What the video says
A staggering $26.5 billion raised in a single listing shows the soaring cost of the AI gold rush, but it leaves one massive question unanswered. In a defining moment, Apple has sued OpenAI, alleging the startup stole its "category killer" trade secrets through former employees.
This seismic lawsuit lands as Apple pledges $30 billion to Broadcom for chips and SK Hynix secures its own $26.5 billion listing. The never-before-seen capital deployment continues, with SambaNova reaching an $11 billion valuation and Amazon launching a $25 billion bond sale.
Meanwhile, Anthropic has signed a $19 billion lease, and Microsoft plans to replace OpenAI models with its own to cut costs. As SpaceX AI's Grok 4.5 leapfrogs the field on pricing, the ultimate bet is on who owns the factories when thinking becomes cheap.
