一些中文媒体尤其是自媒体在提到"大而美法案"时，总是有意无意地指出这个法案在"劫贫济富"， 富人得益很多，穷人损失不小。这并非法案的全貌。总体而言， "大而美法案 "的目的 ，是通过调 节税收和政府支出，增加居民收入，引导美国产业的发展方向，从而实现让美国再次伟大的目标。 增加居民收入，主要做法是减税。特朗普签署了"大而美法案"之后，白宫网站在发布相关信息时列 举了法案的16个（条）亮点，前5条都是针对居民的税收减免，第一条的第一句话就说"（大而美 法案）是历史上最大规模的针对中产阶级和工薪阶层的税收减免（The largest tax cut in history for middle- and working-class Americans）"。 有人得，有人失。 "大而美法案"备受争议的一点在医疗领域，广为流传的说法是，这个法案将在 未来10年使1200万美国人失去医疗保险。 未来10年真的会有1200万美国人失去医疗保险吗？这个问题只能是在10年之后才有答案。而"大而 美法案"的其中一项规定以及与此相关的民意调查结果，则让我们通过数字一窥美国社会、美国人 真实的一面。 这项规定就是：从2026年12月 ...

Core Viewpoint - Nvidia and Microsoft are both approaching a $4 trillion market valuation, but they represent fundamentally different AI investment logics: Nvidia focuses on direct bets on core infrastructure, while Microsoft emphasizes long-term belief in the proliferation of application ecosystems [2][4]. Group 1: Nvidia's Position - Nvidia's value surge is attributed to its unique position in the AI value chain, acting as a "supplier" where any company looking to enter the AI field must first procure its chips, leading to explosive growth with annual sales increasing over tenfold in the past three years [4][9]. - Analysts predict Nvidia's average annual growth rate will remain at 32% over the next three years, although its growth is contingent on the demand from its largest customers and the potential emergence of disruptive technologies [9][10]. Group 2: Microsoft's Strategy - Microsoft plays the role of a "service provider," betting on deeply integrating AI technology into its extensive product matrix, such as Azure cloud services and Office software, and convincing users to pay a premium for these AI-enhanced services [4][5]. - Microsoft's market capitalization increased by $1 trillion in less than three months, but achieving a $4 trillion valuation would result in the highest expected earnings multiple in over 20 years, indicating that the market has high expectations for its future performance [2][6]. Group 3: Challenges Facing Microsoft - Microsoft faces significant challenges, including a potential rift with early partner OpenAI, which may restructure their relationship as OpenAI seeks to become a standard profit-driven company [7]. - The company is also struggling to reduce its dependency on Nvidia, encountering difficulties in developing its own AI chips, while undergoing large-scale internal restructuring, including layoffs aimed at increasing efficiency and investment in AI [7][8]. - Financially, AI's contribution to Microsoft remains limited, with AI services in the Azure cloud generating approximately $11.5 billion, which is only about 4% of total sales, providing some downside protection [9].

在AI竞赛如火如荼的今天，真正制约各家公司发展的核心瓶颈究竟是什么？ semianalysis写了一篇文章，通过深入分析DeepSeek和Anthropic两家公司的策略选择，揭示了一个行业共同面临的根本挑 战：计算资源的稀缺。 DeepSeek R1发布128天后的数据呈现出一个看似矛盾的现象：官方平台用户流失，但第三方托管的模型使用量却暴增20 倍。为什么用户会抛弃价格极低的官方服务，转而选择第三方平台？ 本文通过Token经济学这一分析框架找到了答案。 文章指出，AI服务的定价本质上是三个性能指标的权衡游戏。 第一是延迟，即用户发送请求到收到第一个字符的等待时间； 第二是吞吐量，即模型每秒能生成多少个token，直接影响对话的流畅度； 第三是上下文窗口，决定了模型能"记住"多少对话历史，对于分析长文档或大型代码库至关重要。 关键洞察在于：通过调整这三个参数，服务商可以实现任何价格水平。 DeepSeek选择了极端配置——数秒的延迟、每秒仅25个token的输出速度、业界最小的64K上下文窗口，换取了极低的价 格和最大化的研发资源。 有趣的是，作为西方AI领军企业的Anthropic也面临着相似的困境。C ...
