2024 Enterprise Software Budgets: Gen AI To Get Axed?
Management teams are working through 2024 operating budgets and hopefully have figured out that interest rates will remain elevated for 2024. Companies carrying meaningful debt have no choice but to assume elevated interest will remain for the foreseeable future (we believe a 5 handle makes sense for the 10-year).

What Percentage of OpenAI’s Revenue Is Recurring?
Should OpenAI file for an IPO this year or next, the questions to ask are: 1.) What percentage of OpenAI's revenue is recurring? 2.) What are customer renewal rates?

AI Can’t Create Demand Out of Thin Air
Some of the hyperbole that I hear around AI - Generative AI in particular - simply does not make any sense.

Nvidia and Generative AI Hype
The mistake that NVDA investors are making beyond the AI bubble euphoria is that they believe NVDA Revenues (expected to be approximately $11 billion in Q2) will be up and to the right in perpetuity driven by demand for Generative AI capability. Generative AI will not be the gift that keeps on giving. Below we … Continue reading Nvidia and Generative AI Hype
AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Will Lead Generative AI
The way I see Generative AI playing out across the enterprise will be that companies will lean on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for Core Generative AI services. The simple truth is that most enterprises do not have the knowledge or resources available to build proprietary large language models (LLMs) that underpin Generative … Continue reading AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Will Lead Generative AI
Public Company CEOs Should Not Feed the AI Hype

The average institutional investor does not understand the … Continue reading Public Company CEOs Should Not Feed the AI Hype
AI Is Nothing New, Yet We Are Only Scratching The Surface
AI is nothing new, yet we are only scratching the surface. I believe that every Technology company is incorporating broadly-defined "AI" into their products and services offerings at this juncture. "AI" at its core is based upon statistical models that underpin various advanced automation processes such as machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language … Continue reading AI Is Nothing New, Yet We Are Only Scratching The Surface
