🔥 “We’ve entered the AI virtuous cycle.” — Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA (CNBC)

At the APEC CEO Summit in South Korea, Jensen Huang painted a powerful picture of what’s happening in AI right now — and why growth might only accelerate from here. He explained it simply: “The AIs get better. More people use it. More people use it — it makes more profit. More profit creates more factories. More factories create better AIs. And the cycle repeats.” That’s the AI virtuous cycle — a self-reinforcing loop driving innovation, usage, and investment at record speed. 💡 The result? Smarter models → More adoption → Bigger profits → Massive infrastructure buildouts → Even smarter models. It’s not just hype, it’s momentum. Big Tech is pouring billions into AI infrastructure, fueling this cycle and redefining how fast industries evolve. Source: CNBC

💥 Microsoft’s latest SEC filing quietly revealed a lot about OpenAI’s finances.

According to the numbers, OpenAI lost roughly $11.5 billion last quarter — a figure inferred from Microsoft’s own disclosures. 📊 With a 27% stake in OpenAI, Microsoft recorded a $3.1 billion hit to its net income, pointing to massive operating losses at its AI partner. 💸 The filing also shows Microsoft has now funded $11.6 billion of its $13 billion total commitment to OpenAI — and those losses are now being reflected directly in Microsoft’s earnings under equity accounting rules. 🤔 The takeaway: the AI boom is incredibly expensive, and even the biggest players are feeling the weight of the burn rate.
