Lucas and Luna break down where that money is going, why it signals a shift from model competition to infrastructure dominance, and what it means for hyperscaler spending. They also discuss how the chip market is reacting, with Broadcom up 13.6% and AMD gaining 4.8% in the p...

Episode 28 of The AI Podcast with Fexingo. AI data centers consume enormous amounts of water for cooling — and it's becoming a real business constraint. Lucas and Luna dig into a single shocking data point: training GPT-4 probably consumed over 2 million liters of fresh water, enough to fill an Olympic swimming pool. They explore where the water goes, why hyperscalers are facing local backlash, an...

Uber's internal AI spending cap lasted just four months before employees blew through it. Lucas and Luna unpack what that tells us about enterprise AI adoption in mid-2026 — the tension between bottom-up experimentation and top-down cost control, why GPU access drives overspend, and how other companies are struggling to keep AI budgets from becoming black holes. They also tie in Broadcom's 13% wee...

Nvidia is no longer just the GPU company. On Monday, they announced AI agent PCs powered by their Grace CPU, going after a $200 billion market long dominated by Intel and AMD.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how a new wave of AI chip startups is chipping away at Nvidia's near-monopoly in the AI hardware market. They discuss the recent $650 million funding round for Groq, a startup whose LPU architecture claims to run inference 10x faster and at a fraction of the cost of Nvidia's H100s. They also look at broader trends: the rise of custom AI silicon from companie...

Lucas and Luna explore why the biggest barrier to enterprise AI adoption in mid-2026 isn't model capability — it's inference cost. Using fresh data from Palantir's 4.3% weekly gain, AMD's 15.2% surge, and Glean's AI budget-cutting pitch, they unpack how companies are hitting a wall with deploying large models at scale. The conversation drills into the economics of AI inference: why per-token costs...

Anthropic just raised sixty-five billion dollars at a valuation approaching a trillion — making it the most valuable private AI company in history. Lucas and Luna break down what this means for public AI stocks, why it explains Nvidia's recent dip and Broadcom's quiet strength, and how investors should think about the shift from training money to inference money. They connect the raise to Super Mi...

Memory is suddenly the most exciting corner of the semiconductor world. On this episode, Lucas and Luna break down why Micron shares soared 26.8 percent in the last five trading days — outpacing every other major chip stock.
