大摩:市场低估了明年潜在的“AI重大利好”,但存在关键的不确定性
硬AI· 2025-10-09 09:52
作者 | 龙 玥 编辑 | 硬 AI 一场由算力驱动的AI能力大跃升可能正在酝酿。 硬·AI 报告认为,投资者需要为2026年可能出现的AI能力阶梯式提升做好准备。 报告描述了即将到来的算力规模:一个由Blackwell GPU组成的1000兆瓦数据中心,其算力将超过5000 exaFLOPs(每秒五百京次浮点运算)。相比之下,美国政府一台名为"Frontier"的超级计算机算力仅略高 于1 exaFLOP。这种量级的算力增长,是市场预期AI能力将出现非线性提升的核心依据。 报告称,尽管许多LLM开发者普遍认同算力投入将带来能力提升,但也有怀疑论者认为,前沿模型的智 能、创造力和解决问题的能力可能存在上限。 据硬AI,摩根士丹利在一份最新报告中表示,市场可能严重低估了即将在2026年出现的一项人工智能领域 的重大利好——由算力指数级增长驱动的模型能力"非线性"飞跃。 根据这份由Stephen C Byrd等分析师撰写的报告, 多家美国大型语言模型(LLM)开发商计划到2025年 底,将其用于训练前沿模型的算力提升约10倍。这一前所未有的算力投入,预计将在2026年上半年产出 结果,构成一个"未被充分重视的催化 ...
