Bloomberg Tech is live from coast to coast with Caroline Hyde in New York and Ed Ludlow in San Francisco. This is Bloomberg Tech. Coming up, Meta eyeing Google's AI chips, according to reports. How the market is questioning Nvidia's long-term dominance. Plus, Xi Jinping brings the issue of sovereignty over chip hub Taiwan back on the agenda with Donald Trump during their phone call.
And Apple eliminates sales roles in a rare layoff to streamline the way it offers products to businesses and governments. We have the details. But first, let's check in on these markets that are trying to digest a wall of delayed data at the same time as baking in maybe an 80% chance of a Fed rate cut. That's what the market price is in. But all eyes on tussle at the top in AI dominance.
I'm looking at a 0.5% drop on the NASDAQ 100. On the upside, some key players. On the downside, we're seeing a key drag from some of the key chip names in particular. Let's delve into what's moving this particular index, which does lag the S&P and the Dow today. We're seeing Nvidia off by 5%.
No wonder the Nasdaq 100 is underwater when the world's most dominant player from a market cap perspective is currently off by 5%. Big moves for a $4 trillion company. And in large part, It's because of Alphabet. That actually is trimming its gains, but still at a new record high. This is, we understand, meta-eyeing TPUs.
This is all about the dominance of where we get the chips of the future to train our models as well as use our models. Meta is the key line of questioning here. Is meta-eyeing TPUs from Google to put in its own data centers? They're the reports coming from the information today. Let's talk about the market reaction. Equity reporter Ryan Glastelica is here with us. Ryan, it's
monumental move that Alphabet has had since mid-October. It's added a trillion in market capitalization. We're starting to become aware of its prowess in AI and in chips. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for having me. So yeah, certainly sentiment has really reversed on Alphabet, and I think people are really appreciating how dominant it is across every layer of the AI stack.
