"This ‌is (not) the beginning of ‌the end of the tech dominance, it'll turn out to be a buying opportunity," said Hank Smith, director and head of investment strategy at Haverford Trust. "A big reason for that is the top tech names, ‌excluding Tesla, do not have challenging valuations given their growth rate, the moat around their business and their financial strength, which is unparalleled." The S&P 500 lost 24.20 points, or 0.35%, to 6,905.74 and the The Materials slipped, with precious-metal miners sl ...

英伟达怒花 200 亿美元，买下了一家和自个路线完全相反的公司？ 事情是这样的，上周，领投 Groq 的 Disruptive CEO 放出了消息，老黄准备吞掉自己的潜在竞争对手，同为芯片制造商的 Groq。 而这个英伟达史上最大收购案，立刻在科技圈掀起了不小的波澜。 大伙儿有说英伟达加强垄断的，有分析 Groq 技术优势的，不过讨论最多的，还是老黄真被前一阵子谷歌的 TPU 给刺激到了。。。 虽然说起 Groq，各位差友应该都比较陌生。如果你觉得听说过，那大概率是跟马斯克家的 grok 搞混了。 但这家 2016 年创立的公司，来头可不小。它今年的估值已经达到了 70 亿美元以上，创始人正是谷歌第一代 TPU 的设计师 Jonathan Ross。 Groq 的核心产品也很有意思，是一种叫 LPU（ Language Processing Unit，语言处理单元 ）的新型专用芯片，和 谷歌搞 AI 计算的专用芯片 TPU 放一块 儿，确实有点宛宛类卿那意思。 LPU 同样抛弃了 GPU 的通用性，专门为加速 AI 计算而生。 从名字上也看得出来，它甚至还要更专精一点，纯纯是针对语言模型设计的。 然而，它又是 ...

据一份英伟达的内部文件显示，美国银行旗下的金融公司Capital One在与英伟达的一次科技会议上表达 了对云计算成本的担忧，尤其是亚马逊的云计算服务（AWS）。 Capital One看到了自己对GPU和推理模型需求的不断增长，因此认为其在AWS上的成本将很快失控。该 公司向英伟达表示，希望找到AWS的替代方案，因为该金融机构正在寻求控制成本。 根据文件内容，英伟达和Capital One讨论了人工智能工厂和新型云，前者是指企业自行搭建的内部数据 中心，后者则是新兴的云服务提供商，专注于人工智能工作负载。这两种方法都可以作为从第三方租用 计算资源的替代方案。 AWS是北美市场主要的云端服务提供者之一，支持了比新型云更广泛的计算需求，也是Capital One的重 要合作方。Capital One正在利用人工智能技术执行欺诈检测、客户支持和算法交易等任务。 针对这份内部文件，Capital One回应称，将继续致力于与AWS保持合作关系。AWS则指出，该公司的 定价理念是不断努力降低自身成本，并将节省下来的成本以更低的价格回馈给AWS的客户。 然而，Capital One也并非唯一一家对AWS费用提出担忧的公 ...

至于Palantir，Wedbush认为，随着这家由亚历克斯.卡普领导的软件公司在政府和商业客户领域持续取 得令人瞩目的进展，该公司仍有望发展成为一家市值达1万亿美元的公司。 与此同时，由于CrowdStrike的产品套件在未来一年将继续在企业级市场扩张，该公司预计将从AI中受 益。 投行Wedbush称，除英伟达(NVDA.US)外，微软(MSFT.US)、Palantir(PLTR.US)、苹果(AAPL.US)、特斯 拉(TSLA.US)和CrowdStrike(CRWD.US)位列2026年人工智能领域最值得投资的前五大公司。 由丹.艾夫斯领导分析师团队表示，"在我们看来，华尔街低估了Azure的增长前景，以及雷德蒙德(微软 总部所在地)进入2026年之际即将发生的由AI驱动的转型。这使得微软成为我们未来一年最青睐的大盘 科技股之一，""虽然AI应用案例在2025财年显著增加，但显然，随着首席信息官(CIO)们纷纷为部署项 目排期，2026财年对于微软来说才是AI增长真正的拐点之年。" 在特斯拉方面，Wedbush预计其市值将在未来几个月达到2万亿美元；在牛市情境下，由于自动驾驶汽 车和机器人的兴起， ...
