NVDA directional thesis

A moat that turns out to be optional drains the premium out of the most expensive name in AI: frontier models now train with zero CUDA, and the pricing power that justifies the valuation erodes as buyers gain real alternatives.

Yeah. And I think trying to share what that means, what an exponential demand means, and that we're still so early and yet the demand for AI compute is overwhelming. I think sharing that was interesting and I think helpful in educating the financial community. The other thing is that there are lots of ways to do this. That the GPU isn't the only way. You've got a TPU, you've got Trainium, you've got us.

AISO Market Calls classifies public statements from public sources. A classification such as long thesis, short thesis, or explicit call describes the content of the public statement and does not prove that the speaker actually entered, exited, or held a position. Market performance shown is calculated from public market data around the source publication or timestamp. It is not investment advice.
