According to Chaoxiang Research, UBS released a SemiBytes Flash Note on July 20, 2026, judging that the semiconductor sector is transitioning from a broad-based rally to a phase of severe divergence, while the AI-themed crowded trade continues. The report covers five core topics. The release of Kimi K3 drives another upgrade in open-source model scale; longer context windows boost demand for HBM and storage, with NVIDIA being the biggest beneficiary. Micron's cumulative free cash flow over the next few years is expected to exceed $400 billion; after the buyback ban is lifted, the theoretical buyback ratio could exceed 40%, which is not yet fully priced in by the market. Divergence within the analog chip sector is intensifying; stocks with higher AI exposure have gained a 42x P/E premium, while valuations for stocks with automotive and industrial exposure remain near historical averages. Position crowding data shows that Lam Research, Broadcom, Seagate, Micron, and AMD remain in a state of extreme long positioning crowding.

Odaily reports, as the value of the artificial intelligence industry rapidly increases, political and tech circles in the United States have begun discussing how to share the immense wealth generated by AI with the public. A series of proposals all point in the same direction: having the government or public institutions hold equity in AI companies.Recently, Sam Altman discussed the possibility of granting the U.S. government or other public entities partial ownership in OpenAI. Meanwhile, the U.S. government already holds approximately 10% of Intel's shares, and it has indicated it may receive a certain percentage of revenue from NVIDIA's chip sales to China.U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders proposed that major AI laboratories contribute half of their shares to a new sovereign wealth fund, allowing the public to share in the growth dividends of the AI industry.Observers suggest that these plans essentially aim to redistribute some of the economic benefits from AI development back to society. However, critics point out that most current proposals boil down to one model: having the government hold equity in AI companies.Supporters argue that AI could become the most significant productivity transformation in the coming decades, and involving the government in revenue distribution could alleviate wealth concentration. Opponents, however, worry that direct government ownership of stakes in tech companies could impact market competition, corporate governance, and innovation incentives.As the valuation of the AI industry continues to rise, how to distribute the economic benefits generated by artificial intelligence is becoming a core topic of debate among U.S. policymakers and the tech industry.

According to TechFlow Research, Morgan Stanley released a research report on July 27, quantifying for the first time the Incremental Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) of Generative AI investments. The report constructed three estimation frameworks: the ROIC for hyperscale cloud service providers' GPU leasing business is approximately 31%, the ROIC for proprietary infrastructure model API business is approximately 46%, and the ROIC for third-party compute API business is approximately 25%. Under base case assumptions, a single 1 gigawatt (GW) data center is configured with approximately 410,000 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs, with a utilization rate of 75% and an hourly leasing price of $8.5. The combined capital expenditure of the three major cloud giants is expected to exceed $1.4 trillion. Morgan Stanley maintains an Overweight rating on Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google. The report points out that as AI moves from the training phase to the inference phase, demand for GPU compute power will continue to grow. Providers with self-built compute infrastructure will achieve considerable profits by leveraging their pricing power in an ecosystem where compute is scarce. If Morgan Stanley's calculations hold true, the hundreds of billions of dollars in AI capital expenditure will shift from being perceived as "costs" to "growth assets".

Dragonfly Partner Haseeb posted on X platform, stating that the current AI boom might not have occurred without the development of the crypto industry. He noted that over the past decade, Bitcoin miners accumulated expertise in power acquisition, site selection, and large-scale infrastructure construction in remote areas, which has laid an important foundation for the expansion of AI data centers today. Additionally, the demand for crypto mining helped NVIDIA transition from a gaming GPU manufacturer to a supplier of AI computing chips.Furthermore, the core teams of several emerging AI cloud service providers, including CoreWeave, Crusoe, Together AI, and Nscale, all have backgrounds in the crypto industry.
According to The New York Times, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg publicly criticized the closed AI development route represented by Anthropic and OpenAI in an interview, stating that their strict control over AI technology will lead to a concentration of power, limit public access to this transformative technology, and is no different from "betraying American tech values." Zuckerberg stated that he is skeptical about the path of "building benevolent superintelligence through a single alignment mechanism" and advocates providing "personalized superintelligence" for everyone to adapt to different users' needs and values. He also pointed out that technological democratization has always been the trend in the history of the tech industry. It is worth noting that Meta's own AI strategy has also shifted recently—investing $14.3 billion in ScaleAI last spring and recruiting its founder Alexandr Wang, subsequently launching the first paid closed-source model Muse Spark, while continuing to maintain the open-source model line. This statement echoes NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's recent public strong support for open-source AI, with both sides forming a clear opposition to Anthropic and OpenAI in AI development philosophy.
