OPENAI directional thesis

Chamath stacks OpenAI's consumer business at $3-4T and its enterprise/refocus path at another $2-3T to argue for a $7-9T eventual cap, an absolute-bullish valuation call. The Ventuals vntl:OPENAI perp prices OpenAI's implied valuation directly, so going long expresses exactly that re-rate rather than a relative race against Anthropic.

“If we allocate more resources and just double down and crush consumer, that's probably three or four trillion of enterprise value. And then if we slowly refocus the company... we can probably capture two or three trillion there. And now all of a sudden, you can paint a picture for a $7, 8, 9 trillion market cap in the fullness of time”

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.
