Short dramas have quietly scaled into a mainstream format, and most of the US still hasn't noticed. Serialized, vertical, and made for the phone. Episodes run one to two minutes, seasons run 100 to 150. In China it's already obvious. More viewing time now goes to short dramas than to long-form streaming. And AI is moving in fast: on Douyin's top 5,000 titles, close to one in five are now AI-generated, up from none four months ago. Coatue sector head Michael Lord Barton Jr. on why China could be the early signal for what reaches the US next.

There are two ways to participate in AI. Philippe Laffont on the tug-of-war between them: "Sellers of the shortage" — chips, memory, optical, power equipment. Book the profit on day one. "Buyers of the shortage" — the hyperscalers spending the capex. Long, recurring revenues. "There's this gigantic tug of war between the sellers and the buyers." "The market is really rewarding the sellers of the shortage, but it is not rewarding the buyers of the shortage." "A lot of those profits are becoming the free cash flow of the other companies — the transfer that's happening." "I'm absolutely convinced that at some point the transfer will switch around."

AI is rapidly reordering winners and losers — Philippe Laffont, Founder of Coatue One reordering is already underway: the shift from GPUs to CPUs.
