the market's really looking for.

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 6>Right we have a little bit of a weaker labor number,

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 6>Consumer spending is holding up. You know, corporate earnings were

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 6>arguably great. You had over eighty percent of names beating

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 6>on the top and bottom line. You know, double digit

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 6>growth continues, positive GDP outlook. I think that we could

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 6>be in for a good market here, a.

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Good market led by the same names. It's interesting that

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Innvidia CEO Jensen Wang is in Capital Hill today. We

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 2>understand he's just been seen entering US House speak at

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Mike Johnson's office. How much will political tailwinds or headwinds

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>help will hindle some of these companies be worried about

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 2>access to China, well broadly, Cannon Vinie continue to lead

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>this market higher.

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 6>So I think in a way, and Video still has

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 6>the monopoly on AI and chips right, and so I

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 6>think that you know, a lot of the other semiconductor

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 6>companies are starting to do you know better and take

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 6>some of the business away, but for now, and Video

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 6>remains the clear leader. In terms of Washington and politics.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 6>Of course, all of these things impact these companies. You know,

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 6>they are the trillion dollar clubs. They lead the market

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 6>and policy effects them first. But the other side of

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 6>that argument is when the market falls back, you know

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 6>where do people invest. A lot of times they look

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 6>for defensive names, but you have these high again trillion

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 6>dollar companies, high quality, strong balance sheets that over time

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 6>tend to perform. Investors actually do look to those companies

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 6>for investments. And if you look at today, you know,

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 6>four hundred out of the five hundred names actually participated

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 6>in the bounce off of you know, the last pullback,

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 6>and so you see a little breath expansion there. I do, though,

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.480
<v Speaker 6>think that the AI tech is going to continue leading

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 6>markets for years to come.

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>You've actually got a lodge cap etf that is, excluding

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>magnificent seven, how is that performed of late and how

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 2>many people are wanting to put money into it?

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 6>So interestingly enough, we've actually seen an increase in flows

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 6>into that ETF. And you know, it may sound like

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 6>a contradiction what I just said, it absolutely isn't. I

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 6>think that the average investor has exposure to MAG seven everywhere, right,

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 6>whether it's in ETFs or they hold the single name stocks.

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 6>And so when you're when the market pulls back and

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 6>you're looking to diversify it and broaden your exposure, we

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 6>take out those names because we're saying, hey, you already

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 6>have them, hang on to them, but participate in the

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 6>in the in the breath and the broadening of the

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 6>rallies in the years to come. And so you know,

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 6>very much like an equal which strategy x MAC excludes

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 6>the max haven't. But but what's you know we think

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 6>very favorable about that is you're still letting the winners win, right,

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 6>so you still have market.

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Caps rallying in that fund.

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 6>And can you know do well over time.

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 2>You really have created a lot of ETFs that have

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>been galvanized by this whole broadening out of the Trade

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.559
<v Speaker 2>AI and Power Infrastructure ETF. For example, But I'm also

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 2>interested in the quantum side of things because there's an

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 2>interesting story. Key Nobel Laureate, winner of the Physics Prize,

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 2>has just been talking about how China looks like it's

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 2>really pulling ahead just a nanosecond behind the US in

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 2>terms of quantum compute scale and indeed innovation. How much

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 2>have people be wanting to get into the quantum side

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 2>of the equation?

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think, you know, what you just mentioned will

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 6>be a big reason, and we'll put a lot of

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 6>focus on the quantum names again for investors, because of

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 6>what happens when we think that, you know, other governments

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 6>are beating us in AI or technology or things like this.

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.319
<v Speaker 6>The US government tends to invest right, and American corporations

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 6>tend to invest and catch up and try to win

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 6>the race, right. So I think that just you know,

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 6>on a basic level, you've seen some good news around quantum,

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 6>whether it's been HSBC, the advanced bond pricing models that

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 6>have come out of it. You know, you've seen some

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 6>good results around and kneeling from d Wave. You know,

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 6>some of the top quantum companies have done quite well

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 6>for investors. But I think you know, as this continues

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 6>and it becomes more commercial, you will see flows coming

0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 6>into the space, and we think it's a longer term

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 6>hole for investors.

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>What hasn't been a longer term held just in recent

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 2>days has been micro strategy. You have a lot of

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 2>ETFs giving either you long exposure to micro micro strategy

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 2>now called strategy or indeed leverage positioning for it, but

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 2>also to go short as well. So you're kind of

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 2>offering both sides of the pile here. What do you

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 2>make of the fact that maybe Michael Sailor isn't a

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 2>complete hoddler for the longer term, that maybe at some

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 2>point they might have to sell bitcoin.

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean I think that that's you know, that's

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.839
<v Speaker 6>a business decision for their firm in terms of how

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 6>best to to you know, generate ROI and and be

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 6>profitable over time. But you know what you just mentioned,

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 6>it is true. We have long funds, we have short funds,

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.320
<v Speaker 6>and for us, we're just trying to democratize hedge fund

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 6>like products for investors that you know, are tactical and

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 6>knowledgeable about these markets and look for short term exposure opportunities.

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.559
<v Speaker 6>So those products are simply there. We don't necessarily have

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 6>an opinion on you know, their view of that. We

0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 6>want to give them the right tool to do that.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.319
<v Speaker 6>But I think you know, if Bitcoin rallies, you'll see

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 6>strategy do well. If it doesn't, you'll see it go

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 6>the other way, and perhaps the flows we'll also match

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 6>in terms of long and short leverage funds.

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Slovia jabonskiin talking about what has been quite the volatile

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>trade for certain retail of late Defiance ETF CEO CIO,

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>it's always great to catch up with you. Coming up,

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 2>we're going to hear from AWS CEO mcgarmond at his

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 2>take on the AI power demand, the race with Nvidia

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.559
<v Speaker 2>so much more of course trainium three. This will be

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:28.319
<v Speaker 2>a big tech.

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.439
<v Speaker 7>The desire and the hunger out there for more power

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 7>and more compute is almost insatiable. And so the more

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 7>we can take an existing power footprint, an existing set

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 7>of capabilities and bring more and more compute into that

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 7>for customers to build cool applications and cool environments and

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 7>to get value from that, that's we're focused on.

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:52.199
<v Speaker 8>Then.

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.320
<v Speaker 7>So we're going to be pushing that envelope as fast

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 7>as we as we possibly can to get those new

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 7>and new capabilities out to customers.

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 9>The pitch for Trainium in both the training and infants

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 9>use case is that it's a great deal, you know,

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 9>cost effective performance. At the same time, you went on

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 9>stage and said AWS is quote by far the best

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 9>place to run in video GPUs. How are both if possible?

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 7>Well, I mean that both both are possible because that

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 7>is a great environment to run accelerators and compute in.

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 7>And so we've been working for fifteen plus years with

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 7>the in Nvidia team and Jensen and team to deliver

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 7>outstanding capabilities for our customers. And for when you're running

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 7>a large cluster of Nvidia GPUs, people will tell you

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 7>AWS is the best place you get the best performance,

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.319
<v Speaker 7>the most stable cluster, the best capabilities out there and

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 7>broad scale. And so why folks like OPENINGI and others

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 7>are running in AWS and we have that choice. And

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 7>so for others that want to be able to take

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 7>advantage of Trainium. And there's some uses cases that are

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 7>best for TRAININGUM, there's other use cases where in video

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 7>GPUs are going to be your best option. We want

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 7>to have all of those available and so we think

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 7>that if we can continue to push the envelope on

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 7>what TRAINUM can deliver for customers and make sure that

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 7>we are supporting the latest and greatest from everything that

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.959
<v Speaker 7>the awesome team in Nvidia is delivering. That's going to

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 7>be the best outcome for our customers.

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 9>The plan for AWS is to basically double capacity by

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.319
<v Speaker 9>end of twenty twenty seven to round eight gigawatts, so

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 9>you have a sense of how you apportion that capacity

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.079
<v Speaker 9>in how Silicon and serve a design to Trainium versus

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 9>and video GP is.

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 7>We're just going to keep pushing as fast as we

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 7>can and we'll see where customer demands drives us as

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 7>we go. And as you said, we're massively adding capacity.

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 7>In the last year alone, we've added three point eight

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 7>gigawatts of capacity, and we'll continue to add more and

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 7>more as over the next couple of years, and we'll

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 7>let customer demands drive us a little bit on what

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 7>they're looking for and what they want, and that's what

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:50.920
<v Speaker 7>we always listen to and that's what we'll continue.

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 2>To listen to.

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 9>The focus with Trainium in the time i've been able

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 9>to interact with you and talk about again not just

0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.680
<v Speaker 9>the accelerator, but at the server design level, there's a

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.720
<v Speaker 9>lot of benefits the customer. When does that benefit start

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 9>accrueing to AWS in terms of profitability, Like, if it's

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 9>such a good financial proposition, you must be able soon

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 9>to say we're making a lot of money on this.

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 7>Well, you're already seeing some of the benefits of crew

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 7>You see things like bedrock growing really really rapidly, and

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 7>you see training empowering that under the covers. And we

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 7>announced today that more than half of all tokens and

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 7>inference done in bedrock are done on TRAININGUM two servers

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 7>under the covers, And so you're already seeing that benefit come.

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 7>You see the models that we're building and Nova and

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 7>Nova too start to get better and better over time

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 7>and be accelerated by Trainum. And so we really think

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 7>that there's a whole bunch of dimensions on which both

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 7>our customers, our partners, and our own products are going

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:44.679
<v Speaker 7>to get accelerated all from TRAINUM.

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 9>Every time you come onto the program, I always offer

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 9>the audience opportunity to pose a question to you. There's

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 9>a lot of interests in AWS, right, many of your

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 9>customers span global technology. Actually most of the questions were

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 9>about anthropic That wasn't much said on stage. I think

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 9>people are trying to understand what is the benefit and

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 9>advantage AWS office tanthropic while they are ramping trainum through

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 9>Project Raineer, but also ramping their TPU allocations as well.

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 7>Well, Look, our partners are an anthropic. Our partnership with

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.679
<v Speaker 7>them is incredibly strong and it's never been stronger, and

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 7>we do a ton of collaboration with them, and as

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 7>I mentioned through Project rain here, it's a huge collaboration

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 7>there to go build their current generation models and all

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 7>their models run today and launch on day one on

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 7>top of Trainium and on top of AWS.

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 2>AWS CEO Matt Garman along with their own ed Ludlow.

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's discuss this growing AI chip race and the big

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 2>tech names. Who's when, who's losing? Joan Feeney is the

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 2>perfect person to ask partner and portfolio manager over it

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:47.760
<v Speaker 2>advises capital management. So did Amazon manage to solidify its

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 2>prowess when it comes to vertical integration, cloud and ship.

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 10>Offering, Well, they seem to be doing a really excellent

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 10>job of that. And what's interesting about what Match has

0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 10>said is they're going to let customer demand drive you know,

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 10>how they build out these different capabilities for AI applications,

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 10>which tells us that they are going to be different

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 10>models purposed to different types of workloads. So everybody's thinking, oh,

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 10>and Vidia is the market dominant player right now. They

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 10>have massive market share, and they're treating it like it's

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 10>one sort of big thing that's homogeneous. And I think

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 10>what people are going to realize over time is that

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 10>they're going to be different types of models for different workloads,

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 10>and different chips will be useful for developing such different

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 10>models and for running those models, for doing the inference.

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 10>So I think there's a lot of room for different

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 10>chip players here, and we should expect more of the

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 10>in house chips like what Amazon does in collaboration with Marvel,

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 10>or what Google does in collaboration with Broadcom, to continue

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 10>to rise in prominence, as we've been seeing in the

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 10>recent news coverage.

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, let's talk about Marvel out with earnings

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 2>out with also a key purchase of Celestial AI. That's

0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 2>all about lasers, and we can talk in lasers a

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit more. But are we seeing a six really

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>starting to put a concern towards in video? Should they

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 2>be threatened by this custom built model?

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 10>Well, no company likes any kind of competition right, So

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 10>I'm sure in video would just be happier if they

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 10>didn't exist.

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 5>But clearly, look, ASEX are very powerful.

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 10>That stands for applications specific integrated circuit right, So these

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 10>I believe these kind of xbus er TPUs are going

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 10>to be designed and going to be put to use

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 10>for the type of applications in AI for which they're

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 10>best designed. So it's clearly the case that in Vidia

0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 10>is going to lose share over time in the big

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 10>world of AI compute. But nobody should be surprised by

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 10>set by that, and the pie is still growing so

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 10>massively they can't meet demand. They're not unlikely to be

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 10>able to meet demand for some years to come, and

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 10>so there's a lot of room for a sick approaches

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 10>to play roles in various types of models.

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 5>So we should expect that.

0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Before we talk more lasers, I want to go back

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 2>to where we sort of started, the fact that you're

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 2>getting specific chips for specific applications but also specific models.

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 2>And I think there's some threat in the market today

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 2>around Microsoft's are the part of the flywheel, because everyone

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.399
<v Speaker 2>thinks Microsoft got very strong cloud offering, and clearly we've

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 2>seen as you not be able to fill demand with

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 2>its supply. We're now we're just basically about the applications,

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 2>about companies being willing to pay more for these AI

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 2>agents and actually the use of AI. What are you

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.120
<v Speaker 2>hearing in the market. How much does that impact your

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:29.919
<v Speaker 2>sector of chips?

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:35.000
<v Speaker 10>There is a lot of sporadic i should say, information

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.399
<v Speaker 10>about how much AI agents and AI is being used

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 10>in different settings. So, right, there was a story today

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 10>about how Microsoft has reduced its sales targets for getting

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 10>AI agents you know, to be adopted by their customers,

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.120
<v Speaker 10>and so that as people concerned, you know, Salesforce similarly

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 10>is trying to roll out right their AI agent capabilities

0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 10>and some people are wondering whether that's going to happen.

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 10>But there are so many other applications in addition to

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 10>those kind of smart helper AI agents, and I think

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:09.400
<v Speaker 10>the earlier in the week announcement with Nvidia in synopsis

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 10>is a good example of that. Right, the industrial uses,

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 10>whether it's these digital twins basically being able to model

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 10>out a whole factory or a whole building, or you know,

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.920
<v Speaker 10>any other physical presence in simulation. You need this kind

0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.320
<v Speaker 10>of computational power. You need AI and so that kind

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.200
<v Speaker 10>of collaboration I think really points to lots of other

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.239
<v Speaker 10>applications for AI, and then you go to biotech and

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 10>pharma and.

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 5>Computation.

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 10>We've just been held back for so many years by

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 10>its limitations from the CPU side, and now that we

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 10>have these GPU based accelerators and innovations in fabric like

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 10>what Celestial is bringing to Marvel and what Broadcom already does,

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.159
<v Speaker 10>is speeding up all of these computations, making farmer applications

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 10>possible across all industries.

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 2>And some would say limitations have been in the fabrication

0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.360
<v Speaker 2>in the United States energy just making sure that we've

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 2>got more solid and trustworthy supply chains. I think about

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:06.879
<v Speaker 2>just the news also earlier this week one hundred and

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 2>fifty million dollar steak in a chip startup by Pat Gelsinger.

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Of course we all know him from Intel, but the

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 2>US is making that investment in x light a startup. Johanne,

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 2>you have some real insight as to how this technology

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 2>is being put forward. It's all about lithography taking on ASML.

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:27.680
<v Speaker 10>So x light is developing a new laser technology and

0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 10>that is a fundamental ingredient to doing lithography right. ASML

0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.920
<v Speaker 10>being the leader in extreme ultravilethography, which depends on these

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 10>very high end lasers. So x Light's taking a different

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 10>approach to laser development. And what's interesting is and also

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 10>reminds me of my past, is that this one hundred

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.479
<v Speaker 10>and fifty million dollar investment by the federal government by

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.960
<v Speaker 10>the Chips and Science Act, the work is going to

0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 10>be done at a place called Albing Nanotech, which is

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 10>where I got my start in the semiconductor industry, you know,

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:58.640
<v Speaker 10>twenty plus years ago. And it's a location for collaborative

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:03.120
<v Speaker 10>R and D for development of new manufacturing techniques, development

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 10>of new materials, development of new recipes for designing and

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.000
<v Speaker 10>building chips. And it's all the major players in the

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 10>industry are there, and it's pre competitive, and so for

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 10>x Light and Pat Gelsinger to be doing it there

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.439
<v Speaker 10>with the support of the federal government sort of enhances

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 10>this model of get some public support for a technology

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 10>that can be spread and help the industry broadly speaking,

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.760
<v Speaker 10>and does go towards this effort to enable more chip

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 10>equipment design and manufacturing to eventually occur.

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 5>In the United States. It's going to take a long time.

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 10>These programs, as I was involved with back in the

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:44.199
<v Speaker 10>early two thousands. They take many years, but it's a

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 10>great way for the US to subsidize a general technology

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:52.640
<v Speaker 10>which could ultimately help US position and equipment manufacturing and.

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 2>The state of New York. I'm sure music to its

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:58.159
<v Speaker 2>is to Joanne Feeni of Advices Capital Management. Thanks so

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:04.679
<v Speaker 2>much time now for talking tech. First up, Uber launching

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:08.200
<v Speaker 2>autonomous trips with ad Ride in Dallas, marking the latest

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 2>US city where the right hailing giant is offering such

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 2>a service. Uber's global head of Autonomous and Mobility and

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Delivery sat down with our colleagues at Wall Street Week.

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 11>It's an exciting time to be in the autonomous space

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 11>because we're really graduating from a technical problem that first

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.359
<v Speaker 11>started as a science project to something that now is

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 11>increasingly being solved and can be commercialized and be offered

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.200
<v Speaker 11>to more and more people who are using Uber.

0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:32.800
<v Speaker 6>All around the world.

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 2>And Dell CEO Michael Dell says he sees the AI

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 2>build out as not stopping anytime soon, with more demand

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>than supply at the moment. He weighed in after, of course,

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:43.399
<v Speaker 2>announcing that six week two five billion dollar gift to

0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:47.400
<v Speaker 2>fund accounts for twenty five million American children ten an under.

0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 5>Long term, we think.

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 12>Investing these accounts in the s and.

0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 4>P five hundred is a very.

0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 12>Good way to compound over time for these children. When

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 12>I look at what's going on today in the ignormous

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:12.000
<v Speaker 12>buildout in AI, what I see is a lot more demand.

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 2>We'llcome back to bo BEG tech. Let's check in on

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 2>these markets because there's a volatile training date. We're on

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.480
<v Speaker 2>a macro data to digest services look stronger, But BOYD

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:28.399
<v Speaker 2>does that private payrolls and I'm from ADB look pretty

0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 2>woeful worse Since the beginning of twenty twenty three, we're

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 2>off by tenth of a percent. The idea of FED

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 2>cuts not managing to outweigh some of the anxiety around

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:38.879
<v Speaker 2>the AI trade today. Key names in the red like

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Microsoft as we worry about productivity gains and some of

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:43.560
<v Speaker 2>its provisions. But move on to some of the earnings

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.639
<v Speaker 2>that we've got. CrowdStrike just about six tenths of percent.

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 2>They actually raise fiscal twenty twenty six guidance. They're citing

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 2>resiliency and demand for their AI enabled cybersecurity products. But

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 2>this is a stop that's up about fifty percent this year,

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:58.760
<v Speaker 2>maybe the expectations to run ahead of it and we

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 2>just take a little bit of money off the table.

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Marvel up more than four percent, even as it's splashing

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:06.159
<v Speaker 2>the cash on a new acquisition that we're going to

0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 2>dive into in the world of lasers. But I'm talking

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.320
<v Speaker 2>about also marvel earnings did beat expectations, and we're more

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 2>broadly seeing the adoption of its technology and a custom

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 2>chips being built across the AI infrastructure sphere. Let's get

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 2>to Dina Bass, who covers all things AI infrastructure. Marvel,

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, only an eighty billion dollar company, not nearly

0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:27.920
<v Speaker 2>as large as Nvidia, but it is starting to show

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 2>how it's building out in AI.

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:32.679
<v Speaker 13>Sure, we've been talking about in Vidia a lot, and

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:35.880
<v Speaker 13>last week we were talking a lot about the Google TPU.

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 13>The TPU is one of these kind of custom chips.

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:43.439
<v Speaker 13>It's not one that Marvell does, it's one that Google

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:47.120
<v Speaker 13>works with. Marvell's a main competitor, Broadcom. On Broadcoms had

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:49.200
<v Speaker 13>a lot of significant wins lately, and.

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:53.639
<v Speaker 14>So investors have been anxiously waiting a slash worry to

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 14>see whether Marvel could post similar, similar interesting contracts, and

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 14>yesterday Marvell's ce you know, Matt Murphy, gave a very

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.760
<v Speaker 14>bullish forecast for the fourth quarter in that business indicated

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:09.680
<v Speaker 14>a new customer wins.

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.439
<v Speaker 15>That included what he called, quote an emerging hyperscaler. We

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.400
<v Speaker 15>don't know who that is, but that kind of got

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 15>people excited. And maybe Marvella is also benefiting from this

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:21.720
<v Speaker 15>interest in companies making their own shift designs for AI,

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 15>not just using the in video ones, even though in

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:27.679
<v Speaker 15>most cases those companies also use a significant amount of Nvidia.

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it needed a bit of optimism, right The

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:32.680
<v Speaker 2>stock is down twelve percent year today, even with today's gains.

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:35.959
<v Speaker 2>There's also optimism that maybe they're making bolt on acquisitions

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Celestial AI. Why are they going into photonics.

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:45.439
<v Speaker 16>It's basically a new technology which you know, it uses

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.960
<v Speaker 16>light to move data more rapidly. Now, this is a

0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 16>technology that's been in the works for a little while

0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 16>and seems to always be kind of on the cosp

0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 16>of really you know, taking off. So we'll have to

0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:57.880
<v Speaker 16>see there are other startups in this area as well,

0:24:57.880 --> 0:24:59.879
<v Speaker 16>like light Matter. We'll have to see if there is

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.560
<v Speaker 16>significant uptake of this type of technology. But the idea

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.680
<v Speaker 16>is that you can use light to move data more

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 16>quickly through chips and networking. And that's you know, one

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:12.719
<v Speaker 16>of the major bottlenecks and AI chips at this point

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:16.680
<v Speaker 16>is you know, stringing them together, the networking that connect

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 16>some the memory and how you move everything rapidly through

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 16>those different bets.

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Dina Bass across this AI infrastructure build out, Thank you

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 2>very much. Indeed, let's now those stick with earnings more broadly,

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 2>we're going to the software sector. We're going to Octa shares.

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 2>You see, been quite a volatile ride today. We're now

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:36.879
<v Speaker 2>up three point three percent. The company reported earnings and

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:40.120
<v Speaker 2>boosted their forecasts. We saw twenty percent growth when you're

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 2>looking more badly at earnings, just seeing twelve percent growth

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:46.239
<v Speaker 2>in revenue. Oct CEO Tom McKinnon joins us now and

0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 2>it looks to go on for the market to digest

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 2>what they were seeing here Todd. Now they seem to

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 2>be optimistic. What did you feel you delivered in terms

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 2>of software and not getting eaten up by big AI offerings.

0:25:57.400 --> 0:25:59.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, the business is doing great.

0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:02.159
<v Speaker 17>We had a solid I think what the market is

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:05.880
<v Speaker 17>digesting is this massive opportunity ahead of us to secure

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 17>AI and what everyone's realizing is that to secure AI,

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:12.360
<v Speaker 17>you have to secure identity. All these companies are trying

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:15.439
<v Speaker 17>to roll out AI agents and to make these agents useful,

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 17>they have to be connected to all of a company's data.

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 17>It's not connected to a company's data, and the agent

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 17>can't work on that data. It's no better than a

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:27.120
<v Speaker 17>consumer chat GPT or Gemini. And we can help companies

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.439
<v Speaker 17>connect their agents to data in a secure and manageable

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 17>way so they can get a great agentic experience for

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 17>their customers and employees and keep it all secure.

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Reflect then on actually the adoption of this agenta KI,

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:41.560
<v Speaker 2>because we've got questions in the market abound about whether

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Microsoft's having to really be able to scale in the

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 2>way that it thought it could in the adoption of agendaki.

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.399
<v Speaker 2>What are you seeing? Are people jumping on it?

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 17>Well, the inbound interest we have for these new products

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 17>Octa for AI agents is something like I've never seen

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.919
<v Speaker 17>in my history at Octa, and so everyone is very interesting,

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:03.400
<v Speaker 17>but they're all stuck. They're stuck because they're realizing they

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 17>have to connect it to their company's data and that's challenging.

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 5>They have two choices.

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:10.159
<v Speaker 17>They can put it all in a data warehouse right

0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:12.719
<v Speaker 17>in the middle and give the agent's access to everything,

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 17>which is problematic because they don't know what the agents

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:17.080
<v Speaker 17>are going to do with it. Or they can just

0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:20.160
<v Speaker 17>have a very vanilla, water down experience where it looks

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 17>just like the consumer chat GPTD you would use at home.

0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 5>So we offer a better choice.

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:26.919
<v Speaker 17>We can connect it to that data in a secure

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 17>way that lets them govern and manage it.

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 5>And that's why the interest is so high.

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 17>So this is having a big unlock and that's what

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 17>I think everyone is starting to realize.

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:36.480
<v Speaker 2>There are a few identity management cut offerings out there.

0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:39.159
<v Speaker 2>How do you compete against the Palo Alto networks, against

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Microsoft itself and wants to offer it and offer you

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 2>the agentic KI as well.

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the way I.

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:47.160
<v Speaker 17>Like to explain it is these companies have to choose

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 17>the right platforms and systems to build out this AI future.

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 17>And imagine, like an analogy I use is imagine if

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.359
<v Speaker 17>you had to choose one streaming service, you had to

0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 17>pick one, you had to pick either Prime Video or Netflix,

0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:02.159
<v Speaker 17>and then that's only when you could watch. That's what

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 17>some of these big platforms are saying. They're saying all

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.239
<v Speaker 17>use everything from us. It's like, just you can only

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:09.159
<v Speaker 17>use Netflix, and you better hope all your shows are

0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:11.680
<v Speaker 17>on Netflix. What we're saying is you can choose whatever

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 17>AI technology you want. Get some You can get a

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 17>model from Google, you can get infrastructure from Amazon, you

0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:20.320
<v Speaker 17>can get application data from Salesforce, and we'll make it

0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:22.680
<v Speaker 17>all work together. You can choose any show you want

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 17>to watch, so to speak. So we don't lock people in.

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 17>We give them a choice across all of the different platforms.

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 17>And that's very important in this innovation because these things

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:31.400
<v Speaker 17>are changing.

0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:31.880
<v Speaker 5>Every week.

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 17>Google comes out of a brand new model. Open Ad

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:36.160
<v Speaker 17>is going to have a new model, and customers want

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:37.360
<v Speaker 17>choice and we give that to them.

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Ton it's interesting that you're saying you're seeing interest like

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you've never seen before. And since you're time in Octa,

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.200
<v Speaker 2>why then is the market still thinking then, actually, your

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 2>revenue growth is kind of going to flatline, be sub

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 2>ten percent growth. Can you see something different?

0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 18>Well?

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:53.920
<v Speaker 5>I think we see two things.

0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 17>We see a very solid business that is profitable and

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 17>growing at a nice clip, and then we see this

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:01.840
<v Speaker 17>massive upside. I think the market is trying to understand

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.640
<v Speaker 17>how quick it materializes, you know, how.

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Big it can be.

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 17>When we're very excited, we think it could be bigger

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 17>than our core business. The opportunity to secure AI could

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 17>be bigger than anything we've ever done. But it's just

0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 17>a matter of making that real and doing the hard

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 17>work with the customers to bring it to fruition.

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:21.840
<v Speaker 2>When we're hearing about how companies are actually adopting more borning,

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 2>what are you seeing most Are you seeing consultants coming in?

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Are you seeing companies trying to build within in and

0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 2>of themselves organically? Are you seeing the likes of the

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 2>sellers of these generative air offerings, the open AIS or

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 2>indeed the Microsoft's going in and almost consulting for them.

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 2>How are we better to streamline? As you say, we're stuck?

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 2>How do we unstick?

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 5>I think, I mean, I think it's all of the above.

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 17>We're seeing starting a lot of interest in the gentic

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:49.080
<v Speaker 17>solutions that.

0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 5>The SaaS providers have rolled out.

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 17>Again, those are powerful, but they're they're limited in the

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 17>sense they're constrained to one application or one service. We're

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 17>seeing a lot of companies start to build their own

0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 17>where they're using tools and capabilities to connect the multiple

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:07.880
<v Speaker 17>databases and warehouses across different SaaS applications. We're what we're

0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:12.040
<v Speaker 17>seeing organic internal development. We're seeing consultants, everyone's trying to

0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 17>help them do this, and I think some of these

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 17>key unlocks like security and identity and context and the

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.680
<v Speaker 17>right access permissions are going to help move this thing

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 17>along in a way that's very, very powerful, powerful for

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 17>everyone because this technology is real and it's quite profound,

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 17>and it can make employees more productive. It can help

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:31.880
<v Speaker 17>companies grow into new industries and new markets. It's going

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 17>to be a big boon for established companies for new companies.

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 5>It's very exciting.

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Tom McKinnon, oup to CEO, it's been great having you

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 2>on the back of your earnings today. Thank you very much. Now,

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about open AI right now. Because it's nonprofit.

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Foundation will award over forty million dollars in grants this

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:52.080
<v Speaker 2>year to US nonprofits now. The organizations support AI literacy,

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 2>community innovation, economic opportunity. It's the foundation's first major action

0:30:56.880 --> 0:31:00.680
<v Speaker 2>since open AI is restructuring. Coming up, how news you

0:31:00.760 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 2>creators are turning to AI slot into content for kids.

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 2>More on that. Next, this is Boomberg Tech, Warner Brothers Discovery.

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Of course, it's still receiving new rounds of bids, including

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 2>we talked about yesterday. Nearly all cash off are coming

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:21.440
<v Speaker 2>from Netflix.

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 18>Now.

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Comcast is reportedly looking to expand its entertainment empire, with

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 2>hopes emerging its NBC Universal division with Warner Brothers in

0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a cash and stock deal. It's according to sources. Let's

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 2>get home to Blombergs Michelle Davis, who's been covering this

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 2>M and A story across media. So what's new here

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:39.920
<v Speaker 2>from the side of Comcast.

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:43.000
<v Speaker 18>So what's new is the big surprise is it sounds

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:45.200
<v Speaker 18>like Comcast has offered Warner Brothers.

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Is David Zaslav, the CEO.

0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:50.520
<v Speaker 18>A management position and the potentially new combined company that's

0:31:50.560 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 18>gonna be really big because it'll it'll be appealing to

0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:55.600
<v Speaker 18>David Zaslav if he, you know, as CEO of Warner

0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 18>Brothers doesn't want to relinquish that sort of control right now.

0:31:58.640 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 2>The other information we.

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:03.400
<v Speaker 18>Have is that Comcast has offered cash and stock for

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 18>a combination, and they're proposing to combine their NBC Universal

0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 18>division with Warner Brothers' streaming and studio division.

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:12.320
<v Speaker 2>And that's something analysts.

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 18>Actually like because they see it as a way to

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 18>potentially unlock some value for Comcast. You'll see Comcast stock

0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:19.920
<v Speaker 18>was trading up on this news, as was Warner Brothers.

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 18>I think our Comcast is still up today, and it

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:26.600
<v Speaker 18>seems like, you know, this deal situation is really heating up.

0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 18>It sounds like while the different offers that are on

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 18>the table are not easily comparable, they are all compelling

0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 18>in their own reasons.

0:32:33.240 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's interesting that Comcast is doing something originally

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 2>similar to Warner Brothers Discovery, which is spinning off the

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:41.200
<v Speaker 2>cable pop so that would still be distributed. This is

0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 2>all still for them about the movie, the library, the streaming,

0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 2>and that's still something that's interesting to Netflix, even though

0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 2>we see it shares like hitting significant lows on the

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:51.480
<v Speaker 2>back and forth with this.

0:32:51.800 --> 0:32:54.960
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, so Comcast and Netflix both have made offers just

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 18>for the streaming and studios portion of Warner Brothers, which

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.959
<v Speaker 18>is seen as kind of the crown jewel. Warner Brothers

0:33:01.040 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 18>or Paramount is still the only one making a play

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 18>for the whole company. But you know, if you are

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:08.160
<v Speaker 18>the board right now, you have to think about whether

0:33:08.440 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 18>a combination with Netflix or Comcast, while potentially lower in

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 18>value than a full cash offer from paramount for the

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 18>whole company. You have to consider whether that would provide

0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:19.280
<v Speaker 18>future value that would exceed whatever cash you would get

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:21.680
<v Speaker 18>today from you know, selling, the entire company is.

0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Going to keep on folding. You'll be across at bloombergs

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Michelle Davis, thank you very much. Indeed, let's talk about

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 2>content in a different way now, because AI generated videos

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 2>getting easier to make, and some YouTube creators are leaning

0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:36.360
<v Speaker 2>into low effort, low quality videos that churn out. What

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 2>critics school AI slot is aimed at a growing viewer base.

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 2>It's children. Bloomberg social media reporter and it Sorvine joins

0:33:44.240 --> 0:33:46.680
<v Speaker 2>us now, and you were kind of taken aback by

0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the amount of AI created kind of addictive, short form

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:52.480
<v Speaker 2>videos that are getting out there on to YouTube kids.

0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 19>Well before I was even taken aback by the AI content,

0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:58.280
<v Speaker 19>I was taken aback by the fact that there are

0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 19>so many babies on YouTube tube and YouTube Kids in.

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 2>The first places that stop.

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 19>So we know that kids are loving YouTube. They have

0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 19>been for a very long time, so much so that

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:10.400
<v Speaker 19>YouTube created YouTube Kids a decade ago to help create

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 19>a safer space for this audience. However, YouTube will be

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 19>the first to say that YouTube kids is not created

0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 19>for babies under the age of two. It is recommended

0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:21.640
<v Speaker 19>really for kids ages two to twelve. But new Pew

0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:25.320
<v Speaker 19>data has shown that babies and infants are actually flocking

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 19>to YouTube in droves, and that is of course a

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:31.239
<v Speaker 19>fact not lost on content creators who see in this

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 19>audience an incredibly valuable opportunity to make content.

0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Their brain is still developing. That's the argument as to

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:39.439
<v Speaker 2>why perhaps it should be limited to an extent. But look,

0:34:39.440 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 2>your heart goes out to families who almost need another

0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:44.760
<v Speaker 2>parent in the house when they're trying to juggle different jobs.

0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I can understand how it ends up entering your lifestyle,

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:51.280
<v Speaker 2>But then what is entering the kids' heads at the moment.

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:54.240
<v Speaker 2>How much of it is being created by AI video generation.

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 19>It's hard to quantify exactly how much of this is

0:34:56.680 --> 0:34:58.800
<v Speaker 19>high quality content and how much of it is purely

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:02.280
<v Speaker 19>AI generated, But and speaking two experts for the story,

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:04.320
<v Speaker 19>it is clear that a lot of what you see

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 19>on YouTube kids is promoting itself as being educational. Titles

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:10.879
<v Speaker 19>that say that they're educational, things like learning to talk

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 19>or how to say You're ABC's, and you certainly get

0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.280
<v Speaker 19>some good quality stuff. You've got the really popular children's

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 19>channels like Coco Melan, you've got creators like Miss Rachel,

0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 19>but mixed in with results from those sort of vetted,

0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:25.400
<v Speaker 19>reputable places, you've got much more obscure videos that are

0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:28.480
<v Speaker 19>from sources that you can't really figure out where quite

0:35:28.520 --> 0:35:29.120
<v Speaker 19>where they're from.

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:31.880
<v Speaker 2>And there lies part of the issue for YouTube that

0:35:31.920 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 2>YouTube Kids is meant to be safe. It's so safe

0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 2>and fat that over in Australia, even they're banning YouTube

0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and other social media for kids under sixteen, they're not

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:42.719
<v Speaker 2>banning YouTube Kids. Is that an interesting fat for you?

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:44.960
<v Speaker 2>And how much YouTube Kids are going to have to

0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:48.080
<v Speaker 2>start limiting exposure to the so called slop and when

0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 2>you want to type in miss Rachel you get miss Rachel.

0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:53.320
<v Speaker 19>Well, I think it is really interesting that in Australia

0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:55.400
<v Speaker 19>YouTube Kids is one of the few social media platforms

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:58.919
<v Speaker 19>that is that is basically being spared in this band

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:02.920
<v Speaker 19>for under sixteen. YouTube Kids may have a lot of

0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 19>content that is safe, but I think it begs the

0:36:04.840 --> 0:36:07.360
<v Speaker 19>question of how much should kids be watching it in

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 19>the first place, and how short is too short. Some

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:12.759
<v Speaker 19>of the experts we spoke to are concerned that some

0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 19>of the shorter content can affect children's attention spans, and

0:36:15.680 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 19>how long is too long. Some of the content that

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:19.919
<v Speaker 19>I was finding on YouTube Kids was four hours long,

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:23.920
<v Speaker 19>and that is obviously far, far longer than is recommended

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:27.800
<v Speaker 19>by experts. So I think the question is how YouTube

0:36:27.840 --> 0:36:30.200
<v Speaker 19>Kids balances that one of these are questions that they

0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:33.680
<v Speaker 19>address and sort of what they communicate to parents to

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:37.080
<v Speaker 19>help parents feel more comfortable that the content that is

0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:39.880
<v Speaker 19>up there is actually vetted and not just simply chosen

0:36:39.920 --> 0:36:41.959
<v Speaker 19>by AI as something that could be appropriate for kids.

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 2>You and I parents young children. How many parents are

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:44.960
<v Speaker 2>worried about this?

0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:48.319
<v Speaker 19>So you spoke to parents are very conflicted about this.

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:50.920
<v Speaker 19>They're extremely worried. But at the same time, parents I

0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 19>spoke to for the story said that they need YouTube.

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:56.520
<v Speaker 19>One parent I spoke to described it as a third

0:36:56.520 --> 0:36:59.959
<v Speaker 19>parent sometimes when she just needs a break. Another father

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 19>told me how this is a really big internal struggle

0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:04.080
<v Speaker 19>because sometimes he just needs the kids to lock into

0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:06.879
<v Speaker 19>YouTube so he can deliver on other parts of being

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:09.200
<v Speaker 19>a dad. At the same time, I think that there

0:37:09.719 --> 0:37:13.120
<v Speaker 19>were parents, their parents that I heard from, who described

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:15.839
<v Speaker 19>wanting to get rid of YouTube Kids altogether because they

0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:18.120
<v Speaker 19>said that more than any other platform that their kids

0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:21.359
<v Speaker 19>are using or appy. They when they're told to turn

0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:23.760
<v Speaker 19>off YouTube kids, they actually can't turn it off.

0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:25.880
<v Speaker 2>And they end up in a bad mood. Quite often,

0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I find off if they've ever consumed anything on the screen.

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:31.480
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate this deep dive is a great read. Alex

0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Levine on her latest on YouTube kids, TikTok. When I

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:43.800
<v Speaker 2>invest more than thirty seven billion dollars to build a

0:37:43.920 --> 0:37:46.800
<v Speaker 2>data center in Brazil, so the first project in Latin America.

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:49.600
<v Speaker 2>The data center will be developed near the industrial port

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:52.240
<v Speaker 2>of the same and will fully rely on clean energy

0:37:52.239 --> 0:37:55.319
<v Speaker 2>from wind energy parks, whom Marg's Peter Millard joins us

0:37:55.360 --> 0:37:58.640
<v Speaker 2>and you cover energy out of Rio. Why is Brazil

0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 2>so well placed for this day to send to build out.

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:04.080
<v Speaker 4>Brazil?

0:38:04.200 --> 0:38:09.000
<v Speaker 20>It's Latin America's largest economy, and it's also a renewable

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 20>energy powerhouse. Most of the energy comes from hydroelectric plants.

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 20>There's also been a rapid advance in wind energy and

0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:25.319
<v Speaker 20>most recently with solar energy, and so data centers they

0:38:25.400 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 20>want to have, they're basically looking for clean energy when

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:31.799
<v Speaker 20>they build out these data centers. I know there are

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:35.359
<v Speaker 20>some that are relying on natural gas, but ideally they

0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 20>want renewable energy, and Brazil has it. It also has

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 20>a completely interconnected electricity grid, unlike the US, where you

0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:49.919
<v Speaker 20>have kind of certain where it's kind of split up geographically.

0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:50.520
<v Speaker 5>And so that helps.

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:54.440
<v Speaker 20>You can have a renewable energy project far away from

0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:56.200
<v Speaker 20>where the data center actually is, and then they can

0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:59.680
<v Speaker 20>have a purchase agreement where they are and the electricity

0:38:59.680 --> 0:39:01.799
<v Speaker 20>goes into the grid and then the data center would

0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:02.279
<v Speaker 20>consume it.

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:04.799
<v Speaker 2>So the data center developer involved is omnia. You've got

0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Casidol's mentors, who's helping with the energy supply. Peter, How

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:10.319
<v Speaker 2>big is this because in the US we've almost become

0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:13.400
<v Speaker 2>a bit numb to thirty seven billion dollars here, another

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:16.479
<v Speaker 2>trillion there. But this must be pretty seismic in terms

0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:17.000
<v Speaker 2>of scale.

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 5>Yes, that's right.

0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 20>When they talk about the first phase, they're talking about

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:28.880
<v Speaker 20>three hundred megawatts. But at Pierson, the officials I've spoken

0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 20>to have said that it could reach up the three gigawatts,

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.280
<v Speaker 20>which is I mean, they would take about a decade

0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:37.680
<v Speaker 20>to get there, but that's half of what you currently

0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:41.399
<v Speaker 20>have in Virginia. So in terms of scale, it could be.

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Huge, And of course we'll be thinking a lot about

0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 2>the relationship that Brazil has with China, and therefore Bite

0:39:47.320 --> 0:39:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Dance TikTok's parent from the Moost Peter Millard. It's a

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 2>great story. Thanks for bringing it to us. Meanwhile, let's

0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:56.839
<v Speaker 2>talk about Salesforce shares at a historic cheap valuation, as

0:39:56.840 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 2>this concerns well that its growth prospects could be eroded.

0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 2>II the company releases its third quarter earnings later today,

0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:06.840
<v Speaker 2>what can we expect. Arag Rana joins us from Blombag Intelligence,

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:09.160
<v Speaker 2>and there is this anxiety that even though they can

0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:11.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about agent Force until they're blue in the face,

0:40:11.040 --> 0:40:13.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not actually giving much bearing on revenue.

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, there are two elements of it, and you know,

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:18.440
<v Speaker 8>one of the most important part is the size of

0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 8>the company. It's a it's a very large software company,

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:24.080
<v Speaker 8>very big revenue base. So even if you see adoption

0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:26.319
<v Speaker 8>of whether it's data cloud on the AI side or

0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 8>agent Force, it doesn't move the needle if the macro

0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:32.000
<v Speaker 8>is bad. And that's really the big narrative for whether

0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:35.600
<v Speaker 8>it's Salesforce or Workday or a lot of other software companies.

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.279
<v Speaker 8>Is enterprise tech spending on the non AI side of

0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:40.560
<v Speaker 8>it is not that strong. You're not at people are

0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 8>not adding headcount at the same rate they were a

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 8>few years ago, and that is what's weighing in the

0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:48.000
<v Speaker 8>subscription growth rate of all these companies. And I think

0:40:48.040 --> 0:40:50.640
<v Speaker 8>that's the big narrative. And you know, from my experience,

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:53.640
<v Speaker 8>unless the estimate starts to move up, you know, the

0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:56.400
<v Speaker 8>star kind of you know, it remains you know, I

0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:57.320
<v Speaker 8>would say range bound.

0:40:57.360 --> 0:40:57.879
<v Speaker 5>On that case.

0:40:58.080 --> 0:40:59.840
<v Speaker 2>What's really interesting is the narrative in the market is

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:04.280
<v Speaker 2>being dictated by a report out of the information about

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Microsoft sort of finding it tough to charge people for

0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:11.040
<v Speaker 2>its co pilots, for its agenda AI offerings and salespeople

0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:13.959
<v Speaker 2>sort of having pulled back on targets. Now we haven't

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:16.200
<v Speaker 2>managed to match that thus far and around, But is

0:41:16.239 --> 0:41:18.799
<v Speaker 2>that really what is focusing the minds of those in

0:41:18.840 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 2>the market, Whether there's productivity gains from salesforce from copilot.

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 8>So again, there are two aspects of it, and I

0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:28.480
<v Speaker 8>think one thing is very clear that there is no

0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:31.160
<v Speaker 8>shortage of revenue on the AI infrastructure site, So let's

0:41:31.239 --> 0:41:33.920
<v Speaker 8>keep that, you know. The other one one area, the

0:41:34.000 --> 0:41:36.800
<v Speaker 8>second piece is all these co pilot products that companies

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:39.560
<v Speaker 8>are launching in the case of Microsoft, when it comes

0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:43.440
<v Speaker 8>to something like a GitHub copilot, highly productive and massive

0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 8>updake just because of what it provides. In the case

0:41:46.560 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 8>of the office copilot, it has value to it for

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:52.000
<v Speaker 8>the end customers, but at the same time, it's very

0:41:52.040 --> 0:41:54.960
<v Speaker 8>expensive to run at this point because the cost of

0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:58.560
<v Speaker 8>you know, token generation and inference is not that it

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:01.719
<v Speaker 8>is not that low. That's going to come down and

0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:04.799
<v Speaker 8>it will lead to more and more people embracing that.

0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:06.959
<v Speaker 8>But that goes back to the first thing we talked

0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:10.000
<v Speaker 8>about is a slowdown in enterprise tech spending, and I

0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:14.080
<v Speaker 8>think that bays on everything, not just a handful of sectors.

0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Many of those can perhaps show the benefits of Informatica

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:20.640
<v Speaker 2>purchase today at least yeah, I.

0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:23.680
<v Speaker 8>Mean, I think that you will see some revenue uplift

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:25.799
<v Speaker 8>because of that, and that's good. But the question is

0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:27.839
<v Speaker 8>going to be what kind of cross selling can they

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:32.720
<v Speaker 8>do using their distribution arm that could get Informatica's organic

0:42:32.760 --> 0:42:35.640
<v Speaker 8>sales growth a big lift, because I think that is

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 8>one of the benefits of accumulating some of these assets

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:39.560
<v Speaker 8>under one umbrella.

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:42.279
<v Speaker 2>And rak Rana it's a busy day, a busy week.
