A few assumptions behind the charts, which compile figures found in the public domain and published research. Global forecasts use a 52% US share, North American forecasts 97.5%, and ex-China forecasts 68.4%. Where a facility-power conversion is needed, the assumed PUE is 1.20;
Something that blows my mind is the variance of the estimates we're still seeing for data center capacity. We’re already in mid-October and the selected estimates for 2026 US data-center growth still span roughly 10–21 GW on an IT basis. A range more than 2x for the year we’re https://t.co/VL1dm0sQw

Super interesting: "Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 scored 41% in Claude Code and 61% in OpenAI's Codex. It made 28 tool calls at the median in one and 66 in the other." "No model did best in its maker’s own harness" https://t.co/BONmxl9hiE 引用 @chamath:Model Benchmarks Are Worthless How can a model
Love people opening up the convo to debate/learn in public and Matt is great at it. Sharing for broader awareness. I'll leave the chip-based GW forecasts to others, but on power, I've presented several frameworks for thinking about US IT capacity and the very real limits that https://t.co/fTp3ZzdW5

As a structural bond bear, I actually don’t find this recent bear surge in bonds surprising. The yield curve is still flat, nothing is broken. It’s almost expected. But now, the more people talk about it, the more I might become neutral on bonds. https://t.co/uOrymG3qRA
The AI boom is increasingly shifting from parabolic to linear growth. Most investors are totally unprepared for that shift. This week, free on the blog app. https://t.co/EUji9tuxSA https://t.co/qQk0lvaJcR

We are coming off a curious week of economic and financial dualism ... and are now looking at a packed one featuring US inflation data, lots of other global releases, and the IMF-World Bank annual meetings.

I hear all the time that the semis & hyperscalers see plenty of AI-related demand ahead, with no connection to who will pay to meet those lofty expectations. In short, it would require all non-tech companies to bet their entire free cashflow on AI by 2030. Good luck. https://t.co/tllPSskzj8
As this chart (h/t @Mike_Weilandt) shows, periods of CNY depreciation/ weakness have consistently been associated with Chinese export outperformance. (the IMF China team ignored this from 22-24, and as a result missed the jump up in China's surplus) Time to get back to BoP https://t.co/ow8GUgbld2
A chart that says more than a thousand words The acceleration in China's export volume growth clearly followed the RMB's depreciation. Sometimes international economics is simple (even if the PBOC and a few others want to fuzz it up) https://t.co/dY7aZH8yUB
3/ She prefers "smaller, more frequent" moves to avoid bigger hikes later. Her neutral-rate estimate is among the Fed's highest, and she says if she's wrong, it's too low. Also, higher yields are "absolutely not" a substitute for Fed hikes https://t.co/Amj2pqRriQ
2/ Her take: Yes, rate hikes won't open the Strait of Hormuz or immediately slow the data-center buildout. But they might make other firms "think twice" about expanding in this environment, leaving scarce parts or supplies to data centers and easing pressures at the margins.

5/5 Diversification across company names and diversification across investment themes aren't necessarily the same. Concentration risk means half the index is exposed to the AI theme. Half is not. The choice is not necessarily to go all-in on AI or all-in against it. It is
4/5 Concentration is only part of the story. Over the past year, the rolling 6-month correlation (green) has turned slightly negative. Another sign that the headline index conceals two different market experiences. https://t.co/HDiCAqPo3a
This is a funny tweet. Because do people actually associate @pmarca and Thiel with having been prescient about AI? The former I associate with b2b SaaS. The latter with kind of Silicon Valley woo ideas. With Elon it’s more complex, but Brian has a substantive point to make. 引用 @brianchau57:Bay Area
On the flipside, it’s not obvious to me that the doomers have better arguments. But they’re definitely better at arguing, having sharpened the blade on message board the last 15 years.

And its standard fiscal advice would more or less result in a much bigger current account surplus -- i.e. it wants China to rely more on exports (think the advice used to be a 7 pp consolidation over 10ys, though that good downplayed for s-term cyclical reasons in the last A4)
The IMF's standard approach has a hard time with a country with massive savings and a public sector that has real assets as well as large debts -- by all of the IMF's standard models, China's large augmented fiscal deficit should have generated a current account deficit ...
Difficult for the fund to do but I hoped the fund would use this excellent paper to rethink its fiscal advice and move away from the augmented debt/ augmented deficit and treat the LGFVs as financial institutions that might give rise to a bailout cost not as ordinary government
But key points in the essay were asserted not demonstrated -- this one for example "As cheap imports undercut traditional producers and provide low-cost inputs, labour and capital have shifted towards more productive industries" what industries are expanding on a scale able to
