Brief

Dee Bosa is hosting a live discussion at 12p PT / 3p ET arguing that several tidy AI narratives are fraying: Meta has excess compute, AI-centric firms are still hiring, and open models are getting better. Guests include Daniel T. Niles on market implications, Arak Harazian and Garrett Lord on employment data, and Vipul Ved and Clément Delangue on open models, China, and where value flows as AI gets cheaper.

Why it matters

Meta reportedly has excess compute capacity, changing the story about supply constraints in AI infrastructure.

Key details

  • AI-heavy companies are hiring rather than shrinking, contradicting narratives of broad tech layoffs; discussion live at 12p PT / 3p ET.
  • Open models continue to improve; panelists (@vipulved, @ClementDelangue) will address implications for China, monetization, and cheaper AI, while @DanielTNiles and @arakharazian/@garrettlord cover the AI trade and jobs data.

@DanielTNiles on what this means for the AI trade.

@arakharazian and @garrettlord on the jobs data.

@vipulved and @ClementDelangue on open models, China, and where the money goes if AI keeps getting cheaper.
