Nvidia’s open-source Nemotron model is competitive with closed models, and as enterprises shift to sovereign AI using their own hardware, Nvidia benefits from selling full-stack solutions (hardware + open-source models) and a more diverse chip buyer ecosystem, reducing dependency on a few hyperscalers.

Amazon executed 100,000 layoffs (mostly efficiency/UPS related) while maintaining/growing output. JCal calls it his "number one pick." This is the "Efficiency" trade.

Mark Zuckerberg’s 6,500-word AI manifesto is a strategic pivot that reframes Meta’s AI push as an open, abundance-driven public good. By promising free personal agents, video/design tools, and business-building features across Instagram and WhatsApp, Meta will deepen user engagement and dramatically increase ad targeting signals. This push—combined with a masterful PR campaign to overcome data-center opposition—represents the most thoughtful and shareholder-friendly version of Zuckerberg in the company’s history.

Going forward, 48% of S&P earnings growth will come from the semiconductor index, providing clear visibility on profits. Capex is not going to slow, and Google will reaffirm and potentially raise its spending plans, keeping the fundamental story intact.
