I cannot get over how good a job the photographer (Maggie Shannon) did! I’ve also already confirmed she’s back for next year, along with a few new guests…

I am *sorry* but the suggestion that we went from 540k to 1.9M *installed, operational* B300 GPUs is a joke, as is Epoch's data writ large, do not trust this company. 90% confidence? Nonsense!
2025 Q2 APR JUNE B300 540K B200 2.9M H100/H200 4.2M OTHER NVIDIA 670K 2025Q3 JULY TO SEPTEMBER B300 1.9M B200 3.8M H100/H200 4.3M OTHER NVIDIA 670K TPU V7 100K Our AI Chip Sales dataset compiles our estimates of the number of dedicated AI accelerators that have been sold or shipped by major chip designers over time. This is broken down by chip manufacturer, by specific chip model, and by time period (mainly fiscal or calendar quarters). Our methodology varies by designer based on available data. Please refer to the Documentation section for a detailed overview of our methodology for each chip designer. Our figures are estimates, because chip companies do not consistently disclose exact sales, though Nvidia has provided the most informative direct disclosures on total Hopper and Blackwell sales. When feasible, we model our uncertainty in 90% confidence intervals. These can be viewed in the tooltips and in the table view; most of our intervals span a factor of roughly 2x, or ~1.5x in either direction from the median.

To give you some context, Minimax had $53.4 million in revenue from Jan to Sep 2025 and lost $221 million, and the costs of training and inference for its models are only increasing.
www.theinformation.com/articles/two...
MiniMax, led by a former executive of Chinese AI software firm SenseTime, is best known for AI roleplay chat app Talkie and AI video app Hailuo. Both products have users outside of China, including in the U.S. Talkie has ads and in-app purchases, while Hailuo offers paid subscriptions. The two apps have 25.6 million monthly active users combined, and contributed nearly 70% of MiniMax’s $53.4 million revenue for the nine months ended in September. MiniMax burned $211 million during the same nine-month period and had just $363 million in cash at the end of September, enough to last about 15 months without additional fundraising.

ChatGPT's growth plateaued and appears to have started to collapse, this chart is kinda hard to read so it's hard to tell if it's down 22% week over week, or whether on a three month basis traffic is down. Either way, this is not good

To give you some context about how bad this is, Zhipu made $27 million in revenue in the first 6 months of this year and had a net loss of $334 million. This means that Zhipu has less than a year before it runs out of money entirely
www.wheresyoured.at/the-enshitti...
In the first half of this year, Zhipu had a net loss of $334 million on $27 million in revenue, and guess what, 85% of that revenue came from enterprise customers. Meanwhile, MiniMax made $53.4 million in revenue in the first nine months of the year, and burned $211 million to earn it.

Silicon Valley didn’t birth the next big tech firm. It incubated yet another hyperscaler-level parasite, except instead of just spending money on hyperscaler services (and raising money to do so), both Anthropic and OpenAI actively drain the venture capital system as well, as they both burn billions of dollars. By creating something that’s incredibly expensive to run, they naturally create startups more-dependent on the venture capital system, and the venture capital system has no idea what to do other than say “just grow, baby!” Both OpenAI and Anthropic’s models might be getting cheaper on a per-million-token basis, but use more tokens, increasing the cost of inference, which in turn increases the costs of startups doing business, which in turn means OpenAI, Anthropic, and all connected startups lose more money, which increases the burn on venture capital. This is a doom-spiral, one that can only be reversed through the most magical and aggressive turnaround we will have seen in history, and it will have to happen next year, without fail. It won’t.

Get used to the concept of power gating as the lack of power will constrain the endless buildout of the data center and actually make all of these companies more profitable. Less of an arms race.. Don't worry, Nvidia will still have plenty of business, Just less hyperscale intensive... JUST ONE SMALL PROBLEM - SELL THE HOUSES TO WHO, BEN? FUCKING AQUAMAN? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_yz42kfIMM
