$40 BILLION AI Company JUST went INSOLVENT | The AI Bubble.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
the AI bubble. We would be in quite the
[music] recession if it were not for AI.
I think AI completely saved the stock
market. It's kind of like Paul investing
$100 in John, who invests $100 in Bob,
who invests $100 in Paul.
>> The AI bubble popping. You might have
been watching your stocks today and
wondering [music] that
>> the threat of a bubble.
>> An AI bubble burst.
>> Reality check could be coming for AI
valuations. [music]
>> Another day of tech. What if I told you
a $25 trillion debt bubble was about to
burst? And even worse that every
investor in the world owns these stocks.
>> A massive artificial intelligence
company just released a memo in the
background for nobody to see that
suggests they face near certain
insolveny unless they get bailed out
from other players in the AI space. In
this video, we're going to break down
exactly what was just revealed in this
filing. We're going to talk about the
circular nature of artificial
intelligence, which we've talked about
before, but we're going to update it
with this filing that was just released.
We're also going to link it to what's
going on with Nvidia. Nvidia just
announced massively more efficient
Reuben chips. And we also have a lot to
say about the high bandwidth memory
cycle which is related to Reuben but
also makes the very problem about
potential AI insolveny
worse. Then we'll finish by talking
about what just happened with Elon Musk
because he told us that one thing was
false and it only turned out to be
substantially more true than he let on.
[laughter] We'll talk about all of it in
this video. So hey everyone, me Kevin
here. First things first, we got to
analyze the cycle. The coreweave cycle.
Yes, Coreweave just released an 8K and
Coreweave is really interesting because
as we know Coreweave, much like other AI
data center plays, whether it's iron,
NBS, Oracle, whatever we know that
companies like Cororeweave receive
investor money, money from people who,
you know, want to make money from
artificial intelligence. Coreweave goes
and buys artificial intelligence chips
like Nvidia chips or CPUs from AMD or
otherwise uh which of course are reliant
heavily even more so now thanks to an
increase in inference demand in high
bandwidth memory and then of course time
goes on because everybody knows
construction and a clock are basically
synonymous because it always takes
longer than we expect. Then we get data
centers and hopefully eventually we get
money and then hopefully eventually we
could repeat the cycle. This is, you
know, kind of just a happy data center
cycle. It really shouldn't even be
called the corewave cycle, but there's a
little bit of a problem. See, this chart
right here is the chart of Oracle's
credit default swaps, which a lot of
people track Oracle because they see it
as a safer version of Coreeave. And so,
if Oracle is sneezing, then Cororeweave
must really be having problems. But
anyway, back when we had this spike over
here in the price of credit default
swaps, basically insurance against the
collapse of Oracle, we were at the
highest level since 2008. Those have
since spiked up to about 155, settling
down into the low 140s, but then
recently ticking up again. And I suspect
they'll tick up even more tomorrow. Why?
Because of a filing that just came out
from Coree. And it's not my favorite
kind of filing. These AKs from
Cororeweave are pretty glorious at
telling us that there's probably a fire
cooking somewhere and nobody wants to
talk about it right now. Everybody's
just closing doors around the house and
like, "Well, no smoking here. What are
you talking about? We're good.
[laughter]
We're not good." Okay, so take a look at
this entry into a material definitive
agreement. Basically, coreweave here is
telling you, "Hey y'all, we got some
debt. Uh we might have a lot of debt.
our in fact our weighted you know
average interest is somewhere around
10%. So we spend a massive amount of
money on interest. We'll actually go
through the financials in just a moment.
Uh and we just want to let everybody
know that this this new set of debt that
we entered into in the summer of 2025
called our DT [music] uh or DDTL oo 30
credit agreement uh is actually now
being revised. And here's how we're
revising that agreement. So we got
together with all these different banks
including MUFG and US banks and we
decided that you know what we're going
to actually reduce and change a few
things. The first thing that we're going
to do is we're going to reduce the
minimum cash that we need to or are
required to have on hand to just $100
million. In other words, we need the
cash for other things. You'll see in
just a moment what those other things
are, but they're basically saying we
need some more cash. Now, they're
arguing that this is just to sort of
align with the timing of deliveries
because there have been some
construction delays. But what's
interesting is we actually go a little
deeper here. We're also now going to
postpone the initial testing date of the
DSCR, which is basically a ratio that
says, "Hey, like how much money are you
guys making compared to how much debt
you have?" And the banks are basically
saying, "Hey, you know what? Um, we're
just going to go monkey no evil until
Halloween of 2027. Okay, we just don't
even want to look at the financials. So,
here's another 18 months. Go f off.
Please just keep paying the bills.
Please, please. We'll we trust you, bro.
That's essentially what the banks are
saying here on billions of dollars, mind
you. Uh, got to keep the Ponzi going
somehow. But anyway, then they're also
going to postpone their initial testing.
So, like, hey, you know, before we go
like do a deep dive on these numbers,
can we just like see how many of your
contracts you're actually fulfilling?
So, rather than dividing like total
revenue and and debt into each other to
get a DSCR, they're going, "Hey, uh, how
how many of your contracts are actually
working out?" And the bankers are
basically saying, "Uh, yeah, you know
what? Before we even take a look at your
contracts, why don't we delay that to
February [clears throat]
28th? We're just going to close our eyes
on that one, too." And if for whatever
reason uh we end up looking on February
28th and if for whatever reason you all
still suck and you all still can't get
your act together,
you know, we'll just we'll just turn a
blind eye to any equity partner giving
you guys a money injection. And if they
inject money, we'll just say monkeys see
no evil. That's that's just what we'll
say, folks. They literally wrote it.
They wrote it right here. The First
Amendment also permits, you can't make
this up, an unlimited number of equity
cures for any failure to satisfy the
debt service coverage ratio and contract
realization ratio covenants prior to
October 2026.
[laughter] So, in other words, as long
as Daddy Jensen Hong from Nvidia comes
around and gives you a bailout, we don't
give 2 F that you're violating the
covenants of the billions of dollars of
debt we lent you cuz Daddy Jensen's
bailing you out. in doing this to some
extent some people actually look at this
with a really bearish lens and they're
like oh my gosh even the bankers realize
if they don't put up the sort of balloon
and like hey Jensen can you get ready to
bail us out the bankers might not care
[laughter]
that's but that's a jaded view you know
why do we want to be really jaded about
an unlimited right to cure violations in
your loan terms you know that it'd be
crazy to be jaded about that I mean come
on Nvidia has basically agreed to buy
6.3 billion dollar of Cororeweave's
unused data center capacity. So like if
if Nvidia has this agreement to buy $6.3
billion of unused data center capacity,
which Core has already asked Nvidia to
do by the way on some of their unused
data center capacity, which is odd
because it's sort of like how does
Cororeef have unused data center
capacity and they're still building a
bunch. More on what they're building in
just a moment. Uh spoiler alert, like
30% of their assets are not even built
yet. That's a lot of money. That's like
$6.9 billion of money. that's just sort
of like in the construction process
that's not going anywhere. But but yeah,
I mean like to actually get Nvidia to
fulfill the rest of the purchases,
Cororeef has to finish building. See,
that's all has to do with this material
services agreement which I have on the
screenshot right here. This is the
agreement uh an agreement that was made
on April 10th for an initial value of
$6.3 billion. It's basically Nvidia
guaranteeing that they'll buy unused
compute from Coree to try to help get
Coree a head start. So, Daddy Jensen's
already bailing them out on one hand
once the stuff is built, but now the
bankers are basically saying, "Hey, uh,
we know Daddy Jensen's going to bail you
out once your stuff is built. Can you
also get Daddy Jensen to maybe like
start hinting that he might have to bail
you out before the stuff is built cuz
you guys are falling behind?"
Yeah, that's not good. Now, now I know a
lot of us are like, "Bar Kevin, SanDisk
and and Micron are going to the moon."
Correct. They are. and their numbers are
great. We've done a lot of analysis on
them in the Meet Kevin membership. You
could see that in the stocks tab in the
courses. Uh we did a analysis on Bloom
Energy this morning as well, which was
phenomenal. They've actually got a
really good balance sheet. This is it.
And you know, when you jump in over on
the right side, you can see all of our
different analysis, whether it's on uh
Coreweave or we did SanDisk or Micron or
whatever. I mean, Sandis frankly has a
fortress fortress balance sheet and
massive cash flow. But more on them in
just a moment. Like I I know people like
Kevin Kevin, how how could this be bad?
Like memory is is doing so well. Okay,
spoiler alert. There's there's something
called a cycle and it is all built out
via innings. I'm going to explain all of
this on the screen in just a moment, but
I'll I'll point out exactly where we are
and how this works in just a moment. But
first, we have to understand the actual
numbers at Coref because I want you to
actually see what they're facing. See,
versus what they're telling us. Coref is
telling us, guys, everything is fine.
I'm going to pull it up here. We're only
blaming the weather. In their last
earnings call, if you went through their
last earnings call, you'd see that
they're just blaming the weather. It
rained a lot in Texas. And because of
that, here we go. We got a roughly, you
know, heavy rains and winds caused a
roughly 60-day delay in a city north of
Dallas, preventing contractors from
pouring concrete. So, hey, come on,
guys. We just need a little bit more
time and everything will be fine. That's
the idea here. As Cory was trying to
tell us, everything's fine. But when we
actually look at their financials, we
start facing,
let's just say, some red flags. So,
first that we should look at right here
is their cash flow statement. And what
we're going to find is that their free
cash flow is $1.6 billion per quarter.
If you subtract this out and divide it
by three, you get the quarterly number
since it's 9month. Basically, we are
bleeding $500 million every single
month. $500 million every month. 4.75
billion over 9 months. And these are
based on September financials. Now, if
you actually subtract out depreciation
off of this, you'd be losing another
$167
million per month. So, we're blowing a
lot of freaking money here. Obviously,
the cash flow situation sucks. But where
do we sit in a debt situation? Well,
that doesn't look good either. See, when
we look at their cash flows, we can see
that they've raised $7.5 billion of
debt. And their repayments are somewhere
around 2.9. So, so their net borrowings
here were just about $4.75 or so, which
happens to be exactly what they need
over a 9-month period. So, they're
borrowing because they need to. And then
they had IPO proceeds in there as well.
Fine, great. But what's the problem
here? The problem is, to me, it's really
a gamble on steroids. You know, it's not
like house hack in my opinion. This is
simple real estate where you're buying
homes like we don't have any debt on our
houses or our land or whatever because
we got a little land we're developing as
well. We're not buying homes on 30-year
mortgages even, right? But let's say we
were let's say we were buying houses in
desirable areas people could buy up and
live in and then rent out, right? Like
so we buy them, we fix them up, rent
them out, people live in them. Great.
30-year mortgage sustainable debt,
right? They're buying chips in a desert.
They're not even able to rent them out
right now because 30% of their assets
are sitting unused and they're not using
30-year fixed rate mortgages. They're
using very short-term debt. In fact,
$1.667
billion that they owe is due right here
in just $2.25 years. It's weird to say
that March of 2028 is only in 2 and a/4
years, but they have a 15% loan due in
March of 2028 at $1.6 billion. They got
another $5 billion right here due in
August of 2023. These are massive
numbers. That's just in four and a half
years. And they have to pay off all $14
billion of their debt in a 5-year
window. Their blended rate, their
blended interest rate is 10%.
So, no wonder they're blowing money.
This is a problem. Now, how much cash do
they actually have to be able to pay
this debt? And this is where you should
get nervous. So just like signpost for a
moment, Cororeweave is saying, "Daddy
Jensen, please bail us out. We have a
problem or we're going to." And they're
going to their bankers because they're
out of freaking money. They're
insolvent. Okay. Now, I just showed you
all the debt they have, how they're
financing more debt because they're
spending all this money and they got a
lot of debt coming due within the next 5
years. Okay. This is all going to, by
the way, relate to XAI, Jensen's Reuben
chips, and high bandwidth memory. All
right, we got to build. We got to
explain this all properly. People are
like, "Kevin, why can't you do this in a
twominut short video?" And I'm like,
"I'm sorry. I It's It's dense. It's a
lot." But when you look at the actual
facts, you're like, "Damn, I understand
why it takes a hot minute to explain it
all, cuz otherwise I'LL FALL ASLEEP. I
NEED SOMEBODY TO WAKE ME UP WHILE WE
TALK ABOUT THIS CRAP." BUT IT'S ALSO
really interesting. I mean, at least in
my opinion. I don't know, maybe I'm just
nerding out about this, but let's look
at their balance sheet, right? So, they
got a lot of bills to pay. We know that.
But the question is, how much money do
they have over the next year? I mean, I
started the video out by saying they're
essentially insolvent within the next 7
months. Why would I say that? Ah, okay.
Well, let's just use their own financial
filings to show you why I would say
that. Please, Cororeweave, don't sue me,
bro. So, current liabilities,
bills that they have on their desk. So
on their desk right now, they have bills
that they have to pay of $7.9 billion.
Okay? So imagine you had, you know, I'll
just use millions for an example.
Imagine you had $7.9 million sitting on
your desk right now in bills. And then I
told you you have another $10 million,
in their case, $10 billion of debt to
pay over, you know, the next five years.
Okay? You'd probably be like, "Oh my
gosh, Kevin, [laughter]
dude, what did I get myself into?" A and
then of course the the follow-up would
be like, "But Kevin, how much cash do I
got?" You know, if I if I got to pay
$7.9 billion or million dollars in my
case of debt, you know, how much cash do
I got to pay it all? I I can probably
pay it all with cash, right? No.
No.
>> No. [laughter]
Uh they only have $3.5 billion of cash
and accounts receivable. That's assuming
they get paid. Okay. assuming they
actually get paid on all their
receivables, which a lot of these
companies are delaying when they're
paying Coreweave, just part of the
agreements like Microsoft and all these
companies. They they get to negotiate
longer payment windows. So hopefully
that cash shows up for Cororeef. I was
generous and I assumed that they have
$3.5 billion of cash by adding those two
things together. And restricted cash is
really cash that's already spent likely
on new products and stuff, right? So
basically, if they're burning 500
million per month and they have or 500
Yeah. 500 million per month and they
have 3.5 billion of cash, they first of
all only have about 50 cents on the
dollar of all the bills that they have
to pay. That's a problem. You're way
upside down. You're sweating bullets.
And if I divide out 3.5 billion of cash
by their cash flow, you know that 500
mil burn, I've got seven months. That
means by April, given that this is a
September filing, by April, I'm out of
money. Well, here we are in January
begging the banks to not look at our
numbers and please enable Daddy Jensen
to bail us out. Like this, this novel is
writing itself. They are freaking
bankrupt basically. They're insolvent. I
shouldn't say they're bankrupt. They're
insolvent right now. Now, what could
make it worse or better? I mean, isn't
it good that we have new chips from, you
know, Jensen, Daddy Jensen coming out?
No. That could actually make it worse.
I'm going to explain that in just a
moment. It gets ridiculous here. But,
but first, understand that this is a
company as well that has about 35% of
their business, I said 30% earlier, it's
actually about 35% of their business
sitting idle. Now, why? Well, because a
lot of this is sitting as construction
in progress. of that they have about
$2.5 billion in acred purchases, part of
their their expenses, their liabilities,
right? But they just haven't been able
to turn on yet. So people say, "Oh,
magically as soon as they turn this 35%
of the business on, they'll make a
oodles and boodles and oodles of money."
But the problem with that is if you look
at the business and you actually take
the depreciation expenses, they don't
make money and they spend way more money
even when you add that depreciation back
in. The cash flow statement shows us
that because the cash flow statement
already adjusts for net income. So if
you jump over here, you take that net
loss of $715 million, add back in
depreciation, and then you go, "Oh,
great. They actually got 1.5 billion in
cash. Yeah, but they're spending 6.2. So
even if you get that next 35% up and
running and you go, you know, increase
your revenues by 35%. So maybe add, I
don't know, another another chunk of
revenue here. Even if you doubled that,
even if you doubled the net cash
provided by operating activities, they'd
still be upside down and they'd still
have massive debts coming due within the
next 5 years. They still have massive
debt obligations due in the next year
and a half, which is exactly why the
bankers are like, "Oh my gosh, we have
to not only bail out their revenues,
which Nvidia is already doing. We have
to bail them out during the construction
phase because they're literally
complaining about heavy rains and winds
delaying their projects, which might be
true, but everybody knows construction
gets delayed. The only people who
about it are people who got themselves
too deep into their eyeballs in debt and
they have no choice but to complain
about it to beg other people and point
the finger at other people. Okay. All
right. Enough of that for a moment.
Let's understand one last thing about
their financials and then let's get into
the future here. So the last thing I
want to show you about their financials
is just how much money every single
month goes to interest of their interest
expense in a quarter. They've got about
$310 million net going to interest,
which means a hundred million dollars,
more than a million dollars every single
day are going to debt, which sucks. So,
what's the big bet here? The bet here is
obvious. Get the servers online.
Everything will be fine. We're just
doing this paperwork to cushy over this
big cash liquidity squeeze we have.
Hence, this credit default swipe spike
that we've had. credit default swap
spike there. Let's get the words right.
Okay, that's why we've had this big
spike over at Oracle. You're seeing
similar things at Core as well. I'm
using Oracle just to show what's called
contagion. When all of a sudden you have
an issue at Coreweave, that contagion
shows up at Oracle as well because
Oracle is trying to compete with
Cororeweave. And if Corwe is going to go
bust, you're going to liquidate a lot of
those assets at bargain basement prices,
which then lowers potentially the actual
asset value of those chips at companies
like Iron and Bis and Oracle. Hence,
Contagion. Now, how is Daddy Jensen
already trying to bail out the cycle?
And what are these new chips that he's
been talking about?
Well, it turns out XAI just raised a
series E fund raise of $20 billion.
Now, why this is very interesting is
because when there were rumors about the
Elon Musk raising $15 billion and
everybody's like, "Oh, they must be out
of money." Elon Musk says, "Oh, that's
false."
But that's usually what he does. In
fact, I talked about it on the channel.
I go, Elon's going to say it's false and
then he's going to come out and be like,
uh, it was actually $16 billion. So,
[laughter] so jokes's on you. We
actually needed more money. [laughter]
And, and then it's like, wait, but who's
the joke actually on? Because Reuters
was correct. You were raising money.
Elon denied it was a $10 billion round.
Elon denied it was a $15 billion round.
And now they're cheering going,
[laughter] "Guys, everybody thought we
were raising 15. We actually managed to
raise $20 million and we were able to do
it with with Nvidia as a strategic
investor." Ah, yes, the famous Nvidia
strategic investor. Yes, this is how
venture capital and private equity
markets work. Okay, what people do is
you get somebody like imagine this.
Okay, imagine imagine Kathy Wood bestows
her holy arms uh on and wings on House
Hack and says, "I'm joining the board
and I will take a position in the
company." Doesn't disclose how much it
is just like Nvidia and then we're going
to raise money at $10 a share, you know,
10x what we raised money at previously
cuz Kathy is the strategic investor. And
then everybody's like, "Kathy has a
5year time horizon. Let's get in." You
know, it's kind of like that except it's
Nvidia as a strategic investor. Now,
don't get me wrong, I love Kathy. You
know, this isn't to make fun of Kathy.
I'm just saying you take a big name and
you anchor their name with a higher
round and that's how companies get
valuations that grow and grow and grow
and grow. You just get strategic
investors. So, what does that enable?
Well, Elon Musk, we know, is burning
cash hand over fist. And so remember the
beginning of the core reef cycle, it's
exactly the same for XA. They're
expected to burn $1 13 billion this
year. So really what they did is they
just fundraised. Well, that was actually
last year because we're in 26 now. So
$13 billion last year that might grow
this year, how much they actually burn.
And so what they really did is they just
financed enough burn for this year. So
they have enough money to get through
this year, right? But remember the
beginning of the cycle. I want you to
remember how this cycle works and then
we're going to show you the innings of
the AI wave. All right, so here's how
this works. The way this works is
investors put money in. Okay, that could
be you buying Core Weef stock or NBIS or
Oracle or or Core or whatever you want,
right? That's you buying stock. That's
you know senior retired seniors and
their hedge funds or whatever throwing
money into this XAI round because
everything Elon touches turns to gold.
So, you know, throwing money in. As long
as that money keeps coming in, we can
keep buying Nvidia chips and we can keep
buying HBM. Time passes, the data
centers eventually get built and then
hopefully we get money out in the
application layer. That's how the cycle
works. Now, remember the unlimited
equity cures part. All of this works and
Nvidia will probably keep bailing out
Coreweave
at some point. no guarantee that they
will as long as money keeps coming into
the cycle. So as long as the cycle keeps
going, Nvidia has the capacity to bail
out cororeweave. As soon as Nvidia
doesn't bail out cororeweave, the
bankers tighten the covenants,
cororeweave goes bankrupt, chip prices
collapse, memory prices collapse, data
center values collapse, and money stops
coming in. The cycle stops very quickly.
Okay, we already know that. It's just
we're starting to see some early warning
signs. Oh, is this like so bearish that
you have to go run out and sell
everything? Well, no. Because see, high
bandwidth memory is technically now sold
out through 2026.
Now, why is high bandwidth memory so
incredible? Well, a lot of it has to do
with our current needs for inference.
And that's where Nvidia has this like
gorgeous video right here where they
showcase what's inside of these racks.
Each of these being a little drawer. And
inside you see the various different
component chips. And all of these
various different component chips carry
what? Memory. See memory. DDR5. Look at
that. M juicy memory. That's just the
CPU, right? What about the GPU? We're
going to have memory over here. See,
there it is. High bandwidth memory four,
right? Uh
every chip. So when they make these
chips, we need high bandwidth memory.
Now who's buying all this memory? A lot
of it being the hyperscalers, Microsoft,
Meta, Amazon, Google, and obviously now
Elon's XAI. So we're obviously not at
peak cycle because people keep buying
these chips,
but we are somewhere on a cycle. And see
rising high bandwidth memory costs,
which are really good for companies like
uh uh what do we got here? SanDisk, you
know, when this is when we went through
their financials. We go through
fundamental analysis like every single
day in the course member liveream.
Remember, you can get lifetime access by
going to meet kekev.com and getting that
lifetime access uh to to this
fundamental analysis we do every single
day. And even if you don't watch it, you
could just click on our little tabs and
look at my analysis that I've done. And
I add to it every day the market is
open. But look at this good cash balance
sheet. Look at these numbers over here.
29.7%
margins. Revenues growing 22%. But
listen to this. Their operating income
uh is four times the annualized Q3 EPS
expectations. So they're exploding right
now relative to what Wall Street even
understands. Uh it's remarkable. Now
they've gotten a little bit puffy. Okay.
At 210, they were about 10% below what I
thought would be a fair value for a high
bandwidth memory company like Sandis.
The thing is because of these sellout
announcements, they actually moon way
past that. Why? Because of momentum. So
now we've gone to the point where we're,
you know, we're certainly overvalued.
We're trading at a three peg now, which
is a bit more expensive than where it
should be. should probably be somewhere
around 15 20% lower. So there will be
better entries in the future for stocks
like this. And you know we did that
analysis all the way back uh I mean at
this point it was like months ago. But
what matters now is where do we sit in
the broader cycle? Because remember
rising HBM costs isn't actually great
for the entire cycle. Why? Because it
reduces margins at AI companies. you
know, the margins that are already tight
on even uh coreweave installations or
Oracle installations get even more tight
when HBM memory goes to the moon in
terms of pricing. And that's where I
introduce what I call the AI capex
cycle. Okay, AI capex cycle. And where
do we sit today? Well, let's analyze
this together. So, my opinion is that
and I think we all agree this all
started with the GPT moment. Okay,
that's a basic one. That's like the
first inning of the cycle. Then we get
this infrastructure explosion.
Where we tend to start curving out is
usually in high bandwidth memory. High
bandwidth memory is a lagging indicator.
It is the last phase of the cycle to
tend to bubble. That's why we're seeing
the bubbling now. Now, that doesn't mean
we're at the end. We're at game over
stage. In fact, I would argue we're
probably over here at like maybe here,
the seventh inning. So, that means
there's still some room to go in this AI
capex movement. You know, JP Morgan says
the biggest mistake somebody could make
right now is sitting out the AI boom
that's coming, not being worried about
the bubble. Maybe they're right. Maybe
they're just shilling their book. I
don't know. But what always happens in
history is that capital expenditures
plummet and there's an infrastructure
crash once we get to an over supply
that's going to take out a lot of
companies in the application level as
well because if this happens the red
line happens we'll see some kind of
recessionary hit simultaneously which
will take out a lot of unprofitable
technology companies. This is normal.
Now that debris will actually pave the
way for the artificial intelligence
survivors to actually start making
money. And now you stop allocating money
to all the junk companies and you
allocate money to the survivors. That's
the long-term future that we really all
benefit from. And I believe that the AI
application era is actually still right
here. were really early innings like
maybe second inning of that application
level. Now Nvidia and Jensen suggests
right now that we are seeing such
massive benefits in Reuben technology.
He just had a big presser at CES where
he talks about Reubin should reduce the
cost of tokens by 10x. But I want you to
think about that for a moment. If you
reduce the cost of tokens by 10x, who
does that actually cost money, right?
Like, who loses on that bet? Well, it's
probably Coreweave. Now, I'm not saying
this because I've got like a bare
position on Coreweave. I don't have a
bare position on Coree. I don't really
care. Like, if you're in Coree, I'm not
trying to dump on Cororeweave. Okay. The
point is Reuben chips that cost 10x less
per uh chip basically or per token
rather and need four times fewer GPUs to
train parts of models. This is per
Jensen. What you're really doing is
you're saying all of that money that you
just spent on capex up here at this top
of the cycle may have been wasted on
those older chips because the next
generation chips are going to kick your
butt. Notice how even after that seventh
inning though, because remember if I
think we're right here at the seventh
inning, you still have HBM that's going
to keep going and memeing for a hot
minute probably because these Reubens
are going to need a lot of high
bandwidth memory. But the point is more
chip innovation is actually mega
deflationary for rental rates from
Coree. This is why Nvidia can actually
laugh its way to the bank.
any lowering of energy costs or
increases in efficiency make Nvidia sell
more chips even to people they've
already sold chips to because they're
like, "Hey, why are you using those old
chips? They're costing you more money.
You may as well use these new chips that
we have." So really, Nvidia is like
saying, "Hey, get with the program here.
Buy all the new junk and you too will be
good." Okay, great. That's really bad
though for again Cororeweave because if
Cororeweave invested in all the H100s or
early Blackwell chips, well then you got
some big problems. You got some big
pooper dupers coming and nobody wants a
big poopy dupy. Now, the hope is that
LLMs and AI keep progressing and as a
result of the continued progress, we'll
continue to need even the old
technology, the 81 H100s or older chips
that are still being used today. And
that's a great hope as long as investors
are patient with the profitability cycle
and obviously until we get to peak. So
my take, we're probably in the seventh
inning, late cycle of the LLM stage, but
we're actually quite early on the
application era. This is where I get
excited when Nvidia tells us they're
opensourcing Alpameo 1, their
self-driving thinking and reasoning
model. I actually think that their the
Nvidia FSD, I'm going to call it, just
full self-driving just to make it a
little bit more, you know, palatable or
understandable or comparable to Tesla
here. I actually think it is their most
undervalued asset. I actually think that
almost alone once they transition from
89% of their revenues is coming from
GPUs, but instead they start moving to
like full self-driving licensing or
whatever, especially since they they
take in all sorts of traditional
sensors, LAR sensors as well as vision
based sensors. The fact that their
models consolidate all of that, I think
makes them one of the most or makes this
one of the most underappreciated assets
at Nvidia. And so I actually think not
only is Nvidia playing the
infrastructure buildout game, but
they're playing the application era. Now
that's exactly why in my opinion they
bought Grock, not to be confused with
Grock, you know, the Twitter or X AI
bot, but rather the language processing
unit model company. That company that
makes or designs those chips is now
bought by has been bought by Nvidia for
or you know roughly licensed out for $20
billion. It's technically not a complete
buyout, but it's practically that. Uh we
made a separate video on that. But
anyway, Nvidia is riding both of these
curves. Nvidia will be a survivor when
this crash comes. We all know that capex
plummet is coming. It's a red flag where
Coreweave is showing us, you know, where
things sit right now. I mean, Amazon's
seeing it as well. People at Amazon are
complaining that Amazon relies on
anthropic LLMs too much and they should
have their own proprietary LLMs. But I
think that's because Amazon knows you
don't want to blow all your money on
LLMs because they're going to be a
commodity. And as soon as this cycle
peaks out, it's the actual productive
productive uses of AI that are going to
make people real money. Now, what's my
bias in all of this? Just to be clear,
because I don't have like calls or
shorts on like Nvidia or Coreweave or
whatever. My biases in all of this is I
am seeing the real profits from our
application layer. Now, we just raised
over $10 million for our startup in just
the last 3 weeks, which is insane the
amount of that's come in because, you
know, people want to invest in that next
cycle. Like these were our fundrais
stats for the last, you know, threeish
months here. And, uh, you could see it
on screen here. 14 October, 1 17
November. About 99% of this is, uh,
fundraising. Uh, then we announced the
closing of the fund raise uh, in
December, which, you know, we're we're
still closing it out. like we we stopped
telling people it's open but but like
people applied even as of you know
December 31st and they have to get
approved by a broker dealer like there's
a lot of SEC compliance involved and
stuff so people are still getting their
approvement emails and that's how we've
gotten like $3.4 additional million
dollars coming in in January and what
we're doing is we're building on that
application layer which I think is the
future. I got to update the website
because, you know, this has already been
released. Uh we released this as
promised in December. But the app's
already out, which is great. And now
we're in the improvement phase and the
the new iteration phase, which is really
exciting. But people are buying this and
uh they're buying the lifetime access to
it, which everybody keeps telling me is
a bad idea, that I should be doing
monthly recurring revenue, but for now,
you can still get lifetime access to it.
Uh and you can get that at houseack.com
or reinvest.co. But that's my bias in it
is real estate SAS. You can read more
about it by going to houseack.com. I
think it's a net worth sniping tool. You
know, I did a video the other day where
I saw a deal that was like model match
listed for $500,000
less
uh than what a comp was listed for. Same
exact model. And I'm like, this is
incredible. You're literally sniping net
worth with this kind of AI. Now,
obviously, you got to go renovate it and
there's work to do and there's risk with
every investment, but we're very excited
about that application error because we
think even if AI gets no better than it
is today, the AI boom can keep going. I
just think it shifts away from that
hardware stack and goes straight into
software. That's my opinion. I'm just
being transparent about the journey. If
