The explosion of agentic AI and compute shortages are pushing up prices: Average LLM token costs are now $2.12/mil tokens,+12% this week alone and +65% since end of Feb.



NEW: Exclusive Interview with Jaimin Rangwalla, Chief Investment Officer of Public Investments at Coatue In @coatuemgmt's Spring 2026 Investor Update, Jaimin walks through the unexpected winners of the AI cycle: memory, optical, CPUs, & the infrastructure layer quietly outperforming the Mag 7. We cover: - Why Coatue is "following the gigawatts" - Private companies breaking into the global top 25 pre-IPO (OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX) - Cash flow transferring from hyperscalers to AI infrastructure - The $12T funding engine behind the AI buildout - Sellers of shortage vs. buyers of shortage - The Token Economy - The CPU/GPU flip reshaping compute demand - Coatue's $6T+ AI market estimate - Agents launching agents / "1,000 analysts working 24/7" Read the full deck & watch the update replay below 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Jaimin Rangwalla, CIO of Public Investments at Coatue (00:56) Inside Coatue HQ (02:48) Investor Update Kickoff (04:36) Mapping the AI Stack (06:02) Why Supply Stays Tight (07:03) How Jaimin's Became CIO (10:43) Private Giants vs Mag 7 (12:40) Market Breadth and Reordering (15:24) Where AI Revenue Comes From (17:04) Tokens and Economy (19:43) Agents Change Everything (21:58) OpenClaw Explained (24:49) Memory Demand Explosion (27:12) Architecture Shifts Ahead (27:24) Agents Gain Memory (27:58) CPU Demand Surge (28:38) CPU GPU Ratio Flip (30:21) Key Chip Players (30:45) Intel Comeback Thesis (31:41) Semis Go Mainstream (33:24) Nvidia Mania and GTC (33:59) Tracking Data Center Buildouts (35:21) Jobs Lost and Created (37:30) Sellers Versus Buyers (40:54) Optical Breakouts (41:27) Bottlenecks Everywhere (44:48) Sentiment Versus Fundamentals (47:10) Handling Volatility (49:17) Finding New Leaders (51:18) Trillion Dollar IPOs (52:48) Risks and Disruptions (55:00) Coatue Growth Story (55:58) Staying Curious to Win





@aleabitoreddit $NBIS You gave me NBIS at 80 i made my biggest position on it like 100k i know you said its for you an 2-5 year play i dont know if i should trim now or hold . Thank you for this❤️ what is your way for NBIS ?


Cerebras Systems ($CBRS) makes massive wafer-scale AI chips built for super-fast inference. Unlike GPUs, their chip keeps the entire model memory on-chip for lower latency on real-time workloads. IPO'ing next week w/ a huge OpenAI take-or-pay contract as anchor. Our model ⬇️






Researched all wknd, found 3 companies that'll skyrocket this yr. Finishing details. Full analysis tmrw.



the pending compute shortage will make the $/H100hr chart look like Nvidia in 2023 Anthropic is throttling usage and just 25% of the slated datacenter capacity to come online in 2026 is even “under construction” start ups are raising billions to spend on compute in order to build a business and already have very limited places to put it to work its never been a better time to 1. own PPAs 2. own and sell GPUs 3. build market infra for 1 and 2




In January 2025, we committed to generating 10GW of compute and have already identified over 8GW of that. Now, we're planning for 30GW of compute by 2030. A milestone that scales with the rapidly accelerating demand for intelligent systems. Image generated by @ChatGPTapp Images 2.0 😉 #YouCanJustBuildThings
