    A great perspective on how the AI opportunity extends far beyond software and chipmakers. As the ecosystem grows, infrastructure, supply chains, and specialized manufacturers are becoming just as critical to the industry’s future. Looking beyond the obvious winners is often where the most interesting long-term opportunities emerge.

    Bar for Asian show have fallen this low? No prominent startup CEO interview, nothing? The least that they could do is to bring AliBaba CEO / execs on the model distillation issue that they have with Anthropic but all they have done is bringing low intellect boring money mans with no real insights!
