I've seen some people say that the math solutions are just pre-IPO "hype." Maybe that's true in the sense that they're a signal to investors that in a lot of industries, OpenAI will be in a position to capture some of the really big gains from this technology.
Theoretical math is largely just an intellectual pursuit. But there's a lot of money to be made in areas like pharma or chip design. And it may make sense for OAI and Anth to get out of the token-selling business and just beat everyone else to commercially viable breakthroughs.
THE REAL IMPLICATION OF THE AI MATH BREAKTHROUGHS I wrote about an element of AI that needs to get more discussion. The best public models will always be far behind what the labs can work with internally. Think about what this means for intelligence-intensive industries. https://t.co/CjZYvil3SQ

One reason why exchange rate adjustment is actually vital to bringing more balance to China's global trade. Domestic demand growth doesn't spill over into demand for European -- other other -- goods anymore. Without rising imports, balance has to come from slower export https://t.co/fkbc3D02qv
The complete argument for why exchange rate adjustment does in fact matter, and why it is the right thing for China's trade partners to ask for can be found here. Europe cares more about whether China is moving ever further away from external balance than about how China
China has a problem with internal balance -- which exchange rate adjustment on its own won't solve. And China has a problem with external balance (an unusually large surplus), which is a structural problem of the kind that exchange rate adjustment on its own would address. To
And to be clear, the immediate issue isn't bringing China's surplus is down -- it is limiting the pace at which it rises. the 07 to 12 RMB appreciation was in fact central to limiting the nominal rise in China's surplus and facilitating adjustment back then 2/2 https://t.co/e2zzeAZSgq

Gigabrains help me out: GS puts required annual hyperscale AI revenue at $526bn, based on average annual capex across 2026 and 2027 and a 20% hyperscaler ROIC. I assume OpenAI and Anthropic have similar ARR, GW capacity and inference share, with $20bn of revenue per blended GW
