Karpathy leading recursive self-improvement at Anthropic (model improves itself during forward pass). Combined with continual learning (human-like experience learning), could enable 10x yearly model quality gains — new Moore's Law. Composer 2.5 proves 3 weeks RL on proprietary data + massive compute yields Pareto-dominant model.

Anthropic and OpenAI growth is 100% supply-constrained; 9 GW of planned data center power faces 50% protest rates, making energy the critical gating factor for AI monetization.

All AI misses (OpenAI, Anthropic) are 100% due to power supply constraints, not demand; transformers, gas turbines, grid infrastructure backlogs worsening; less than half of announced gigawatt projects actually building due to red tape and supply chain; this structurally benefits hyperscalers who control grid access.

Open-source models (Nvidia Neotron, GLM, etc.) now match closed frontier models for 95% of enterprise tasks. When wrapped with control planes like 8090, they deliver 16.4x cost reduction, making AI sovereignty economically compelling versus renting intelligence from labs that compete with you.

Benioff, Chamath, and Freeberg converge: Chinese models already match US on weaker hardware; restricting H100/Blackwell only accelerates Huawei. Selling chips locks in Nvidia standard, funds US R&D lead, and reduces conflict via interdependence. Chamath: "Let Jensen win. I'd rather he win than Huawei win."

If superintelligence arrives in 10-15 years, all software cash flows become fragile — markets re-rating SaaS to FCF yield (years to payback) while pricing Apple/Microsoft/Meta/Alphabet as monopolistically durable forever; Nvidia anomalously compressed despite quality.

SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic IPOs will bring AGI-capable companies public; their technology will cannibalize software moats, forcing tech sector multiples to converge with non-tech sectors. The three IPOs are the catalyst for this repricing.

Benioff acknowledges 2x sales rerating across sector despite great quarters. Chamath argues low-end SaaS is "finished" while incumbents with negative churn, C-suite relationships, and proprietary data (Salesforce, ServiceNow) will crush when markets demand ROI on $3T AI spend. Freeberg sees horizontal platform shift away from vertical apps.
