Ep 191: Agents Gone Wild: Broadcom’s ASICs and the AI Frontier
Notas do episódio
In this episode, Ben and Jay discuss the launch of their firm's new AI knowledge agent, Atlas, before diving into Broadcom's latest earnings and the growing complexity of modeling the custom ASIC market. They debate the semiconductor supply chain bottleneck, with Ben arguing that constraints will peak in 2027 before massive new capacity arrives in 2028, while Jay cautions that this incoming oversupply could shift pricing power and lower margins. Finally, they analyze Nvidia's acquisition of Hugging Face and explore the future of AI models, agreeing that while open and closed models will coexist, closed "frontier" models remain essential for enterprise cybersecurity and defending against rogue actors.
