Gavin explains that the bear case for AI capex spend is on-device inference: "In three years, on a bigger phone, you'll be able to run a pruned-down version of Gemini 5, Grok 4, or ChatGPT. And that's free. This is clearly Apple's strategy - we're going to make it... show more

Elon Musk says smartphones won't exist in 5 years. "We're not going to have a phone in the traditional sense. What we call a phone will really be an edge node for AI inference, with some radios to obviously connect, but essentially you'll have AI on the server side communicating to an AI on your device." "There won't be operating systems, there won't be apps in the future. You've got a device that is there for the screen and audio to put as much AI on the device as possible so as to minimize the amount of bandwidth needed between your edge node device and the servers." "You'll get everything through AI. Whatever you can think of, or really whatever the AI can anticipate you can think of, it'll show you." "It's probably five or six years, something like that."

Elon Musk reveals why he believes phones, apps, and operating systems will be extinct within 5-6 years "We're not going to have a phone in the traditional sense. What we call a phone will really be an edge node for AI inference, for AI video inference" "There won't be operating systems. There won't be apps in the future. It'll just be a device that is there for the screen and audio" "You'll get everything through AI. Whatever you can think of, or really whatever the AI can anticipate you might want, it'll show you" "Most of what people consume in 5 or 6 years, maybe sooner than that, will be AI-generated content. Music, videos" "There are people who have made AI videos using Grok Imagine that are several minutes long, 10 or 15 minutes, and it's pretty coherent" "The phone will just display the pixels and make the sounds that it anticipates you would most like to receive"

Elon Musk says he is not working on making a phone, and shares his thoughts on the future of telecommunications: “I am not working on a phone. A phone will really be an edge node for Al inference, for Al video inference. With, you know, with some radios to obviously connect to, but essentially you'll. have Al on the server-side, community communicating to an Al on your device. I think that there won't be operating systems. There won't be apps in the future. There will be operating systems or apps; it'll just be you've got a device that is there for the screen and audio, and for, and, and to put as much Al on the on on the device as possible, so as to minimize the amount of bandwidth that's needed between your edge node device, formally known as a phone, and the servers.”

IN NEWS: Baseten raises a $150M series D round. Tuhin Srivastava (Founder & CEO, Baseten) on the future of inference: “I think the token price goes down and inference should get cheaper over time. And that really just means there is going to be more inference.” “Every time we lower prices or optimize models to make it cheaper, four months later customers are spending more anyway.” “Inference prices will go down, but if the world is run by AI in 10 years, there is going to be a lot of inference. It better be cheap.”

Chamath on why the AI capex spend might end up in a bubble Even though the race is on to adopt this technology as fast as possible, key economic indicators such as productivity and GDP growth are not yet showing any meaningful changes because of AI For the spend on AI to continue, companies need to be able to point to margin expansion or revenue growth that was directly contributed through AI A shoe company must be able to say they sold more shoes because of AI adoption A food or restaurant business must be able to say that they generated higher profits because of AI adoption This is simply not the case today. Until that happens, the AI thesis remains fickle

🇺🇸 ELON KILLED THE SMARTPHONE: "WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A PHONE IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE" No, Tesla isn't building a phone. They're leapfrogging the entire concept. The device in your pocket won't be a phone anymore. It'll be a super-thin AI edge node, basically a screen with radios that pings Grok/xAI servers for EVERYTHING in real time. No apps. No operating system. No local processing. Just instant photorealistic video generation, simulations, predictive actions (it orders your coffee before you know you want it), all streamed from the cloud like your brain is directly plugged into the AI. Exact quote that broke the internet: “We’re not going to have a phone in the traditional sense. What we’ll call a phone will really be an edge node for AI inference with some radios to connect.” This is already how Grok works in Tesla cars: voice in, server crunches, perfect response out. Now imagine that in your pocket, on steroids. The ultimate edge node is your brain talking directly to the AI, no screen needed. The smartphone dies in the next 5 years. The AI companion era begins. And xAI is building the brain of the entire thing. The future isn't a better iPhone. It's the death of the phone as we know it. Elon showed the blueprint.

🇺🇸 ALL IN PODCAST: ONLY GROK AND GEMINI MATTER IN AI RIGHT NOW On the latest All In, Chamath crowned Grok and Gemini as his phone's only AI anchors: "I try to limit the number of apps on the phone, but I have Gemini and Grok as the 2 anchor apps because I'm so reliant on both of them, and I just keep going back and forth between them now." But the real tea was Jason calling the AI war "the greatest battle we've seen since Netscape versus Microsoft." He predicts that Google is planning to "suck the oxygen out of the room" by making everything free and strangling competitors. "People used to pay 50 bucks for a Netscape browser. Microsoft came in and made it free. The same thing's going to happen to ChatGPT. Right now, 80% of the revenue comes from $20 subscriptions." The AI throne isn't decided by benchmarks anymore. Grok wins again. Source: All In Podcast, @jason, Chamath Palihapitiya

You should really stop using Zapier or Make. Deploying Python scripts on Replit takes less than 5 min and is cheaper. Just describe what you want to automate and AI takes care of writing the code. For example, I created an automation that merges all the PDFs in a folder on Drive into a single file. All that's left to do is: - Copy/paste the API key - Click on "Run" And you're done! In this case I used Aider Chat (free and open source), but you can also use Replit Agent.

Everyone wrote Apple off as the AI loser, but one hardware spec might flip that story upside down (Save this). @jason called Apple a screaming buy on the back of a single chip detail. The rumored M7 Ultra, expected around 2028, is designed to support up to 1.5TB of unified memory, enough to run frontier class trillion parameter AI models locally, with no cloud required. The Street's bear case on Apple is straightforward. Apple has no frontier model of its own, Siri has stumbled for years and the company effectively rents OpenAI's models for its hardest queries. That narrative treats Apple as the one Magnificent Seven name that missed the AI wave entirely but the bull case flips that framing on its head. If frontier AI models keep shrinking and getting cheaper to run, Apple doesn't need the smartest model in the world, it just needs to own the device that model runs on. And unified memory is the mechanism that makes this possible. Unlike traditional systems where the CPU and GPU each need separate memory, Apple's architecture lets the CPU, GPU and Neural Engine draw from one shared pool. A fully specced M7 Ultra could theoretically run something on the scale of a 1.2 trillion parameter model locally and that capability plugs directly into the one advantage Apple has spent over a decade building: privacy. Apple has already shipped Private Cloud Compute, a system designed so even Apple can't access user data processed off device. Apple doubled down on this at WWDC 2026, framing on device privacy as non-negotiable while rivals default to the cloud. If the best AI models get small enough to run on Apple silicon, the moat stops being the model and becomes the hardware it has to sit on. Milk Road Pro remains bullish on Apple and it remains as one of our core positions, if you want the full thesis + our full AI trades, come join us using the link below for just a $1.

17 years ago today, Steve Jobs introduced us to the iPhone. "Well, today, we're introducing three revolutionary products of this class. The first one, is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second, is a revolutionary mobile phone. And the third, is a breakthrough Internet communications device. So, three things; a widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone and a breakthrough Internet communications device. An iPod, a Phone and an Internet communications device … are you getting it? These are not three separate devices. This is one device – and we are calling it iPhone. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone."

$GOOG is finally integrating AI in its homepage. “AI Mode” button goes directly to Gemini. This is going to be a game changer. For reference, ChatGPT got 5.5 billion traffic last month while Gemini got 500 million. Google, on the other hand, got 85 billion. Even if it can redirect just 5% of this traffic to Gemini, it’ll catch ChatGPT in usage. Bullish on $GOOG.

Been experimenting with Apple's new Core AI framework over the past few days Built a mobile app that runs local AI models directly on device, exploring Core AI model deployment (.aimodel), model specialization, caching, and inference across Apple Silicon Also spent some time integrating with Apple's Foundation Models framework and understanding how custom models can coexist with Apple's on-device AI stack Still early, but the combination of Core AI, Foundation Models, and the Apple Neural Engine feels like a pretty compelling foundation for local first AI applications Still in alpha and working towards a more stable version, but it's been a fun way to explore where Apple's on device AI ecosystem is headed !!

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe in new interview on self-driving: "Tesla's got a huge fleet. So our approach is we have to catch up with them and compete. And so we're going to have more cameras with better dynamic range. We're going to supplement that with LiDAR that provides better safety for edge case conditions and allows us to train the vision models faster. And the incremental cost to do that is relatively small. And in fact any of the incremental costs that would have been there on its own is offset by the fact that we brought inference in house and reduced the cost of our inference platform so dramatically from what we have in your car. Your car uses an Nvidia inference platform. I say all this because in like the infinite long-term you know, you could make the case that once the models are very very robust you could have less cameras or you may be able to get away with less radar. It's not clear yet if that's the case for covering all these corner cases."
