I wonder how much Karp is paying him. $AIG must be a massive account, and with Palantir trading at a quadzillion x rev, Zaffino must've created a ton of value for Karp. Zaffino stepping down as CEO of $AIG to be 'head of financial services', but I bet the pay is better?

Zaffino always seemed completely Palantir-pilled. Now we know why. Wonder if $AIG might get their expenses in order if new management (although handpicked by Zaffino...) take it easy with all their Palantir consultants https://t.co/bGgocKEd9v

Our model is a tracker but ultimately a forward valuation model using $ B/GW. If, for example, $AMZN is expected to bring a total of 16 GW online by end of 2028, and then there is a delay of some sort and this has been publicly disclosed somewhere, our next weekly update will catch this and adjust the timeline. This would adjust AMZN's forward valuation from 2 to 3 years out.

I'm long a bit of $META. The ads business is just so absurdly good right now. At current valuation I'm willing to put up with the AI infra exposure that I'm not super excited about.

One under-discussed part of $SNOW story is how AI is accelerating migrations onto the platform Worth thinking through the winners and losers across the enterprise from massively lower friction to enter/exit platforms esp those who had complexity-based lock-in as a moat https://t.co/uPvv3Hl61D

Yes, you are, the $GME valuation is insane. Very long $GME! https://t.co/dfSFkIUxR0

Am I thinking about $GME right? (ignoring recent convertible exchanges) 593m share count assumes all debt converts to equity x $19/sh = $11.3b market cap Less $10b net cash & ebay stock = $1.3b EV Trailing GAAP EBIT for underlying retail stores = $480m EV/EBIT at 2.7x

$SNOW conference call is the bear case for application software companies. Their data infrastructure combined with coco and cowork on top increasingly makes SNOW a key player in data migrations, and data consolidation for their customers and a key hub to switch between models means SNOW has a seat at the table to be one of the most important and internal pieces of an AI stack....and as they become the permissions data holder with governance and api/mpc to internal and external partners, they can actually become the system of record across applications. This would allow you to use tools like cocoa inside to contextualize in human language what you want built, or even what data/answers you want and how you want that visualized.... Compare this to a Salesforce that is essentially becoming a database company silo to their specific domain by opening up their data to Claude to be the work engine. Eventually companies will increasingly want to stop interfacing with multiple applications to query and want to UI and query across a singular interface (originally thought to be an LLM like Claude, but with specific training and different inference costs / intelligence across models its more like the player presiding over the biggest pool of company data (snowflake, databricks) could become that central payer - less model lock, more flexibly, and central access point for models, data, queries and ui across functions. May not relegate a salesforce obsolete but significantly destroys their value when people access from Snow or even from an LLM like Claude were they lose the ui interface, and behavioral association and slight shared/learned network effects and become a database. Increases switching costs overtime and certainly destroys pricing (agent force consumption model is a step in the modern pricing setup, but start based models are dead, its not an if for most applications without highly defensible and proprietary data) $PEGA, $APPN, $PATH, $CRM, $PAYC are first pass through som of the more exposed names
