    OpenAI closed a new funding round, raising $6.6B from Microsoft, Softbank and Nvidia. This was based on a post capital raise valuation of $157B. The company is expected to generate $3.6 billion in revenue this year, despite losses exceeding $5 billion, while next year’s revenue is projected to soar to $11.6 billion.

    Debt covenants are the restrictions placed on borrowers. You would find them in residential mortgages too, such as the borrower won't demolish the house without consent and you must insure the property, etc. In this case the lender has given them a waiver because they would have been in breach of that term. SMCI is a tier 1 partner of Nvidia and we believe has priority allocation of 25% of Blackwell chips. And on that(supply), total Hopper supply in 2023 was circa 550k chips and estimated 1.8-2m for all of 2024. Recent reports (today) show an estimated 2025 supply of 3M Hopper +4M Blackwell. No one expected Hopper, 'the old' architecture to continue to increase through 2025. By the time these chips are assembled in servers they are $40k per unit. The math is interesting!

    @dingg said in Fed rate cut 50bps: Yes, today will be stellar, show on tomorrow's read out Friday is opex, going to be volatile, closing just positive (he says optimistically) You are of a more optimistic mindset than me! Or (much more likely) you simply have different portfolio allocations. For me, Thursday (i.e results shown on Friday) was decent but not huge. And Friday (results shown on Saturday) was slightly down. Hoping for big things on Monday (Tuesday's results), but then I hope for that every day!

    Hi All. Aggregating threads/data from third-party sources is not really within the scope of this forum. However you can accomplish this quite easily yourself with an RSS reader. Feedly is probably the easiest and most popular option, free to use up to 100 feeds. However, there are plenty of other free and paid options. Most forums, including this one; have multiple RSS feeds you can subscribe to (look for the [image: 1726570922525-screenshot-2024-09-17-120153.png] icon). If you want to further customise your experience you can do so from your user profile.
