这种回报提升部分来自运营成本节省，但更重要的是将大型推荐系统从CPU迁移到GPU后，这些公司 实现了巨大的效率提升，推动了收入增长的加速。 Baker强调，无论回报来源如何，关键事实是ROI确实为正。他还观察到，每家大型互联网公司内部， 负责创造收入的部门都在激烈争夺GPU资源。因为这是一个简单的线性关系：更多的GPU意味着更多 的收入。 企业正在兑现AI红利 Baker特别强调，2024年第三季度成为一个重要分水岭。这是科技行业之外的财富500强公司首次给出AI 驱动业绩提升的具体量化案例。 货运代理公司C.H. Robinson的股价在财报发布后上涨约20%，原因正是AI带来的生产力提升。 该公司的核心业务之一是为货运需求报价。过去，处理一个询价需要15到45分钟，且只能响应60%的入 站请求。 资深科技投资人Gavin Baker表示大型GPU采购方的公开财报显示，AI已经明确赚钱。 12月9日，科技投资大佬Gavin Baker接受播客采访时表示，在GPU上投入最大的公司都是上市公司，通 过计算这些公司的财报可以发现，在大规模GPU投入后，这些公司的投资资本回报率（ROIC）实际上 高于投入前的水平。 ...

Gavin Baker认为太空数据中心将成为未来三到四年最重要的技术突破。 12月9日，资深科技投资者Gavin Baker在最新播客访谈中阐述，从第一性原理来看，太空数据中心在各 个方面都优于地球上的数据中心。 在能源方面，卫星可以通过轨道设计保持24小时日照，太阳光强度比地球表面高30%，这使得太空的总 辐照量达到地球的六倍。更重要的是，由于持续供电，系统无需配置电池，这在地面数据中心中占据巨 大成本。因此，太阳系中成本最低的能源实际上是太空太阳能。 冷却系统在地面数据中心中占据机架重量和体积的大部分，涉及复杂的暖通空调系统、冷却分配单元和 液冷技术。但在太空中，冷却几乎是免费的——只需在卫星背光面安装散热器，利用接近绝对零度的太 空环境即可实现高效散热。这消除了地面数据中心中最复杂、成本最高的组件之一。 在网络连接方面，太空数据中心同样具备优势。地面数据中心的机架通过光纤连接，本质上是激光在光 缆中传输。而在太空中，可以使用激光直接在绝对真空中连接卫星，这比光纤传输更快，能够构建比地 球数据中心更快、更连贯的网络。 从用户体验角度，太空数据中心还能缩短数据传输路径。目前的AI查询需要经过手机、基站、光纤 ...
