Total capex required to meet OpenAI’s needs could reach ~$130bn by 2027, roughly equal to what consensus forecasts, on average, for each of the top four hyperscalers over the same horizon. In this note, we estimate how much of Nvidia’s datacenter revenue expectations this represents.
Switch 2, Hello Kitty and Demon Slayer have underlined the success of Japan’s global pop culture influence. In this review, Pelham Smithers discusses whether 2025 will be the peak, or if there more to come. In light of the capital limitations faced by Japanese game developers evident at TGS2025, Pelham thinks further consolidation is likely and suggests three likely scenarios.
Report Overview: Our analysis includes total web visits (desktop and mobile) to U.S. and international web domains, mobile app monthly active users (MAUs), daily active users (DAUs), and total time spent (where applicable). Throughout the report, we display Y/Y changes across each of these key metr
Earlier this week, Google Cloud published the 2025 DORA Report, an annual deep dive into “the trends shaping modern software development.” The report included a survey of 5,000 developers globally, and among the findings, 71% are using AI to write new code and 66% are using AI to modify existing code. We continue to see AI code generation as an important driver of cost efficiency for GOOGL, AMZN, and META as well as smaller names in our coverage, and in this brief note, we walk through some o...
As we spend our days and many of our nights helping you understand what is going on in the world of AI infrastructure, we refine continuously our understanding of the cost of AI, combining our understanding of the economics of every step of the supply chain. We crystalized that in a digestible format today. Everything you need to know about a 1GW datacenter on a single slide.
The past several weeks have seen a flurry of news related to OpenAI’s compute needs, including its massive deal with ORCL, its new arrangement with NVDA, and several sets of leaked financials published by The Information, including a new forecast for backup capacity. This has put more focus on potential revenue from Anthropic and other AI customers at AWS and GCP.
We would again point out that 1) price increases of this magnitude are well ahead of MU's implied guide last night and 2) that there is a very strong possibility that limited ability to add capacity in the intermediate term creates a longer term positive cycle for memory (for the first time since 2
Oracle entered a 4.5GW, $300bn, 5-year contract with OpenAI, starting 2027. In our note yesterday, we showed what we know of the deal suggests balanced and straightforward economics, over the life of the contract. Today we extend the analysis: GPUs aren’t scrapped after 5 years, and Oracle may in reality, after these contracts, boost profitability, monetizing fully depreciated assets, much like TSMC at the lagging edge.
