The market’s view has shifted dramatically.

Back in June, Alphabet and Meta were seen as roughly on par, w/only ~$200bn separating them in market value. Just 4 months later, the picture looks completely different – the gap has exploded to nearly $1.8tn. GOOG is now 2x the market cap of META. (HT Goldman) Source: Holger Zschaepitz @Schuldensuehner

🚨 “China is going to win the AI race.” — Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA

When the world’s most valuable tech CEO says the US might lose the AI race, people listen. At the FT’s Future of AI Summit, Huang didn’t hold back: ⚙️ China’s advantage → lower energy costs + looser regulations. ⚡ “Power is free” — local governments are literally subsidizing electricity for data centers (ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent). 🇨🇳 Chinese firms are ramping up domestic AI chips — even if they’re less efficient than NVIDIA’s, they’re cheap to run. 🇺🇸 Meanwhile, the US faces export bans, fragmented AI rules, and what Huang calls “cynicism.” His message? “We need more optimism.” The irony: The US bans NVIDIA’s best chips from China to protect its lead. But by doing so, it might be accelerating China’s self-reliance. Huang’s warning hits hard: regulation, energy policy, and mindset could decide who truly leads in AI — not just who has the best chips. 💬 What do you think — is Huang right? Will policy and power matter more than chips and code in the next phase of the AI race? See the link to FT article >>> https://lnkd.in/eas5VKjj
