有没有嗅到AI泡沫的味道？金沙江创投主管合伙人朱啸虎近日在《未竟之约》节目中回应称，至少三 年内看不到泡沫。 在他看来，大家都在讲泡沫的时候，泡沫肯定还没到。那些悲观论点在朱啸虎看来都是无稽之谈，实际 上是对行业缺乏了解，"比如GPU折旧，按两三年折旧，这怎么可能，现在GPU卡远远不够用，很多五 六年、七八年的卡都还在用"。 "现在token消耗量爆发太快了，今年爆发十几倍"，他判断，明年还能十几倍，数据中心建设远远跟不 上token的爆发。在他看来，中国一口气建设十几个核电站，包括海洋光伏、光伏电站，是绝对正确 的。"后面竞争不是AI竞争，是数据中心竞争，是电的竞争，这方面中国机会是很大的。" 他表示："很多二级市场投资人是在故意引导，就是希望回调一下，过去一两个月的回调，想要为明年 再进一步爆发打基础。" 股票频道更多独家策划、专家专栏，免费查阅>> 责任编辑：栎树 ...
