## Open Compute Summit Buzz
Last week I was in Silicon Valley at the Open Compute Project Global Summit, which was sold out and buzzing with energy about AI tech fueling the capex boom.
## Meeting Tech Giants
I met with more than twelve companies ranging from Credo to Zutacore, showcasing cutting-edge AI networking, compute, and cooling technology.
## Investor Anxiety Rises
Many stocks of publicly-traded AI clouds, called neoclouds, plummeted on concerns about continued funding, including CoreWeave and NVIDIA shares.
## Huang's TV Statements
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang told Bloomberg CoreWeave’s strength is 'improving every day,' which seems at odds with investors' screens.

## Silicon Valley Concerns
An experienced Silicon Valley executive called Huang's TV airtime distasteful, noting his growing fame despite Time magazine leaving him out.
## CoreWeave Stock Plunge
In the past month, CoreWeave stock has plunged 60% and debt insurance costs have skyrocketed, raising investor questions about AI infrastructure.
## Analyst Warning
William Blair analyst Jason Ader noted CoreWeave's bond selloff and 25% stock decline shifted focus to the company's ability to finance growth.
## CoreWeave as Liability
CoreWeave, heavily supported by NVIDIA, could become a liability as NVIDIA stepped in to rescue its IPO last spring.
## NVIDIA's Financial Risks
If CoreWeave collapses, NVIDIA may write off 10%-13% of its investment and lose chip revenue.
## NVIDIA's Debt Exposure
Morgan Stanley estimates NVIDIA's off-balance sheet liabilities and credit exposure total $170 billion to $200 billion.
## AI Capex Boom Shift
The AI capex boom has shifted from hyperscaler cash flows to bond market funding, making it more leveraged than ever.
## NVIDIA's Next Move
NVIDIA needs a communications and finance strategy to address market risks, as TV appearances may not be the best strategy.
## Key takeaway

NVIDIA's Jensen Huang faces financial risks as CoreWeave's debt crisis deepens.
