Nomura Securities believes that market concerns about the outlook for AI investment are "overreactions," that the memory chip shortage will persist until 2028, and that memory sector valuations are severely undervalued. It estimates that global new data center capacity will grow about 41% next year, from 22.3 gigawatts to 31.5 gigawatts; the combined net cash flow of nine semiconductor companies will rise from $282 billion in the second quarter of this year to about $2 trillion by the end of 202

At CASPA's 35th Annual Conference, SemiAnalysis founder Dylan Patel and Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon discussed the outlook for AI infrastructure investment, arguing that with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield breaking above 5% and unsecured bonds from emerging cloud service providers yielding close to 15%, financing capacity is becoming a key constraint on expansion. The two judged that substrates and memory are bottlenecks harder to scale than power, that HBM requires roughly 3 to 4 times as ma

Google DeepMind had four Gemini 4 Argon agents team up to play Minecraft from scratch, defeating the Ender Dragon after 27 hours of real time, during which they died 605 times, wrote more than 2,700 programs, and produced a total of 63,300 lines of code. The four agents had no human-written programs to rely on; chopping trees, mining, and crafting equipment all required them to write and test their own code, and they also shared experience with each other and reported the locations where teammat
