But they've got these thermal issues that are kicking around. They had this thermal issue that they said was a design issue that they fixed with a mask, which doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not an ASIC designer, but that would be very surprising. I think they're going to have yield issues. I think they're going to have reliability issues. I think they're going to have price point issues.

I think it's really expensive. And I think you couple all of that with the changing market conditions. And I think Blackwell is going to be something we haven't seen from Nvidia in a while, which is a part that does not do well. Now, this is not investment advice because I think there's every reason to believe that the H100 and the H200 will continue to thrive. I mean, there is no way I would.

I'm not taking a short position on NVIDIA like ever because like AWS, they have executed so well.

It has to be a lot better. And the price point is so high. And I think the availability is going to be tough. And I think the yield issues are going to be tough. So we'll see. But I think we'll know a lot more in a year on Blackwell.

I think that's it. That's the moat, as perceived. Steve, do you have any one of your predictions? Maybe on the topic of the CUDA moat, I think in 2025, AMD buys a software company.

I think it might be. We know that the market's pretty flooded and it feels like there's a lot of those companies going to be looking for what they're different. It would not surprise me if a company is looking for a lightboat.

That's a bold prediction. That is a great one. Yeah, exactly. Calm AI. Yeah. George Hutz. Geo Hutz. Yeah. But someone like that, a small player who has got a reputation for software expertise. And it would be north of a billion dollars. Yeah. And north of a billion. Wow.

Interesting. Yeah. The good prediction. Um, when I've got a, um, just come back to myself for one other one year prediction. Um, and this is, this is a prediction that could be wrong by tonight. Um, But I think that Intel's CEO search is going to be an absolute wall-to-wall, unmitigated disaster.
