1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news from. 2 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 2: The Heart where Innovation, money and power. Collie in Silicon Valley, 3 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: nbon This is Bloomberg Technology with Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlove. 4 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: Live from New York. This is Bloomberg Technology. Coming up. 5 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 4: Apple is developing an AI server chip, according to reports, 6 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 4: and it's doing it all. Broadcom details this hour, plus 7 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 4: the valuation of SpaceX goes to new heights, reaching three 8 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty billion dollars after an insider deal, and Nvidia, 9 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 4: AMD and Intel invest in a startup bringing light to chips. 10 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 4: We sit down with the CEO later this hour, but 11 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 4: first that's checking on these markets. And currently we are 12 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 4: continuing to see some optimism around the NASA one hundred, 13 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 4: one point four percent on the day crypto as well. 14 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 4: Once again above the one hundred thousand dollars level one thousand, 15 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 4: five hundred and thirty two is where we trade so 16 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 4: risk on across the board. We look at some of 17 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 4: the points contributors when you look under the hood of 18 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 4: the NASDAT one hundred, it's interesting to once again just 19 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 4: be seeing some of the key stocks being on the move. 20 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 4: Of Apple, which has continued to have a very good 21 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 4: November and into December, we see where Apple and Broadcom 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 4: trade on the back of that report that Apple is 23 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 4: indeed looking to be creating its own AI server chips 24 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 4: designed especially for artificial intelligence, and it's working with Broadcom. 25 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 4: This is all on the chips, networking technology, it's all 26 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 4: being reported by the information. Will bring you so much 27 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 4: more on that in a moment, but let's get back 28 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 4: to the context of the markets, the GUP politics. After 29 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 4: that Yellen interview by David Gura, Anna Rathans with US 30 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 4: chief investment officer at cib's Investment Advisory Services, and look, 31 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 4: we've got a risk on feel we're once again seeing 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 4: nvideo on the upside, you're seeing Apple on the green 33 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 4: alphabet on a tear. 34 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: Is this the way that we should be trading it? 35 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: Good morning, There's certainly a lot of excitement and AI 36 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: has transformed a lot. 37 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 3: Now the. 38 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: Trouble with China and VideA happens to be on the 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: cross here is it's not about Nvidia, it's not even 40 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: about the US. It's all about China. It's a little 41 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: bit of a noise. But when I say that AI 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: has transformed, we're talking about Apple and Broadcom, Amazon is 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: also designing its own chips. There's a lot to be 44 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: excited about. So the excitement over AI is no longer 45 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: really a dream as it had been twenty twenty three 46 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four. Going into twenty twenty five, I 47 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: think we have a lot more to look forward to. 48 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 4: But when you've had more than one hundred percent gain 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 4: in a name like in Video over course of twenty 50 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 4: twenty four, when you've got record highs on the likes 51 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 4: of Google Alphabet the parent company today, can you really 52 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 4: be juicing these stocks any further on? 53 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: Well, you know, so some of this is about the technames, 54 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: some of it is about relative VALUEUA. Right, So the 55 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: question really in our minds as asset allocators is where 56 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: would assets go if we take a look at the 57 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: global economy and other areas of the global markets as 58 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: well as some of the old economy stock names here, 59 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: even the fundamentals don't look as exciting, and they're not 60 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: the ones that are driving innovation, and so it's hard 61 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: to get excited about other areas. 62 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: So it you know, you could see. 63 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: A lot of US is still driving into tech names. 64 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: The other thing, one more thing is a lot of 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: the political changes. I mean, Lena Khan, it looks like 66 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: she is out coming in as Andrew Ferguson. A lot 67 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: of the hurdles that happened to be there in not 68 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: only the M and A market, but tech as well, 69 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: in terms of antitrust, that seems to be removed. 70 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: So it's not. 71 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: Necessarily about where the valuations are just for tech. It's 72 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: relative valuation as well as what will the environment be like. 73 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: Although the Trump announcement for DOJ has made many people 74 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 4: worrying for Alphabet, and yet Alphabet continues to be at 75 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 4: a record high. Are you not in any way given 76 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 4: pause on the antitrust side of things for that particular 77 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 4: name or others? 78 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that particular name, I think it's well on its way. 79 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: So I don't think necessarily Alphabet will fit into that film. 80 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 5: But I'm talking about the general environment. 81 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: For M and A and as well as tech. Now, 82 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, to your point there are it's not all 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: you know roses here. There is this aspect of freedom 84 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: of speech, and I don't know how that's going to 85 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: be defined in twenty twenty five for tech, especially for 86 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: social media platforms, and that remains to be seen. So 87 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: it's not all roses, but certainly a lot of hurdles 88 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: have been removed. 89 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: What about the spreading out from the mag seven and 90 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 4: some of these winning trump trades we think are the 91 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: palanteers and the teslas of this world. Will that broaden out? 92 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: We keep hearing that it'll broaden out. Is it going 93 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 4: into other parts of the AI ecosystem energy for example? 94 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think we have to see AI and 95 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: other tech you know, advancements actually make it into these 96 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: old economy names or even other tech names that are 97 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: a little bit not not so much chip based, right, 98 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: And I think we'll need to see more innovation on 99 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: that and really where the rubber hits the road, how 100 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: AI would actually impact these industries. And until then, it 101 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: still feels like we're running on fumes here and that's 102 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: probably why it hasn't broadened out yet. But we'll see 103 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five if there's a difference. 104 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, you were saying that you still had this conversation 105 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 4: by saying there's a lot to look forward to in 106 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five. We still wring our hands about what 107 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 4: the killer application of general to AI is other than 108 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 4: Gemini two point zero on my phone or the ability 109 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 4: to have basically an analyst next to me every time 110 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 4: I want to research. Is that in US in terms 111 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 4: of the return on investment. 112 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 5: I don't think. 113 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: So, you know, we got a glimpse of it in 114 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, where you know, all is hype about 115 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: AI and how these big MAC seven companies are investing 116 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: in AI. Was simply enough to get the price up. 117 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: But then we started to look for ROI on them, 118 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: and I think the market may be looking for a 119 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: little bit more in twenty twenty five, so we're going 120 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: to have to see something a little bit more concrete. 121 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: But that is where I think that these tech companies 122 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: are running really hard, because this is about market share, 123 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: and this is about running to see who the first 124 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: mover is for capturing that first mover advantage, because if 125 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: they don't, they will lag behind. They know that, and 126 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to the innovation that is. 127 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 4: To come prison's dilemma or indeed innovation focus. Anna Rathman, 128 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 4: we thank you Ceva's Investment Advisory Services CIO. Let's just 129 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 4: talk about some of those names we just referenced a 130 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 4: little bit more, Tesla, Broadcom. 131 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: But also Nintendo. These are just a few. 132 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 4: Of the global stocks to watch in the coming year. 133 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 4: It's all according to Bloomberg Busessweek. Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence 134 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 4: track some two thousand companies from a variety of industries, 135 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 4: and they've identified fifty that are worth watching closely. Many 136 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 4: of them, of course, are tech companies. Let's bring in 137 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: Bloomberg's Max Chafkin, who's been pouring over all of this. 138 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 4: Let's start with the Trump trade. We're just mentioning Palenteer there. 139 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 4: It is up three hundred percent. Tesla has been phenomenal 140 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: growth since Trump came into the administration. One of the 141 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 4: analysts thinking. 142 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 6: That, yeah, with both of those stocks, you have a 143 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 6: Trump trade and sort of a general vibes AI thing 144 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 6: going on, and. 145 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: Those two things feeding into one another. 146 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 6: So so Palenteer obviously has some AI connections as well 147 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 6: as it's a defense contractor co founded by Peter Teel 148 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 6: Trump is going to be president, you know, there's a 149 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 6: case there that maybe they'll do better Tesla. Of course, 150 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 6: Elon Musk having the ear of the President elect is 151 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 6: a good sign. But with both of those stocks, there 152 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 6: is a sense that they are very highly valued, perhaps 153 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 6: relative to where their actual revenue is and what their 154 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 6: business prospects are. You know, Palenteer is not a leading 155 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 6: AI company. It isn't It isn't as far ahead as 156 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 6: Google or Open Ai or something like that. Tesla talks 157 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 6: a lot about self driving cars, but they have not 158 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 6: sold a self driving car, so you have some challenges there. 159 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: So that's the tension there. 160 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 4: The interesting shift that we've seen is maybe a slight 161 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 4: pullback on chip companies. A lot of the exuberants in 162 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, twenty two, for has been factored in. 163 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: Broadcom today gets a lift higher because we think that 164 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,119 Speaker 4: it's going to be working for Apple on its server 165 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 4: AI chips according to the information. But Broadcon and micro 166 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 4: being referenced. 167 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Broadcom's interesting. 168 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 6: It's one of a handful of companies that can try 169 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 6: to compete with Nvidia. It is directly and has directly 170 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 6: benefited from this extreme exuberance in AI. Now in the 171 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 6: chip world, of course, it has a more direct benefit 172 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 6: to AI. I mean they are selling you know, chips 173 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 6: or intellectual property that is being used, whether or not 174 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 6: chat GBT becomes. 175 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 3: A hugely transformative thing or not. 176 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 6: Micron's interesting because it's in the memory business, not a 177 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 6: not a direct participant in the AI market, although it 178 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 6: just signed this deal with the Biden administration to get 179 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 6: a huge subsidy for a chips plant, and chip companies 180 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 6: in general have done pretty well, so that's another one 181 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 6: to keep an eye on. 182 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 4: This is a global focus and so we think of 183 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 4: content ITV being that looked at in the United Kingdom, 184 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 4: Nintendo as well. Where else are we looking in terms 185 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: of our consumer focus. 186 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, entertainment is interesting. Nin Hendo, the big story there 187 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 6: is the switch to that's the new version of their console, 188 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 6: which is very popular but is getting long in the tooth. 189 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: Two other names I want to flag. One is Fox. 190 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 6: You know that we've been reading a lot about the 191 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 6: Murdoch drama. You know, Fox has actually done okay considering 192 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 6: the you know, the general declines in TV consumption, linear 193 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 6: TV consumption and so on. And the other one is IMAX. 194 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 6: The losser of large screen movie theater format. Again, that's 195 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 6: a challenging industry. Movie theaters have are going through transition. 196 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 6: On the other hand, these James Cameron movies, the Avatar 197 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 6: movies are bought into Imax and have been doing well. 198 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 6: So that's something that could work in their favor nice. 199 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 4: Chaff can Amazing how you've managed to pour through so 200 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 4: many other stocks for us. 201 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: We love it on those top fifty to. 202 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: Watch Apple and Broadcom stocks on the move today after 203 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: we understand that Apple is working with Broadcom to develop 204 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 4: its own service it's designed specifically for artificial intelligence. Now, 205 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: the latest report is coming from the Information Bloomberg's Mark 206 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 4: German joins us on, Well, you've been reporting this out 207 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: for a long time that Apple will be delivering AI 208 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 4: chips of its own. The nuance here we're learning exactly 209 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 4: who's doing it. 210 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. 211 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 7: The interesting thing is this morning Apple announced that iOS 212 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 7: eighteen point two, which is the latest version of iOS 213 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 7: eighteen and with a lot of the new Apple Intelligence features, 214 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 7: is actually going to be available today. I would anticipate 215 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 7: it's going to be available for download around one pm 216 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 7: Eastern ten am Pacific. And Apple Intelligence is interesting because 217 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 7: you have a lot of models that run on the 218 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 7: device itself. 219 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 5: Right Those capabilities can. 220 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 7: Actually be processed on the phone, the iPad, the Mac independently, 221 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 7: but in some cases they need to go to the cloud. 222 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 7: Things like writing tools, things like summarizing texts in some 223 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 7: cases summarizing articles, and for that you need your own 224 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 7: server infrastructure, and so for what. 225 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 5: Apple has done is they've created tweaked. 226 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 7: Versions of the M two ultra chip they shipped a 227 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 7: couple of years ago, and the M four chip they've 228 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 7: become chipping this year to actually be cloud based servers 229 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 7: to do that AI processing. And so what this report 230 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 7: today is saying is that there's a new generation version 231 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 7: of that chip in development for launch about two years 232 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 7: from now, which makes sense. They are continuing that rolled 233 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 7: out of different chips. They need specialized chips for training data, 234 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 7: for inferring data, for pushing data, and what Broadcom is 235 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 7: really good at is bringing that data in and out. 236 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 7: Apple and Broadcom have been working together for a number 237 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 7: of years. Broadcom makes the combined Wi Fi and Bluetooth 238 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 7: chip inside of the iPhone and some of the other 239 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 7: Apple devices. 240 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 5: Broadcom is continuing. 241 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 7: To work with Apple on what are known as radio 242 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 7: frequency filters or RAF filters, despite the shift away from 243 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 7: paucom modems. 244 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 5: So this is just a continuation. 245 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 7: Of the Apple modem or the Apple Broadcom partnership, i 246 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 7: should say, and new generations of AI servers. It shows 247 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 7: Apple's commitment to artificial intelligence and doing as much as 248 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 7: possible in house. 249 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 4: It's also committed to ensuring that we can get connectivity 250 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 4: wherever we might be. And you reported that out in 251 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 4: terms of the Apple Watch, right and how you're going 252 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 4: to be using satellite going forward. 253 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, this makes sense as well. 254 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 7: Back in twenty twenty two with the iplone fourteen, Apple 255 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 7: launched a feature called Emergency SOS over Satellite. So what 256 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 7: that allows you to do is the first advertisement for 257 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 7: that so eloquently showed is if you're injured or trapped 258 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 7: on a hike or in a remote area without cellular connectivity, 259 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 7: you could tap into a satellite network operated by Global Star. Right, 260 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 7: you can send a text message to emergency services or 261 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 7: file a sort of a radar or an SOS to 262 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 7: emergency services and they'll come find you. They expanded that 263 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 7: earlier this year with iosa team to allow text messages 264 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 7: over satellite to any I message content. 265 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 5: And so if you're a hiker, you need to sort 266 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 5: of bring your iPhone with you. 267 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 7: But they have this eight hund dollars Apple Watch all 268 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 7: trin your towards hikers, and now they're going to update 269 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 7: it about a year from now with its own satellite connected. 270 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 7: Are you meaning you can leave the phone behind and 271 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 7: still have that peace of mind being able to reach 272 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 7: emergency services and sort of stay on the grid while 273 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 7: you're off the grid, out of cellular range. 274 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 4: Few Mark Gllman, great to have some time with you. 275 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 4: Thank you, all things Apple. Meanwhile, let's shift to SpaceX 276 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 4: and its investors have agreed to purchase a much as 277 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 4: one point two five billion dollars of insider shares, founding 278 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 4: the company at a cool three hundred and fifty billion dollars. So, 279 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 4: according to an email seeing my Bloomberg plumost Katie Ruth 280 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 4: joins us, now you've been reporting out this valuation for 281 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: a while and we get confirmation, and in fact, it 282 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 4: seems as though a lot of people didn't really want 283 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 4: to be setting up their shares. 284 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 3: That's right. 285 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 8: Actually Elon Musk even tweeted a confirmation of this. So 286 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 8: we had reported last week that you know, they were 287 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 8: close to finalizing the three hundred and fifty billion dollars valuation, 288 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 8: a world record for a private valuation, that has now 289 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 8: been finalized. My colleague Laurin Gresh obtained the document confirming 290 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 8: our scoop and yeah, it's one hundred and eighty five 291 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,119 Speaker 8: a share. 292 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 4: Which is a significant optic from one hundred and twelve 293 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 4: dollars a share that we were talking about just about 294 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 4: a month ago. All of this optimism is allowing people 295 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 4: who've been long term holders of SpaceX to cash out. 296 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 3: Do we have any idea of who those. 297 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 4: People are, because, as you say it, SpaceX has been 298 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 4: buying back some of the shares, but not as many 299 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 4: as they'd anticipated to be able to. 300 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 8: Sure, so you know, it's up one hundred billion. You know, 301 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 8: from where they were talking a month ago. There's been 302 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 8: a surplus of demand because you know, first of all, 303 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 8: Elon's ties to Trump up and you know, Trump's election 304 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 8: are seen as valuable to some of these shareholders. And 305 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 8: then also SpaceX had a successful rocket launch last month, 306 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 8: and so both of these things contributed to the perceived value. 307 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: A lot of these. 308 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 8: Private companies aren't necessarily valued based on clear cut metrics, 309 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 8: but just where supply meets demand, and often often it's 310 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 8: based on a vision for the future. But yes, it's 311 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 8: apparently they had excess. They didn't have enough sellers, and 312 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 8: so they had to raise the price to match supply. 313 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 4: In the band, the greatest American success is what Jared Eisigman, 314 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 4: who's of course the NASA name. This NASA chief pick 315 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 4: from Trump is calling SpaceX today, KG Ruth. We so 316 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 4: appreciate it, Thank you so much. Coming up, ge even Over, 317 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 4: CEO Scott strat Sik is going to be joining us 318 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 4: for more on how the company is meeting the power 319 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 4: needs required to put AI into action. 320 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 3: This is bloembag technology. 321 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 4: A looming problem placing the AI boom is how the 322 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 4: new technology will be powered, and the race is on 323 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 4: to meet that anticipated demand. One of the key players, 324 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 4: g even Over, the company's developing new technology to provide reliable, affordable, 325 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 4: low carbon electricity that it helps produce the sort of 326 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 4: power that can put AI in action. Here to talk 327 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 4: about it. Geeve and o A CEO Scots Trasik, thank 328 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 4: you so much for being here with Chill and thanks 329 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 4: for having me. 330 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 3: On the back of an investment event. 331 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 4: And you are outlining really the demand that you're going 332 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 4: to be seeing from AI. Can you just put that 333 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 4: into context. How much is going to be increasing the load? 334 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 9: You bet? 335 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 10: I mean, AI is one of manufacturers that's driving to 336 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 10: really the first time in twenty five years, certainly in 337 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 10: the US we're seeing real load growth. It's AI, it's 338 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 10: the electrification of transportation, electrification of homes, but also US 339 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 10: manufacturing are all playing roles that are really leading to 340 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 10: a substantial increase in load growth right now. That's we're 341 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 10: seeing in a number of our businesses. We're seeing it 342 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 10: in substantial increase in orders for gas power right now, 343 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 10: we're seeing it in grid infrastructure equipment, and then working 344 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 10: with the hyperscaler is going back to that question on 345 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 10: how we decarbonize this increased load growth that's very clearly 346 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 10: coming this decade. 347 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 4: So do you decarbonize? Is it all about nuclear? Is 348 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 4: it about innovations? There you set aside what five billion 349 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 4: dollars in terms of R and D, you bet it's. 350 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 9: Really going to be a little bit of all the above. 351 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 10: I mean, there's going to be a lot of decarbonization 352 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 10: of gas over the course of the next decade. That's 353 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 10: with hydrogen, that's with carbon capture. As an example, we 354 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 10: have a running direct air capture plant right now that 355 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 10: we'll be able to parlay similar technology on our gas 356 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 10: turbines over time. 357 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 9: Nuclear is definitely important. 358 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 10: We have sixty five nuclear plants with our technology running 359 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 10: today in the US, we can operate those plants in 360 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 10: provide more electrons this decade. We also have what will 361 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 10: be the first small modular reactor that'll get commissioned this 362 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 10: decade in twenty twenty nine. That will become a bigger 363 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 10: part of the hyperscale or demand cycle into the twenty thirties, 364 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 10: and we're. 365 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 9: Excited about that. So there's a lot of plays here. 366 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 4: It's interesting people have been handwringing about in the last 367 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: decade how much China has invested in nuclear and how 368 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 4: the US ultimately hasn't. Yeah, have you been talking about 369 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 4: this for a while, and now everyone's come to the 370 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 4: same realization. 371 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 10: All Certainly, the activities tolerated considerably in the last call 372 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 10: it twenty four months. I mean, I remember sitting in 373 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 10: the room at COP twenty eight in Dubai with over 374 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 10: twenty heads of states saying we need to triple the 375 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 10: nuclear capacity in the world between now and twenty fifty. 376 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 10: In the sentiment towards nuclears certainly coming that way, both 377 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,479 Speaker 10: whether it be with business or with government. It seems 378 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 10: like this is going to be our time for nuclear 379 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 10: and we're excited about what we can do to help 380 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 10: make that a reality. 381 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 4: Is there an opportunity cost that where are people not looking? 382 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 4: It's interesting that there's perhaps some weakness in the wind 383 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 4: area of your business that analysts are calling out. 384 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 10: Why that, Well, I think the wind industry at large 385 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 10: is one that's still going through more of a maturation 386 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 10: process in industrializing the product at scale relative to gas, relative 387 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 10: to nuclear that just have longer legacies, stronger supply chains, 388 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 10: stronger safety and quality cultures in those supply chains, and totality. 389 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 9: But the reality is when you talk about. 390 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 10: These different power generation technologies and what people are missing, frankly, 391 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 10: it comes back to the grid because regardless of which 392 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 10: technologies are going to power this load growth, we need 393 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 10: to make a massive investment in the grid in the 394 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 10: years to follow. And that's both the physical grid and 395 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 10: how the grid thinks and works and grid software, and 396 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 10: those are big parts of what we're investing into right now. 397 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 4: Is that you is that alongside the government, does this 398 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 4: have to be public private partnerships. 399 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 10: We do stand for public private partnerships for sure. I 400 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 10: mean these are big electrical equipment systems that have been 401 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 10: built over one hundred years with public private partnerships playing 402 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 10: important roles and that will continue, but a lot of 403 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 10: the innovation needs to come from us, so we can't 404 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 10: wait for the government. So we're investing considerably and grid 405 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 10: software as an example. 406 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 9: I mean, does. 407 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 4: That impact profitability the long term? The investors, the analysts 408 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 4: that you're invested in, were loving the long term future 409 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 4: for margin growth, yes, but they were in the near 410 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 4: term a little bit worried about the narrowing of the 411 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 4: margin target is that because you are having to put 412 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 4: money into. 413 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 11: R and D. 414 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 9: We are investing. 415 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 10: We're going to grow our research and development twenty percent 416 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 10: in twenty twenty five, and we're doing that because the 417 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 10: market's telling us that there's real opportunity to yield a 418 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 10: return on that investment over time. The amount of electricity 419 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 10: that's going to be needed in the next two decades 420 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 10: probably can only be compared to the period of time 421 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 10: after World War Two. 422 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 9: It's substantial. 423 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 10: It's important for both economic growth and frankly, it's important. 424 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 9: For stability in the world. 425 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 10: So, yeah, we're investing into the future, but we're doing 426 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 10: it with high confidence that we're going to yield and 427 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 10: return on that investment. 428 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 4: You generate about twenty five percent of the world's electricity 429 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 4: what does the US look like compared to everywhere else 430 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: where in the US. 431 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 3: Are you having to really focus in on. 432 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 9: It? Really isn't all the above theme right now. 433 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 10: I mean, we're building out our manufacturing facility for gas 434 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 10: turbines in Greenville, South Carolina. We're investing into our nuclear 435 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 10: facility in Wilmington, North Carolina. We're also building the largest 436 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 10: onshore wind turbine the cell and upstate New York. 437 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 9: So really throughout the US, we're. 438 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 10: Building stronger local manufacturing to serve a growing market, not 439 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 10: just for the US, but candidly so that as we 440 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 10: make these innovative investments, we can also export that technology 441 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 10: for the world, both for economic development there but also 442 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 10: for peace. 443 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 4: Wow, big thoughts, Jie Vanhova, CEO, Scott Strazik. 444 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 3: Really great to have you in. 445 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 9: Thanks for having me. 446 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 3: Now it's time for talking tech. 447 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 4: First up, the chip that powers Huawei's latest flagship smartphone 448 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 4: is not so different from the one that set off alarm. 449 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 3: Bells in Washington a year ago. 450 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 4: According to a device teardown done by Tech Insights and 451 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 4: Discovery suggests Huawei is still about five years behind industry 452 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 4: leader TSMC in terms of technology plus Swedish payments group Karnabank, 453 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 4: has been fined forty five million dollars by the nation's 454 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 4: financial watchdog for failing to follow anti money laundering rules, 455 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 4: and the authority found quote significant deficiencies at the company, 456 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 4: but Karna points out that this was routine review and 457 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 4: was not related to actual cases of money laundering. And 458 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 4: China's Top Markets watchdog summoned PDD executives to order the 459 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 4: company to fix its refunds first policy, which actually allows 460 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 4: customers to claim refunds without returning their goods. 461 00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 3: The decision comes as a growing number. 462 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 4: Of small merchants argue the practice really hurts their bottom line. 463 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 4: I'll come back to Blue Meg Technology and Caroline Hide 464 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 4: in New York. Let's get you in a quick check 465 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 4: on these markets because the NASZAQ, which is higher risk 466 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 4: assets go higher as we get that inflationary pressure coming 467 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: in as anticipated zero point three percent on the CPI 468 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 4: print month of the month, we are currently up one 469 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 4: point six percent, and really some of the big tech 470 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 4: Magnificent seven names lead us higher. 471 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 3: Go into the individual movers. 472 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 4: We have got some record highs out there across the board, 473 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 4: and a large part that is on Alphabet once again 474 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 4: four straight days and gains the biggest winning four day 475 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 4: street that we've seen since back to March twenty twenty three. 476 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 3: Enthusiasm around the. 477 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 4: Quantum innovation being seen with the Willow quantum chip, but 478 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 4: add on to that Gemini two point zero being released today, 479 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 4: innovations in AI, all of this seems very much a 480 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 4: virtuous circle, despite those antitrust overhangs. So we're hire on 481 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 4: Alphabet move into some of the individual stories as well 482 00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 4: on the day, and we've been looking a lot at 483 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 4: the chip makers in the news coming out of the 484 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 4: information really just iterating a little bit ab mock. German 485 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 4: had already been reporting that yes, Apple is looking at 486 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 4: AI focused server chips, and who do they turn to, Well, 487 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 4: longtime partner Broadcom. We're up some six point three percent 488 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 4: on the back of Broadcom. And lastly, I'm just looking 489 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 4: at super Micro, the volatility remaining around that particular name. 490 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 4: After of course, they did get that extension to be 491 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 4: giving their financials to the Nasdaq by February. Let's just 492 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 4: talk a little bit more about on the private side 493 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 4: and the chip question a little bit more as well. 494 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 4: Io Labs has just raised one hundred and fifty five 495 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 4: million dollars in its latest funding round, the likes of Nvidia, 496 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 4: AMD Ventures, Intel Capital, the three big chip companies basically 497 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 4: using what is their next technology specializing in using light 498 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 4: to transfer data between chips, reducing bottlenecks is hoped in 499 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 4: AI chip technology I A Lab CEO, Mark Wade joins us. 500 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 4: Now I just want to get the context for our viewers. 501 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 4: What exactly is going on here? How does photons how 502 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 4: does ultimately light help reduce the bottlenecks in chips at 503 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 4: the moment. 504 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 12: Yeah, well, first, Caroline, thanks for having us here. I'm 505 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 12: excited to be here and talking with you. I think 506 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 12: the way to think about this is everyone's familiar with 507 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 12: and I've been tracking all the innovations coming out and 508 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 12: exciting applications happening in AI. But the AI application has 509 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 12: really broken the back of existing computing infrastructure. And we've 510 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 12: seen a lot of innovation happening on the compute side. 511 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 12: So people like in video building GPUs, and we've seen 512 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 12: how these GPUs get deployed in huge AI data center deployments, 513 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 12: So thousands, tens of thousands of GPUs, but you have 514 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 12: to connect all of those GPUs together. So now we're 515 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 12: at a point to where the bottlenecks are happening, and 516 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 12: how you connect these GPUs together and start to drive 517 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 12: to higher performance overall systems, driving model growth more interactive 518 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 12: AI models, And these bottlenecks right now show up as 519 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 12: lower performance, higher costs, and drive a lot of cost 520 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 12: pressure in the AI application and the software level that's 521 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 12: built on top of it. So we're really looking to 522 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 12: bring the optical innovation to solve that interconnect bottleneck. 523 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 4: How quickly are we talking about hearing in the next 524 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 4: couple of years mass production? 525 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 5: Yeah? 526 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 2: I think you know. 527 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 12: We're bringing a low level innovation to the high volume 528 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 12: semiconductor world, and products in this space always take a 529 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 12: few years to get to high volume. In the product 530 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 12: cycles are a few years long. So the way to 531 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 12: think about where we're at right now and what differentiates 532 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 12: us is we have a chip that we ship today. 533 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 12: So it's an optical chip. It's got one hundred million 534 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 12: transistors on it, it's got thousands of optical devices. Now 535 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 12: we've really brought a level of integration and performance that's 536 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 12: never been seen before. But we're shipping in the tens 537 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 12: of thousands of units whereas the market demand is tens 538 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 12: of millions. So the work that we still have to 539 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 12: do over the next few years, along with our partners 540 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 12: in our strategic investors, so in Nvidia, AMD, Intel, but 541 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 12: also very importantly the high volume simas manufacturers, Global Foundries, TSMC, 542 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 12: Intel Foundry working on bringing this forward and scaling it 543 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 12: a thousand x in the next few years. So think 544 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 12: of this as still a couple of years away. 545 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 3: Mark, who are you currently shipping to? In what form? 546 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: Is it already been used? 547 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 12: Yeah, so we're shipping across a number of the customers 548 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 12: that we strategically work with, and how they're using it 549 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 12: right now is one making sure that the core technology works. 550 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 12: So we've invented a new technology, and so before you 551 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 12: commit to deploying that in high volume, you have to 552 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 12: kick the tires and say, okay, there's some new elements here, 553 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 12: there's innovation that we've done. Does it actually work, how's 554 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 12: it yielding, how's it behaving in terms of reliability? And 555 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 12: so a lot of our customers are consuming these thousands 556 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 12: and tens of thousands of parts to really prove out 557 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 12: that this technology is poised to scale into the millions. 558 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: So that's how people are using it today. 559 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 4: When you think about Nvidia, AMD, Intel, all of them 560 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 4: fierce frenemies in some ways work with each other, but 561 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 4: in many ways work to compete. They're willing to all 562 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,239 Speaker 4: work very equally to get access to your technology. 563 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the way to think about. 564 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 12: This is everyone's realizing that a transition towards a new 565 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 12: scale of optical technologies and optical products, it's very important 566 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 12: for all of their future deployments in products. So we've 567 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 12: always viewed this and what we're doing as a broadly 568 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 12: deployed and ubiquitous technology. 569 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 2: So, yes, you're right. 570 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 12: This mac conductor world is notorious for frenemy engagements. You know, 571 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 12: your suppliers, your partners. Sometimes you're competing. I think that's 572 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 12: just how this world works, and ultimately it rewards those 573 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 12: who innovate generation after generation. And we're on the forefront 574 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 12: of bringing optical innovation and optical products to the broad market. 575 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 12: So that's how we view it, and we see our 576 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 12: partners really working closely and well with us to realize 577 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 12: that vision. 578 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 3: It came out of academia. MIT Lab was where a 579 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 3: lot of this was born. 580 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 4: Mark, what about the profitability the business model for you 581 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 4: and what layer are you getting paid? 582 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 5: Great question. 583 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 12: Part of the innovation here is that we're bringing the 584 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 12: power of fabulous semiconductor design, which has done phenomenally well 585 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 12: in the world of SEAMAS and Electronics and companies Liken, Vidia, AMD, 586 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 12: but we're bringing a photonic element to that. So we 587 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 12: get paid at the chip level. So we ship a 588 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 12: known good optical IoT chiplet so it's a silicon ship 589 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 12: that we ship to our customers and they integrate that 590 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 12: chip into their multi chip packages GPUs, CPUs in the 591 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 12: future switches memory interfaces. So this really becomes a ubiquitous, 592 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 12: largely deployed kind of proliferation of optical technologies, and we. 593 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 4: Sell it chip At the moment, who makes those chips 594 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 4: is Global Foundries, Intel, and you're talking to TSMC. 595 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 3: Will we just see all of those. 596 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 4: Three be the ones that bring you to mass production 597 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 4: by twenty twenty six. 598 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: That's right. 599 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 12: I think the other thing to latch onto here is 600 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 12: that the high volume, leading edge foundries are getting involved. 601 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 12: So Global Foundries, Intel, Foundries, TSMC, they've all made public 602 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 12: statements about what they're doing in photonics, and we're working 603 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 12: closely with all of them, and we're excited about how 604 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 12: this is coming together. And yes, we need that scale 605 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 12: of manufacturing to deliver to the tens and hundreds of 606 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 12: millions of units that the market is demanding a few 607 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 12: years in the future. 608 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 4: I allowed CEO Mark Wade, really appreciate your time on 609 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 4: the funding round. Meanwhile, just shift our attention to GM 610 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 4: shutting down its Cruise Robotaxi division, setting high development costs 611 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 4: and reputational risks. GM will merge crews into its operations, 612 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 4: focusing on developing advanced safety systems and offering autonomous driving 613 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 4: as a. 614 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 3: Feature of future models. 615 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 4: The company says the decision will save the company over 616 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 4: a billion dollars in annual costs coming up was in 617 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 4: store for the ibo market heading into twenty twenty five? 618 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 4: Wesley Chants with US co founder and managing partner at 619 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 4: FPV Ventures. 620 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Technology. 621 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 4: After potential IPO filings from companies like Klana, like Service Titan, 622 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 4: what's the outlook for tech IPOs heading into the next year. 623 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 4: How long will these AI valuations remain so heavy? Wesley 624 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 4: chan is with US co founder and managing partner at 625 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 4: fpvv Eventures. We've got a lot of thoughts on both 626 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 4: sides of the equation. We are getting excited for potentially 627 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 4: IPOs to reopen, particularly as we see a new administration. 628 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 3: Everyone's talking about more pro business. Is that going to happen? 629 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 2: I think so. 630 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 13: I mean, everybody's very excited about twenty twenty five, especially 631 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 13: going to twenty twenty six. If more interest rates fall, 632 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 13: you'll see a lot of people pump more money in 633 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 13: the markets and you might have a wonderful season of IPOs. 634 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 13: We're still waiting it out right now. It hasn't happened. 635 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 13: You know, Service Titan has filed. We're hoping in fingers crossed, 636 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 13: so that does really well, and you know, I think that 637 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 13: will open up the doors for more people to want 638 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 13: to come out into the market. 639 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 4: There's been some bit of pills to swallow on the progress. 640 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 4: For example, a Klana in the heady days of twenty 641 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 4: twenty one, the valuation is much different, but it has 642 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 4: improved from recent years. What does that speak to in 643 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 4: terms of where the valuations will lie when we come 644 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 4: to the public market. 645 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: They'll still be down from the last couple of years. 646 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 13: So you have to remember that we had zero interest rates, 647 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 13: so people had an outrageous amount of money in the markets. 648 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 13: With the pandemic and the stimulus, people just pumped money 649 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 13: in the IPOs as. 650 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: If it was everything was great. 651 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 13: And I think what you'll see in the next couple 652 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 13: of years is only the best companies will sort of 653 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 13: come out at the beginning, and that those best companies 654 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 13: will get valuations that are are reflective of their being 655 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 13: unique and being exceptional. 656 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 4: And those best companies always going to have to be 657 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 4: generative AI adjacent RD you know, I hope. 658 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 2: Not right Like you know, I think there are a 659 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: lot of great companies that are waiting. 660 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 13: I'm I've been involved with Canada for almost for almost 661 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 13: eleven years, and they do use some AI as part 662 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 13: of their product offering. But you know, Canvas started out 663 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 13: as a tool for everybody to use to be pro 664 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,959 Speaker 13: to be more productive, and you know, nobody sees them 665 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 13: as an AI company quite yet. And you know, everybody 666 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 13: talking about their possibility of IPO in the next couple 667 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 13: of years. So you'll see a lot of great companies 668 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 13: come out. 669 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 4: Will they all come out in the United States? If 670 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 4: indeed they are that. We're seeing Indian listings, for example, 671 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 4: pick up for local companies or is it all about 672 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 4: coming to the US. 673 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 13: I think if you're a founder, no matter where in 674 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 13: the world, do you or you know a lot of 675 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 13: them tell me it's through dream to IPO in the US, 676 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 13: so you know you'll see the best ones IPO here. 677 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 13: That's where all the capital is and where people are 678 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 13: excited about having their listenings. 679 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 3: People are exuberant. 680 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 4: They're also about M and A picking up. I mean, 681 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 4: many would say there's still limitations on the Magnificent seven 682 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 4: to really make too many acquisitions. But is that going 683 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 4: to be a more furtive area of exit at least? 684 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 13: I hope so, but I'm skeptical of it. We have 685 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 13: a couple issues with M and A. The first being 686 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 13: that you know, a lot a lot of it was blocked. 687 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 13: You know you saw this morning. Then we had another 688 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 13: one that was kind of blocked on this Kroger Albertson's one. 689 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 13: We might have a new administration, we might have a 690 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 13: new FTC that will be more more lenient towards allowing 691 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 13: some of these m and as through, But right now 692 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 13: it's the M and A market is for most part 693 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 13: shut down, especially for folks and tech companies. 694 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 4: So where are you seeing for example, a lot of 695 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 4: the activity when you're all trying to get into deals, 696 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 4: is it that you're writing still the initial checks? How 697 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 4: much you've been tempted by some of these secondary market activities. 698 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 4: It seemed to be the area of giving certainly investors 699 00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 4: and employees liquidity. 700 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 13: You know, there's a lot of activity helpening happening there, 701 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 13: but my taste has always been either first check in 702 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 13: or on the series A and not doing these secondaries. 703 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 13: That's where you spot these founders was amazing talent, and 704 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 13: they'll probably go to IPO if they achieve what they want. 705 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 2: Google went to IPO. 706 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 13: I was there as a very early employee, and I 707 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 13: watched that reopen the public markets in two thousand and four. 708 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 2: And you know, you have one great or two. 709 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 13: Great or three great companies IPO and the market will 710 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 13: start blooming again. We sought first then well Google when 711 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 13: things were shut down after Enron and after the first 712 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 13: recession in. 713 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 2: The dot com bust. 714 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 13: So you know, the history doesn't quite repeat itself. But 715 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 13: boy doesn't rhyme a lot does rhyme? 716 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 4: Does the never ending wall of money going towards general 717 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 4: to AI startups continue. 718 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 2: We're already seeing it stop a little bit right. 719 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 13: You know, there were a lot of it E been 720 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 13: flows and with a lot of general of AI startups 721 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 13: that were doing video models or doing you know, the 722 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 13: first stage. A lot of them can't raise money anymore. 723 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 13: You know, they're calling companies I can and saying, please 724 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 13: acquire us. 725 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: We're just out of cash. So I think I think 726 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: you're going. 727 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 13: To see that first wave start, you know, start start 728 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 13: seeing their bubble pop, and then you'll see a second 729 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 13: wave of applications. The ones that are changing how legal 730 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 13: is done, changing how insurance is done, changing how insurance 731 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 13: underwriting serve occurs, start to become very popular, and I 732 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 13: think those will have some value. We saw this in 733 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 13: mobile firsthand. Like you know, a lot of the companies 734 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 13: that were doing mobile infrastructure all went could put you know, 735 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 13: very very quickly, or they got bought as acquisitive M 736 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 13: and A by Google or Apple. And what you'll see 737 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 13: is companies like Jena that are the incumbents in jenai, 738 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 13: whether it's Google or Microsoft or open Ai which is 739 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 13: entirely almost funded by Microsoft, sort of keep the line 740 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 13: share because they have access to all the compute power. 741 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 3: You see, it's got a lot of money, as we said, 742 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 3: But what you'll. 743 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 2: See is a lot of the application layers. 744 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 13: Just like how Uber and Airbnb became the application companies 745 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 13: for mobile, the application companies for Jenai will start becoming 746 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 13: very popular and have a lot of value in this 747 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 13: could put moment. 748 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 4: Then there are a lot of zombies out there who 749 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 4: are still clinging to unicorn valuations, but no one's quite 750 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 4: ready to rip up the script and mark it down. 751 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 3: When did these comput moments actually happen? 752 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 13: When they run out of cat We saw this first 753 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 13: end of the dot com bust, right, A lot of companies 754 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 13: had these crazy unicorn valuations because the market was unlimited 755 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 13: and all of a sudden and one fell swoop after 756 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 13: there was that big recession, the dot com bust happened, 757 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 13: and all these companies almost in like a couple month period. 758 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 13: When when could put overnight? And I think we'll see 759 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,959 Speaker 13: this with some of the Genai companies. The market will 760 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 13: just say we don't have money for you for funding. 761 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 13: They won't have a profitable business model, just like how 762 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 13: although the e commerce companies never made a dime, they 763 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 13: lost money in every transaction. 764 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 2: You'll see that business models. 765 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 13: Risks sort of play out and then all of a sudden, 766 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 13: with no more cash being able to raise and the 767 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 13: money being burned, they'll have. 768 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 2: To close the doors. 769 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 4: Where in the generator of AI stack are you talking 770 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 4: about the application layer here rather than the foundational I think. 771 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 13: It's between the foundational models. Those folks have lots of funding, 772 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 13: they have incumbents, unlimited compute power. You have the applications 773 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 13: that are taking advantage of some of the new features 774 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 13: and the new launches that are happening in the gen model, 775 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 13: in the foundational models. 776 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 2: But there are a lot of companies in. 777 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 13: Between that we're using some of these models to do 778 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 13: better videos or better writing tools. That's where you're going 779 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 13: to see a lot of a lot of wreckage. 780 00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 4: Nicely, it's always great to get you straight to a 781 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 4: on the show. As a chan co founder and managing 782 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 4: partner at FPV Ventures when they look ahead for twenty 783 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 4: twenty five. 784 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 3: Of course, Worsley used to work at Google. 785 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,240 Speaker 4: Let's talk about Google for a moment, because it's debuted 786 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 4: a new version of its flagship AI model, Gemini two 787 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 4: point zero, saying it is twice as fast as its 788 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 4: previous version and will power virtual agents that assist users 789 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 4: then the new model can generate images and audio across languages, 790 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 4: can assist during Google searches and coding projects. Meanwhile, Adobe 791 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 4: also rolling out new features, this one it's Ai video product. 792 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 4: Much more slowly though than open AI's rival Sara service, 793 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 4: it's been. 794 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 3: Fueling concerns that it's falling behind. 795 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 4: The company announced the tool two months ago and it 796 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 4: remains in limited testing, only accessible by a handful of creators. Meanwhile, 797 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 4: Sora made available to a wide audience just this week. 798 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 4: We await Adobe's numbers after the bout. We have a 799 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 4: new intra day record being hit for Tesla. Keep an 800 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 4: eye on the stock. We're currently up to two point 801 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 4: seven seven percent, but at one point we're gaining three 802 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 4: and a half percent to hit the first interday record 803 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 4: since twenty twenty one. 804 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 3: The enthusiasm around. 805 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 4: Tesla, of course, since the new President elect Trump was 806 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,720 Speaker 4: announced in early November, being priced in. Meanwhile, let's shift 807 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 4: our gear is to TikTok, another one to focus in 808 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 4: the Trump administration. It's currently offering users hundreds of dollars 809 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 4: to spend time in the app, invite friends to join 810 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 4: and purchase products on TikTok shop. This is all part 811 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 4: of an effort to expand the business as quickly as possible, 812 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 4: ahead of course, a possible ban in the United States. 813 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 4: Bombergs Alexandra Levine brings us this story quite extraordinary, some 814 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 4: of the ways they're enticing new users. 815 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 14: I haven't seen this particular one before, and I think 816 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 14: what's so interesting is you know they've already have They 817 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,479 Speaker 14: already have one hundred and one hundred and seventy million 818 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 14: Americans using the app. That is more than half the 819 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 14: American population. It is more Americans than voted in our 820 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 14: last election. And this shows that they are still trying 821 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 14: to get more, as you said, to just really maximize 822 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 14: before this potential band goes into effect in just over 823 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:00,919 Speaker 14: a month. 824 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 3: So what is the idea? More people? 825 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 4: More the one hundred and seventy million that already use 826 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 4: it will be a bigger outcry if indeed we are 827 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 4: going to see it banned or if they choose not 828 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 4: to divest from White Dance. 829 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 14: Absolutely, the thought is that it's best to just do 830 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 14: as much as they can and grab as much as 831 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 14: they can to both increase the value of the company 832 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 14: and also to make the app more deeply entrenched in 833 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 14: the American Americans everyday life than in the American economy 834 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 14: before this potentially comes to pass. And so what you're 835 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 14: seeing in this offer now when folks are opening up 836 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 14: the app is that they are being offered up to 837 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 14: three hundred and fifty dollars basically to spend in cash 838 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 14: rewards on TikTok Shop, which is still one of the 839 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 14: biggest bets for the company and one of the areas 840 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 14: where they are trying to invest the most. 841 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 4: And they're expanding in Europe as well, anasms in Spain 842 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 4: and Ireland. 843 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 3: But how well is it doing? 844 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 4: Do we have any sense of how many people have 845 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 4: been using TikTok Shop in the US. 846 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 14: So we know that TikTok Shop is why be popular here. 847 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 14: We know that TikTok or Bye Dance, its parent company, 848 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 14: had aimed to get users to spend seventeen point five 849 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 14: billion dollars on the app this year. We know that 850 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 14: they just had triple the Black Friday sales this year 851 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 14: that they had last year, So we know that they're 852 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 14: doing very well as far as outside the US. It 853 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 14: just launched yesterday in Spain, so it's a little bit newer. 854 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 14: But I think what we can say looking at the 855 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 14: US numbers is that all of the regulatory scrutiny really 856 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 14: hasn't done much to dampen interest in the e commerce 857 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 14: armer of the platform. 858 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 4: Throwing everything trying to gain those the US uses Alexandra Levine, 859 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 4: thank you so much. 860 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 3: In San Francisco. 861 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 4: Sticking with shopping paid product reviews online, which merchants can 862 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 4: use to gain a competitive edge, they're under increasing scrutiny. 863 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 4: First it was a government camp down by the FTC 864 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 4: back in August. Now Amazon itself is asking online shoppers 865 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 4: to provide information about product testimonials that they've posted on 866 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 4: TikTok or YouTube or Instagram. Pooemberg Spencer SOPA has done 867 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 4: the deep dive here and what Amazon is basically under 868 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 4: pressure to really work out who's shouldn't be paying such influence. 869 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, the interesting thing here is that they're looking beyond Amazon. 870 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 11: You know, Amazon for years has tried to clamp down 871 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 11: on fake reviews. They've looked at scams where people were 872 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 11: maybe like taking payments on PayPal and exchange for reviews 873 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 11: on Amazon. And what's happening now is they're actually reaching 874 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 11: out to people who've posted reviews on Amazon and asking, hey, 875 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 11: what kind of relationship do you have with this brand 876 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 11: or this product? What kind of videos are you posting 877 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 11: on other sites like TikTok and YouTube and Instagram. And 878 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 11: that's the interesting development here is Amazon looking beyond its 879 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 11: own platform for signs of this kind of review abuse. 880 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 4: And what is the come upons from the abuse and 881 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 4: to whom. 882 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 2: That's a really good question. 883 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 11: We know that the FTC is looking to clamp down 884 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 11: on this, and they're saying they can go, you know, 885 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 11: pursue civil penalties. That rule just took effect earlier this year. 886 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 11: And then that's where like Amazon is still unclear exactly 887 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 11: where it fits in. If they turn a blind eye 888 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 11: to it, that would be difficult for them. I think 889 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 11: they have to show that they have some sort of 890 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 11: proactive mechanisms to try to wead these things out to 891 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 11: avoid culpability, and then you know, maybe help the FTC 892 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 11: go to another target, which could be the actual review 893 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 11: writer and the brand that's in collusion. 894 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 2: But then the other aspect of. 895 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 11: This is just that it's reaching beyond its site, is 896 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 11: just kind of sending a message like be careful about 897 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 11: those campaigns you run on TikTok or YouTube, trying to 898 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 11: sell your Amazon products and bring maybe bring some of 899 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 11: that back to Amazon where they prefer to have it. 900 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, because advertising has been a really strong line of 901 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 4: growth for them. 902 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 11: Yis exactly, and it's never Amazon has never been very 903 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 11: good at discovery. So a problem for them has been 904 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,879 Speaker 11: that brands, if they want to be discovered, they try 905 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,959 Speaker 11: to get discovery discovered on TikTok and YouTube where people 906 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 11: kind of are noodling around. Amazon's always been a place 907 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 11: to spearfish, and so this is this a way for 908 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 11: Amazon to maybe send a warning sign against those kind 909 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 11: of campaigns with influencers on other platforms. 910 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 4: Spencer SOPA figing in on those influencers. 911 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 3: We appreciate it.

Why because well, 917 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,919 Speaker 4: the report's coming out of the information which basically build 918 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 4: on the reporting from our own Mark German that Apple 919 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 4: is all in on building its own AI specific server chips. 920 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 3: Who are they using to do that with Broadcom. 921 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 4: Up five and a half percent, so we see some 922 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 4: big moves, some record highs across the board as well. 923 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 3: Keep a close eye on the likes of. 924 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,439 Speaker 4: Google Today, Alphabet the parent company, and a new record 925 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 4: high so to is Amazon.
