Steven Dickens on China's Open Source AI Developments & Hyperscaler "Toll Booths"

from Schwab Network · host Schwab Network

Steven Dickens doesn't see Alibaba's (BABA) new LLM or any other Chinese innovation in the space as a headwind for the U.S. While the models are cheaper than counterparts, he doesn't expect commercial businesses to face strong competitive pressures. Additionally, Steven sees the hyperscalers still prevailing as the ultimate winners of the AI race due to their role as "toll booths" in the trade. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
