POPULARITY
Wall Street just got a lot more bullish. A major market forecast has pushed its target for the S&P 500 all the way to 7,800, implying significant upside from current levels. But is this a realistic projection based on earnings, AI growth, and economic strength... or are analysts simply getting caught up in market euphoria? In today's episode, we break down the reasoning behind the upgraded target and ask the question every investor should be asking: Can the S&P 500 really reach 7,800, or is Wall Street getting ahead of itself? We'll discuss: What's driving the bullish forecasts The role of AI and technology in earnings growth Whether valuations still make sense Historical examples of analyst optimism and pessimism Key risks that could derail the rally We'll also take a look at a viewer's trade in Cerebras Systems, breaking down the setup, risks, and opportunities surrounding one of the more intriguing names in the AI space. In addition, we'll dive into two critical market indicators that many investors ignore: The 10-Year Treasury Yield The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) Because these two markets often provide valuable clues about: Interest rates Inflation expectations Capital flows Future equity performance And of course, I'll provide updates on my current trades, portfolio positioning, and what I'm watching as markets continue to push higher. This episode is all about separating optimism from reality. Listen now:

Falsi nemici, veri affari: cosa ci stanno davvero dicendo mercati, bond e corsa all'intelligenza artificiale? In questo nuovo episodio di Inside Value, Roberto Russo e Filippo Pasini analizzano una settimana che mette in luce una delle grandi contraddizioni dell'economia globale: mentre politica e governi parlano di tensioni strategiche tra Stati Uniti e Cina, le grandi aziende americane continuano a fare affari con Pechino. Dalla visita di Trump in Cina agli accordi firmati da colossi come Nvidia, Apple, Tesla e Goldman Sachs, fino ai nuovi segnali provenienti dai mercati obbligazionari e dall'euforia sui semiconduttori AI, emerge una domanda centrale: i mercati stanno sottovalutando il rischio?Parliamo di:• tensioni geopolitiche tra USA e Cina e interessi economici reali • inflazione americana e tassi ancora elevati• il ritorno del “costo del denaro” • Treasury USA sopra il 4,5% e bond globali in rialzo • la quotazione record di Cerebras Systems • l'euforia sui semiconduttori legati all'intelligenza artificiale • valutazioni estreme e aspettative fuori scala • il rischio di confondere una grande storia con un grande investimento Un episodio dedicato a chi vuole capire cosa si nasconde dietro il racconto quotidiano dei mercati e perché, oggi più che mai, il prezzo pagato conta quanto la qualità della storia raccontata.Se volete approfondire i temi di questa puntata, trovate la newsletter sul sito Il Valore Conta, a cura di Roberto Russo e Filippo Pasini.

Stocks fell sharply on Friday as investors grew increasingly concerned about the impact of the prolonged conflict with Iran, particularly the risk that higher energy prices could further fuel inflation and keep interest rates elevated. The S&P 500 lost 1.2%, the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.5% and the Dow Jones fell 1.1%. Investors took profits in the technology sector following strong recent gains. Intel declined 5%, while Advanced Micro Devices and Micron Technology fell 3% and 4%, respectively. Nvidia lost 2%, and Cerebras Systems dropped 4% after surging 68% in the previous session following its Nasdaq debut. Microsoft outperformed, rising 4% after Bill Ackman revealed that Pershing Square had built a position in the company. Boeing shares also extended losses, falling 3% after dropping nearly 5% a day earlier, as investors reacted negatively to Trump's announcement that China agreed to purchase 200 Boeing jets, only modestly above prior expectations.SPI down 38 - BHP falls hard in US - BXB Downgrades.—Marcus Today – Daily Market InsightsMarcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.If you'd like to go further:Start a free 14-day trial of Marcus Today http://bit.ly/mt-trial-podcastJoin Marcus Today Use code MTPODCAST for 10% off http://bit.ly/mt-join-podcast-offerMT20 – Managed ETF Portfolio A professionally managed portfolio run by Marcus Padley and the team, using ASX-listed ETFs with active market timing. http://bit.ly/mt20-podcastPrinciples – How We Think About Investing A short video series on timing, behaviour, and decision-making.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Valentina Orduz y Andre Dos Santos analizan tres historias que dominan la agenda de mercados e inversión global: los acuerdos que emergieron de la cumbre Trump-Xi, el inicio formal del proceso de restructuración de la deuda venezolana, y el IPO más ruidoso del año en el sector tecnológico.El bloque de apertura examina el paquete de Beijing anunciado tras la cumbre entre Trump y Xi, repasando los compromisos en aviones comerciales, chips de Nvidia, energía, soja y tierras raras. Los hosts discuten el estatus de cada acuerdo, la ambigüedad de lo anunciado, y por qué el mercado reaccionó de manera contraintuitiva en varios de ellos. Luego, el episodio cubre la anatomía de la deuda venezolana, desglosando sus distintos tramos, la contratación de Centerview Partners como asesor financiero, la presentación macro prevista ante la comunidad financiera internacional en junio, y la postura venezolana frente al FMI.El bloque de cierre se dedica al IPO de Cerebras Systems: la arquitectura del chip WSE-3 y su propuesta frente a los GPUs de Nvidia; los números del debut en bolsa, incluyendo apertura, máximo intraday y capital levantado; el acuerdo multianual con OpenAI y la estructura de warrants que lo acompaña; y los riesgos reales del negocio, entre ellos la concentración de clientes, las pérdidas operativas y la valuación de cara a los múltiplos del sector.
Can diplomacy keep markets calm while oil, inflation and AI euphoria all surge at once? Asia-Pacific markets look set for a cautiously positive open after Wall Street rallied on growing optimism around the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing. Market View unpacks why investors are cheering signs of renewed US-China economic cooperation even as oil prices jump back above US$100 a barrel amid Strait of Hormuz tensions. We dive into President Donald Trump’s claim that China will buy more American oil, why Boeing shares still fell despite a major 200-plane China order, and what that says about expectations-driven markets in 2026. Meanwhile, AI remains the dominant force on Wall Street explore Cerebras Systems’ blockbuster IPO debut, rising Treasury yields, sticky inflation pressures and why markets are increasingly balancing optimism about growth against deep concerns about geopolitics and energy shocks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's BizNews Daybreak, President Trump discusses China's role in Iran negotiations and a major Boeing deal, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio addresses Taiwan tensions. The S&P 500 hits record highs fueled by Cerebras Systems' massive IPO and Nvidia's growth, contrasting with a strained partnership between Apple and OpenAI. Locally, Wayne Sussman examines the complexity of South Africa's upcoming municipal elections and Gary Power urges the need for personal accountability to combat institutional corruption.
Der KI-Hype erreicht die nächste Eskalationsstufe: Die Aktie von Cerebras Systems schießt nach dem Börsengang um 68 % nach oben und wird plötzlich mit 94 Milliarden US-Dollar bewertet. Ist das die nächste NVIDIA – oder bereits die nächste große KI-Blase? Wir analysieren die extreme Bewertung, die Rolle von OpenAI als Kunde und warum die gigantischen KI-Gewinne inzwischen sogar den Immobilienmarkt im Silicon Valley explodieren lassen. Außerdem: Joshua Kushner kauft massiv Shopify-Aktien – startet jetzt die nächste E-Commerce-Rally durch KI? Dazu im Podcast:
Les marchés boursiers américains reprennent leur souffle ce vendredi matin après une semaine marquée par de nouveaux records sur le S&P 500 et le Nasdaq. La hausse du pétrole, les tensions autour de l'Iran, les rendements obligataires plus élevés et une certaine prise de profits dans les titres technologiques expliquent en grande partie ce recul. En parallèle, l'intelligence artificielle et le secteur spatial continuent d'attirer l'attention, notamment avec l'entrée remarquée de Cerebras Systems au Nasdaq, la progression spectaculaire de Rocket Lab et l'arrivée très attendue de SpaceX en bourse.Il ne faut donc pas interpréter automatiquement la faiblesse de ce matin comme un changement complet de tendance. Après une séquence haussière aussi forte, une retrace était non seulement possible, mais probablement saine. Les marchés ne montent jamais en ligne droite, surtout lorsque plusieurs indices viennent tout juste d'inscrire de nouveaux sommets.https://www.daytradercanada.com/billet-boursier/marches-boursiers-spacex-rocket-lab-ia-et-petrole-au-coeur-de-la-semaine/Site web: https://daytradercanada.com/Nous joindre: https://daytradercanada.com/nous-joindre/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/daytradercanadaYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DayTraderCanadaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/day-trader-canada/

The AI trade keeps getting bigger, faster, and more expensive — and some investors are starting to see uncomfortable similarities to the dot-com era.Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong break down the explosive debut of Cerebras Systems and why surging semiconductor stocks are reigniting concerns that today's AI spending frenzy may be creating the next major market bubble.Also covered:Why semiconductor stocks keep behaving like classic boom-bust cyclesThe key warning signs that today's AI rally may be entering dangerous territoryKevin Warsh officially takes over as Fed Chair and what it could mean for policyWhy markets are suddenly pricing in future rate hikes instead of rate cutsThe surprising reason Americans continue feeling terrible about the economyHow social media and nonstop headlines may be distorting economic sentimentWhy restaurants are changing menus around GLP-1 trendsThe growing debate over whether AI is making students smarter or simply inflating gradesWhat happens if the AI spending boom eventually runs into the same reality every technology cycle faces.
Cerebras Systems shares are indicated to open 82% above their listing price, after the artificial intelligence chipmaker raised $5.55 billion in an upsized and hotly anticipated IPO. Demand for the stock is soaring a day after it priced its upsized offering above the marketed range. Shares are indicated to open at $336 each as of 12:04 p.m. Thursday, versus the IPO price of $185.

De rollen zijn omgekeerd. Normaal kan je bieden op de website van eBay, nu wordt er op de veilingsite zélf geboden. Niet zo'n beetje ook: meer dan 55 miljard dollar. Het bod komt van GameStop, een bedrijf dat vooral bekend werd als meme-aandeel. Opvallend, vooral omdat eBay vier keer zoveel waard is als GameStop. Het lijkt op een kansloze exercitie, maar de topman van GameStop is wel serieus. Hij zegt desnoods met een vijandig bod te komen én extra aandelen te gaan uitgeven. Deze aflevering kijken we of de andere meme-aandelen nu ook wakker worden en met miljarden gaan strooien. (Het hallucinante interview met de GameStop-topman vind je trouwens hier) Hebben we het ook over de jaarvergadering van Berkshire Hathaway. Dat was een bedevaartsoord, beleggers van over de hele werd wilden jaarlijks Warren Buffett aanhoren. Dit jaar zat de hoogbejaarde belegger in het publiek, het was aan opvolger Greg Abel om de zaal op te warmen. Je hoort waarom dat een lichte tegenvaller werd. Verder gaat het ook over het plan dat president Trump voor de Straat van Hormuz heeft. Ook over de bizarre beursdag van de Czechoslovak Group (handel werd stilgelegd) én je hoort meer over een oproep van de AFM. Dat wil dat Nederlanders méér gaan beleggen!

AI is shifting from model development to real-world usage, exposing a new bottleneck that most sales teams are not prepared to understand or sell against. As inference speed, memory bandwidth, and infrastructure become the true differentiators, traditional software playbooks begin to break down. Alex Varel joins John Kaplan and John McMahon to unpack what it takes to sell in this new environment, where technical depth, curiosity, and adaptability are no longer optional. The conversation explores how AI is reshaping productivity, why ICPs must evolve weekly, and how elite sellers distinguish themselves by orchestrating value across increasingly complex buying groups. Alex Varel is EVP of Worldwide Sales at Cerebras Systems, where he leads global go-to-market efforts at the forefront of AI infrastructure. He has built and scaled high-performing teams across MongoDB, Zscaler, and Multiverse, driving growth through IPO, hyper-scale expansion, and emerging technology shifts.

Join Hagay Lupesko, SVP of AI Inference at Cerebras Systems, for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving world of AI inference. Hagay breaks down why inference has overtaken training as the dominant AI workload, how Cerebras' wafer-scale chip architecture delivers 10-20x faster performance than NVIDIA GPUs, and why CUDA is no longer the moat many think it is. He also covers how DeepSeek wiping $600 billion off NVIDIA's market cap in a single day was both a foundational and deeply misunderstood moment for the industry, the growing energy crisis in AI infrastructure, and what it will take to support the explosive rise of AI agents in the enterprise.
Today is Monday, March 23, 2026. Welcome to In Case You Missed It, our weekly five-minute rundown of important channel news stories that might have flown under the radar last week. This episode of In Case You Missed It is brought to you by ESET Canada. ESET's Women in Cybersecurity Scholarship is now open for 2026, with three $5,000 awards available to women pursuing careers in cybersecurity. Applications close April 8. Learn more and apply. On this episode: Bell Canada bets big on AI in Saskatchewan. Bell Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan announced a 300-megawatt AI data center outside Regina — Canada’s largest purpose-built facility, projected to generate up to $12 billion in economic value for the province. Cerebras Systems and CoreWeave are signed on as anchor tenants. For the Canadian channel, the downstream opportunities in connectivity, edge infrastructure, and AI professional services are worth watching, as is the data sovereignty angle of keeping AI compute on Canadian soil. The Globe and Mail’s take on what this signals about Bell’s broader AI strategy. WBM Technologies says buy your RAM now. WBM’s March IT Procurement Update is the most useful thing a Canadian partner has published this month. Every vendor category is listed as constrained. HPE has seen a 24-30% list price increase in March alone. Fortinet is implementing monthly 10% price increases. HP is coming with another 10%+ increase April 1. WBM’s recommendation: buy the RAM and storage you need for the lifetime of the system. Nature magazine is calling it “RAMmageddon.” AWS brings AI agents to partner selling. At its Global Partner Summit, AWS announced AI-powered sales agents in Partner Central, built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Partners can upload meeting notes, auto-update opportunity records, check funding eligibility, and generate draft MAP funding requests. AWS reports 15% higher win rates and 44% faster close times from its solution matching engine. Another signal that vendors are using AI to fix the administrivia of partner selling. Exabeam launches new MSSP commercial framework.

I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca. Today is Monday, March 23rd, 2026. Let’s get your week started right. This week’s In Case You Missed It is brought to you by ESET Canada. ESET’s Women in Cybersecurity Scholarship is now open for 2026, with three $5,000 awards available to women pursuing careers in cybersecurity. Applications close April 8th.

Bell Canada announced a partnership with SaskTel and SaskPower to build a 300-megawatt AI data center outside Regina, Saskatchewan. The facility is projected to generate up to $12 billion in economic value for the province, and it’s being positioned as Canada’s largest purpose-built data center. The anchor tenants tell you where this is headed: Cerebras Systems and CoreWeave, two of the biggest names in AI compute infrastructure, are signed on. This isn’t a general-purpose facility — it’s built for the kind of GPU-dense, power-hungry workloads that AI training and inference demand. For the Canadian channel, there are a few things to watch. Local IT providers in Saskatchewan and Western Canada could see downstream opportunities in connectivity, edge infrastructure, and professional services around AI deployments. The data sovereignty angle is real — keeping AI compute on Canadian soil is increasingly a selling point with public sector and regulated-industry customers. And the scale of this investment signals that Canada is becoming a serious destination for AI infrastructure, not just a market that consumes AI services built somewhere else. If you’re quoting hardware right now, you need to see WBM Technologies’ March procurement update. It’s the most useful thing a Canadian partner has published this month, and the message is blunt: They're telling customers to buy the RAM and storage you need to support your systems for the lifetime of that system. Every single vendor category WBM tracks is now listed as constrained. HPE has seen a 24 to 30 percent list price increase in March alone, with quote validity down to just 14 days. Fortinet is implementing monthly 10 percent price increases. Dell expects further adjustments on March 30th. And HP is coming with another minimum 10 percent increase on April 1st. WBM is linking to Nature magazine, which is calling this “RAMmageddon.” If you’ve been following our coverage of the component shortage over the past few weeks, this is the same story, but it’s accelerating. We’ll have a link to the full WBM update in the show notes. It’s worth bookmarking. Two weeks ago on this podcast, we talked about Ingram Micro’s AgenTeq platform and the push to bring agentic AI into the distribution workflow. Now AWS is doing something similar inside Partner Central. At its Global Partner Summit, AWS announced AI-powered sales agents built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Partners can upload meeting notes and have opportunity records auto-updated. The agent flags whether a deal qualifies for AWS funding programs like MAP and can generate draft funding requests pre-filled with deal details. AWS says partners using its solution matching engine are seeing 15 percent higher win rates and 44 percent faster close times. The pattern is becoming clear: vendors are using AI to fix the messy middle of partner selling — the admin, the quoting, the funding applications, the administrivia. Worth watching how quickly this becomes table stakes. And finally, Exabeam launched a new commercial framework for MSSPs last week, offering two licensing models: a single pooled multi-tenant option and a federated subscription model. The idea is to give managed security service providers more flexibility in how they package and price Exabeam’s SIEM and analytics platform for their customers. For partners building or scaling MSSP practices, it’s worth a look. We’ll have a link in the show notes. Those are some of the things we were paying attention to last week. Big week ahead on In The Channel. Peter Kujawa from ConnectWise’s Service Leadership practice on why Canadian MSPs are planning the lowest pay increases of any region — and why that might not be a bad thing. Rob Scott from Monjur on why most MSP contracts wouldn’t survive a courtroom. Cisco Canada on the perfect storm driving a multi-year infrastructure refresh. And our very first Life After the Channel episode, with Martin McNicoll, who went from NetSuite President’s Club to making grain-to-bottle whisky in the Eastern Townships. For ChannelBuzz.ca, I’m Robert Dutt. Have a great week, and I’ll see you in the channel.
Feb 18, 2026: What's Next for AI AcceleratorsAMD's CEO Lisa Su thinks the market for cutting-edge AI chips will be worth $1 trillion annually by 2030 and NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang (who happens to be Lisa's cousin once-removed) believes AI infrastructure spend will total $4 trillion during the next five years.If those forecasts are even directionally correct, both AMD and NVIDIA will still have quite an extended growth runway in this red hot semiconductor sector.But are these admittedly self-serving forecasts actually realistic?Or is AI hardware likely to become commoditized and lower-priced during that timeframe?And are there other competitors who might also pose a challenge in this two-horse race?On Wednesday's show, I was joined by Chip Stock Investor founder Nick Rossolillo to describe what lies ahead for both NVIDIA and AMD.We also discussed why Apple is spending significantly on CapEx less than its other Big Tech peers, whether Moore's Law is actually dead, and the role of newcomers like Cerebras Systems and IonQ.#NVIDIA #AMD #semiconductors #AIchips #JensenHuang #LisaSu #chipstocks #datacenter #investing #Broadcom #Apple #TSMC #Cerebras #quantumcomputing #7investing #chipstockinvestor #techinvesting #AIinfrastructure #hyperscalers #GPUvsCPU #waferschale #FormulaOne #poleposition #techanalysis #stockmarket2026

Most everyone remembers the tale of David and Goliath, one of the greatest underdog stories. We have seen the story repeat itself in business, across sectors from food and car companies to consumer products and tech. But what about AI? The AI computer chip wars are heating up—on fire actually—as companies attempt to topple the Goliath that Nvidia has become. Our David for this episode is Cerebras Systems, one of the rapidly-growing AI chip powerhouses that has built some of the world's fastest supercomputers. This increase in speed wasn't just a few percent faster either, tests are showing that Cerebras' work came in up to 75 times faster than their competitors. Cerebras CMO, Julie Choi, joins this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Show for an insider's look into how they created the next-gen technology which is driving their record-breaking success. Julie has seen Cerebras through their $700 million in funding, filing to take the company public to raise $1B, and building strategic partnerships with businesses like the Mayo Clinic and the Department of Energy. Now, on a mission to accelerate generative AI by building a new class of AI supercomputer, that could change the course of progress, Julie shares stories about both the nerdy side of chips and the future of technology as this industry hits breakneck speeds around the globe.
On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we have a dialogue with Steve Vassallo, a General Partner at Foundation Capital, to celebrate the firm's 30th anniversary and explore the evolution of venture capital (VC) in Silicon Valley. We discuss the shift of many traditional VC firms from early-stage investments to a more asset management-oriented approach. Steve Vassallo talks about the importance of maintaining a craft-oriented, personalized approach to VC, focusing on product excellence and effective distribution. He also highlights the current trends in AI and blockchain, urging founders to prioritize innovation and core product differentiation in a rapidly changing market. With nearly 18 years at Foundation Capital, Steve shares his unique insights into the changing landscape of venture capital, the importance of maintaining a craft-oriented approach, and the challenges faced by early-stage founders. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Celebrating 30 Years of Foundation Capital Foundation Capital recently marked its 30th anniversary, a significant milestone in its journey. The firm has launched its 11th fund, a $600 million vehicle aimed at supporting extraordinary founders at the earliest stages of their ventures, particularly in the enterprise sector. Steve Vassallo adds that more than half of their investments focus on early-stage companies, including seed and Series A rounds, with a strong emphasis on technology, particularly in fintech and crypto. Steve Vassallo on the Changing VC Landscape Christopher and Steve Vassallo then discuss the evolution of VC firms, noting that many traditional firms have transformed into asset managers rather than remaining true venture capitalists. Steve points out that the percentage of capital raised by these firms for early-stage investments has dwindled significantly. He estimates that only about 20% of the capital raised by these larger firms is allocated to early-stage investments, with the majority directed towards growth-stage companies. In contrast, Foundation Capital dedicates approximately 70-80% of their recent fund to backing founders at the inception of their ideas. Steve humorously refers to these early-stage entrepreneurs as "pre-founders" or "pre-criminals," highlighting the raw potential and creativity that often characterize this stage of entrepreneurship. The Craft of Venture Capital Their conversation then moves to the notion that venture capital is fundamentally a craft business rather than a scalable factory-like operation. Christopher likens the venture capital process to crafting custom surfboards, where the quality and personal touch of the creator matter significantly. He argues that the best results come from a deep, personalized partnership with founders, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Reflecting on his own background in product design, Steve Vassallo adds that he initially believed that the best product would always win in the market. However, he quickly learned that effective distribution often trumps product quality. This realization was humbling for him, as he recognized the critical role that marketing and sales play in a product's success. He stresses that when extraordinary products are paired with exceptional distribution channels, remarkable outcomes can occur.

C'est un dessin à la Une de Libération à Paris : on y voit deux robots en train de faire la course, l'un américain, l'autre chinois… et derrière, un petit robot estampillé « France-Union Européenne », chevauché par Emmanuel Macron, qui tente désespérément de rattraper les deux autres…« La chasse à l'intelligence artificielle », titre le journal. « Chefs d'État et gratin mondial de l'IA se réunissent pendant deux jours (à Paris). Face au leadership américano-chinois, la France et l'Europe tentent de rester dans la course et la réguler ».Pour Le Figaro, « l'Europe ne peut pas passer à côté de la révolution de l'intelligence artificielle. Sa survie en dépend ».Le Figaro qui s'interroge : « l'Europe veut-elle se cantonner au rôle de régulateur en rédigeant les codes de la route des technologies conçues ailleurs ? Se contenter d'ériger des garde-fous pendant que d'autres bâtissent des empires ? Ou bien va-t-elle enfin comprendre qu'il est urgent de déverser des milliards et de faire tomber des barrières pour se doter d'infrastructures dignes de ce nom, de favoriser les alliances transfrontalières, de faire émerger ses propres titans technologiques en les aidant massivement, en capitaux et dans l'accès aux données ? Car l'enjeu dépasse largement la seule compétitivité économique, pointe encore Le Figaro : il s'agit d'une question de souveraineté. Un continent qui ne contrôle pas ses outils numériques devient dépendant, vulnérable, tôt ou tard une colonie numérique des puissances de la Silicon Valley ou de Shenzhen… »Un « contexte turbulent et incertain »Le Monde s'interroge : « ces efforts hexagonaux et européens sont-ils trop limités pour exister face aux puissances américaine et chinoise ? “L'exemple de DeepSeek montre qu'il n'y a pas besoin de centaines de milliards de dollars pour développer des IA. Et que, dans l'IA, tout n'est pas joué, répond-on à l'Élysée. Il reste énormément de transformations à venir, et la situation, la force des différents pays et start-up d'IA peuvent encore évoluer très rapidement“ ».Commentaire du Monde : « un optimisme de rigueur dans un contexte des plus turbulents et incertains ».« L'urgence d'une gouvernance mondiale de l'IA », s'exclame Le Soir à Bruxelles. Pour le quotidien belge, « au sommet de Paris, il sera crucial de choisir, collectivement, si l'IA sera un levier d'émancipation ou une menace incontrôlable. Laisser les géants de la tech décider à notre place n'est pas une option ».Macron se met en scène…Le Corriere Della Sera à Rome s'attarde, lui sur la vidéo diffusée samedi par l'Elysée, une vidéo créée grâce à l'intelligence artificielle et qui met en scène Emmanuel Macron… « Les images qui défilent, rigoureusement fausses, montrent un Macron sous diverses facettes, comme personne ne l'a jamais vu, relate le quotidien italien. Macron avec les cheveux longs donnant des conseils de beauté, Macron avec une coiffure des années 80, Macron dans une rave-party, Macron parlant de son amour pour les voitures dans une scène du film OSS117, Macron en rappeur, Macron habillé en femme… Et à la fin de cette vidéo, le président français explique à quoi sert le sommet international qui s'ouvre ce lundi à Paris : “plus sérieusement, dit-il, l'intelligence artificielle peut faire de grandes choses pour la santé, l'énergie et la vie en société. La France et l'Europe doivent être au cœur de cette révolution pour défendre les principes auxquels nous croyons" ».La France moteur européen de l'IA ?D'ailleurs, souligne le Corriere Della Sera, signe que l'Europe n'est pas à la traine : « l'assistant d'intelligence artificielle le plus rapide du monde est européen et s'appelle Le Chat. Il a été conçu par la société française Mistral en partenariat avec le fabricant de puces d'intelligence artificielle Cerebras Systems, soutenu par le conglomérat technologique émirati G42. (…) Et, affirme encore le quotidien italien, ce n'est qu'une des nouveautés qui émergent au sein de l'Union européenne, pour contrer la suprématie américaine en matière d'intelligence artificielle ».Et on revient au Monde à Paris, qui a publié ce week-end une tribune signée Sam Altman, le patron d'OpenAI, qui développe l'outil ChatGPT. Sam Altman affirme que la France est devenue un « centre névralgique de l'IA » sur le Vieux Continent.Pour lui, l'intelligence artificielle est indispensable pour stimuler l'économie. Et « si l'on veut de la croissance, des emplois et du progrès, affirme-t-il, il faut permettre aux innovateurs d'innover, aux bâtisseurs de bâtir et aux développeurs de développer. Le risque de l'inaction est trop grand pour être ignoré, c'est pourquoi le pays qui nous a apporté les Lumières (la France) prend aujourd'hui des mesures pour réussir sa transition vers l'ère de l'intelligence ».

What does it take to solve an intimidating problem that many feel is unsolvable? Andrew Feldman, Co-founder and CEO of Cerebras Systems, can tell you, because he and his team engineered an unprecedented technological breakthrough. They set out to build a new class of computer system to accelerate Artificial Intelligence work. In the end, they built the fastest AI accelerator, based on the largest processor in the industry. Tune in to hear his story, his thoughts on building and selling companies, and his career advice for aspiring founders. Enjoy this episode. Main Takeaways: - Pioneering Solutions to Big Problems: Andrew explains his love of tackling big problems where there “isn't a safety net” and his love of “fearless engineering.” He shares his experience searching for a solution that many thought couldn't be found. - Artificial Intelligence: Andrew discusses his thoughts on AI, how it could be used for extraordinary good and how it will permeate every facet of our lives moving forward. - Building and Selling Companies: Andrew discusses his experience building, leading and selling companies, diving into his decision making process for when to sell. - Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Andrew provides advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and also dives into the mistakes that he has made along the way. He stresses the need to focus on the customer, to build trust within your team and to build the right professional network. Key Quotes: In my experience, these aren't sitting on a park bench with an idea arriving like a child from Zeus's head fully formed, right? That's not the way they come. You articulate a problem….What choices are available to you to solve this? You have to decide in your career what sort of problems you're going to attack. And you have to decide if you're more afraid of failing in pursuit of a really interesting big problem or succeeding at a mediocre problem. I think like every technology, [AI] has the opportunity for tremendous good and tremendous evil, both. I'd say the same for nuclear power. I'd say the same for, you know, any number of monstrous technologies. It is that their very power can be used for good or for bad. And I think that the technologies in AI can be used for evil and the exact same technology can be used for such good, it's extraordinary. And so the challenge is on us to manage it. I think it's a tremendous mistake to build a company to sell it. I think it's a tremendous mistake to have a religious view that you have to go public. You are using other people's money in what we do. You are building a company in partnership with people who are lending you part of their career, and you're the steward of that. I think one of the things young people should think about is they see resumes and they see LinkedIn links and it's success, lots of bullets, another success, lots of bullets. I think you can just ignore all that because nobody puts up their failures. You know, bad idea, six months wasted on a bad idea, millions of dollars destroyed because of arrogance, right? Nobody puts that on their LinkedIn. And so you get this, sort of like the Instagram version of a career, perfect angles, perfect lighting filters done properly. But that's not really the way careers went.

EPISODE NOTESWiDS Executive Director Margot Gerritsen welcomes her new co-host, Cindy Orozco, in a wide-ranging conversation about their career paths and valuable learnings along the way. Cindy is thrilled to be joining as podcast co-host and believes that showcasing women at all stages of their careers shows that we “share the same fears or experiences every day. It's just that some of us have been on the path a little bit longer than others.” Cindy is an applied mathematician who is currently working as a machine learning solutions engineer at Cerebras Systems. Originally from Colombia, she loved applied math, and did a master's in civil engineering and mathematics from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), in Saudi Arabia, and a PhD in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from ICME at Stanford. She met Margot at Stanford and has been contributing to WiDS for many years at conferences, workshops and datathons.After answering some questions about herself, Cindy stepped right into her co-host role to interview Margot. A native of the Netherlands, Margot said her career path was similar to Cindy's as she started in math, got excited about applied math, and decided to study fluid mechanics. After getting her PhD at Stanford, she became a professor at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and then returned to Stanford where she has been a professor for 20 years. During this time, she has been an accomplished researcher, professor, mentor, and leader in the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences, the Institute for Computational & Mathematical Engineering (ICME), and Women in Data Science (WiDS).When asked how she managed to juggle all of these things, Margot said she learned to not worry about making mistakes or striving for perfection, saying, “80% is perfect”, adding “I always felt I can't have it all. So you make choices, and there's always something that's got to give.” Cindy agreed that the busier she is, the better she manages her time, and when you have many balls in the air, often what you learn in one area can help you solve problems in another. In discussing the “imposter syndrome”, Margot said she had often felt like an imposter, and soon discovered this was a common feeling among students and faculty at Stanford. And it's even stronger when you stand out, like a woman in STEM. It puts an extra burden on you to succeed to set the example for those who come after you. The pace of research in AI and deep learning contributes to feeling like an imposter. People publish very quickly and it's hard to understand what really good solid research is and what is just an idea. It gives people this sense that they're not on top. They forget the purpose of school is creating a lifelong interest in learning. “There's a lot of failure on the way to success. My favorite definition of an expert is somebody who's made every possible mistake.”RELATED LINKSConnect with Cindy Orozco on LinkedIN Find out more about Cerebras SystemsConnect with Margot Gerritsen on Twitter (@margootjeg) and LinkedInFind out more about Margot on her Stanford Profile

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's the largest AI processor ever made! In this week's Fish Fry podcast, Andy Hock (Cerebras Systems) joins me to chat about the largest AI processor ever made - the 7 nm wafer scale engine 2, the details of their brain-scale AI training, and how Cerebras Systems is democratizing access to high performance AI computation. Also this week, I check out a new kickstarter campaign called the SPORTSMATE 5: the world's first and lightest portable wearable robotic exoskeleton that aims to alter the way we interact with the world by applying exoskeletons to daily life.
Demand for AI compute is growing faster than conventional systems architecture can match, so companies like Cerebras Systems are building massive special-purpose processing units. In this episode, Andy Hock, VP of Product for Cerebras Systems, joins Frederic Van Haren and Stephen Foskett to discuss this new class of hardware. The Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE-2) has 850,000 processors on a single chip the size of a dinner plate, along with 40 GB of SRAM and supporting interconnects. But Cerebras also has a software stack that integrates with standard ML frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow. Although the trillion-parameter model is a real need for certain applications, platforms need to be flexible to support both massive-scale and more mainstream workloads, and this is a focus for Cerebras as well. Three Questions Frederic's Question: How small can ML get? Will we have ML-powered household appliances? Toys? Disposable devices? Stephen's Question: Will we ever see a Hollywood-style “artificial mind” like Mr. Data or other characters? Leon Adato, host of the Technically Religious Podcast: I'm curious, what responsibility do you think IT folks have to insure the things that we build are ethical?

Andrew Feldman, one of the founders and CEO of Cerebras Systems, talks about the company's wafer-scale computer chip optimized for machine learning and about the network of chips that company has built that has as much computing power as a human brain.
Andrew Feldman, whose company Cerebras Systems makes the world's largest computer chip to accelerate grand artificial-intelligence applications ranging from drug discovery to new-materials research, discusses what it takes to launch a generational company, and where the biggest entrepreneurial opportunities lie as the AI revolution unfolds across society. In conversation with Eclipse Ventures' Kushagra Vaid, Andrew shares his experience with taking on mission-impossible challenges and explains that deep-tech builders would do better to fail in the pursuit of doing something extraordinary rather than thinking incrementally.

And you gonna make sure that people see the value in going from flat to management structure.The more diversity you have, the more diversity you recruit.Sometimes, it's like we only hire the most exceptional people. But it's not true. There are not many exceptional people, and when you get one, they move your company 10x more than anybody else.Connect with TomLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-case-81b8504/Cerebras Systems Website https://cerebras.net/
Understanding intent represents a major milestone in the world of Artificial Intelligence. The practice of ascertaining a person's intent (or that of a machine, frankly) is similar to the long-standing discipline of predictive analytics, but it's arguably a deeper view into the psyche (or inner workings). This is just another way in which AI is transforming business. Check out this episode of DM Radio to hear host @eric_kavanagh interview several experts, including Andrew Feldman of Cerebras Systems, Chris Nicholson of Pathmind, and a special guest!
