Nvidia CES 2026

Semi Doped

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from centralized cloud training to distributed local inference creates a massive demand for high-bandwidth storage and custom CPUs.
  2. Audit your technical roadmap to prioritize local agentic workflows that reduce latency and data privacy risks.
  3. The next 12 months will favor hardware that enables physical AI and local autonomy. Owning the compute stack is becoming a competitive necessity for builders who want to move faster than the cloud allows.

Post-training best-in-class models in 2025

Weights & Biases

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Intelligence is decoupling from scale. As reasoning becomes a commodity, the value moves from the size of the model to the proprietary nature of the training data.
  2. Use TRL or Unsloth for single-GPU fine-tuning. Prioritize cleaning your instruction sets over increasing your training iterations.
  3. The future belongs to those who own their data pipelines. If you can distill elite reasoning into a 350M parameter model, you win on latency, cost, and privacy.

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Moving from Blind Locomotion to Semantic Navigation defines the next frontier.
  2. Prioritize modular architectures that use off-the-shelf VLMs for task orchestration.
  3. Expect the first value-positive humanoid deployments in late 2026.

Automating Large Scale Refactors with Parallel Agents - Robert Brennan, AllHands

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Software maintenance is moving from a manual craft to an industrial process. As agents handle the toil of migrations and security, human engineers will focus entirely on high-level system design.
  2. Batch by Dependency. Use the OpenHands SDK to visualize your codebase as a graph and deploy agents to solve the leaf nodes first.
  3. Companies that master agent orchestration will clear their tech debt backlogs in weeks instead of years, creating a massive competitive advantage in product velocity.

DSPy: The End of Prompt Engineering - Kevin Madura, AlixPartners

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Trend: Software is moving from imperative instructions to declarative goals.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Port your most expensive GPT-4 prompts to DSPy signatures and run them through a BootstrapFewShot optimizer.
  3. The Bottom Line: Brittle prompts are the new technical debt. Building with a declarative framework ensures your system improves as models get cheaper.

Spec-Driven Development: Sharpening your AI toolbox - Al Harris, Amazon Kiro

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. We are moving from probabilistic prompting to neurosymbolic reasoning where the LLM is a component of a larger structured system.
  2. Install MCP servers for your specific documentation and task trackers. Ground your agent in reality to reduce the manual verification loop.
  3. Engineering rigor is returning to the AI era. Builders who adopt structured workflows will outpace those stuck in the "prompt and pray" cycle.

AI, markets, and power: A conversation with Paul Krugman

Azeem Azhar

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Capital is replacing labor as the primary driver of productivity.
  2. Prioritize investments in incumbents with massive distribution or lean startups that swap payroll for compute.
  3. The US remains the primary engine of growth but the internal divide between tech hubs and the hinterland will widen as AI concentrates wealth.

Artificial Analysis: The Independent LLM Analysis House — with George Cameron and Micah Hill-Smith

Latent Space

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The decoupling of parameter count from active compute via sparsity means intelligence is becoming a software optimization problem as much as a hardware one.
  2. Audit your agentic workflows for turn efficiency rather than just cost per token.
  3. In a world of infinite tokens, the winner is the one who can verify the truth the fastest.

ETH Breaks New Records While BTC Hits ANOTHER All Time High

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The ETH Treasury Is The New Institutional Bid. The narrative that powered Bitcoin's run is now being replicated for ETH, but with a twist: former Bitcoin miners are leading the charge, creating a powerful, reflexive buy-cycle.
  2. ETH's Supply Squeeze Is Real. The combination of record ETF demand, minimal proof-of-stake issuance, and a re-staking culture means the buy pressure is overwhelming the available sell-side liquidity.
  3. Regulation Is Becoming A Tailwind. The expected passage of the stablecoin bill provides a legitimate foundation for institutional adoption, turning a long-time headwind into a powerful catalyst for growth.

Breaking Down the PUMP Launch

Lightspeed

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Solana’s Watershed Moment: The smooth on-chain execution for a high-demand event proved that decentralized infrastructure is not just viable but, in this case, superior to its centralized counterparts.
  2. Value Accrual is Non-Negotiable: The era of valueless governance tokens is over. Protocols must now provide clear, tangible mechanisms like revenue sharing or buybacks to build trust and justify their valuation.
  3. The Real Game is the Front-End: While back-end infrastructure plays are viable, the ultimate prize is owning the user relationship. PUMP’s battle with Axiom for the title of the premier consumer-facing crypto app is the key narrative to watch.

Breaking Down the PUMP Launch | Analyst Round Table

0xResearch

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. On-Chain is the New Main Stage: The Pump launch proved Solana can handle massive retail demand better than established CEXs, a major narrative shift for future token sales.
  2. Brand and Treasury Trump Daily Noise: Pump's $6B+ valuation is driven by its powerful brand and massive war chest. Investors are betting on the long-term picture, not volatile daily metrics.
  3. Value Accrual is Now Table Stakes: The 25% revenue share signals a new era. Protocols can no longer ignore direct value accrual for token holders; it's now a requirement to earn market trust.

Why $1 Of Bitcoin Held By A Public Company Is Worth More Than $1

Empire

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Active Value Creation Over Passive Holding: The primary investment thesis is not just owning Bitcoin, but owning a company that actively works to increase your proportional stake in Bitcoin through astute capital management.
  2. Shareholders Benefit from Arbitrage: The company can issue stock at a premium to buy more assets or sell assets to buy back stock at a discount, with both actions increasing the crypto-per-share metric for existing holders.
  3. A Structurally Superior Model: This model aligns management and shareholder interests to grow NAV per share, a dynamic missing from both passive ETFs (where third parties capture arbitrage) and older closed-end funds (which suffered from principal-agent issues).

10 Bullish ETH Charts

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Institutional Bid is Real and Diversified. Institutions are not just buying ETH via ETFs; they are building with it via stablecoins, tokenizing real-world assets on it, and holding it directly in corporate treasuries.
  2. ETH's Supply Dynamics are a Ticking Time Bomb. With issuance lower than Bitcoin, an 8-year low of supply on exchanges, and over 43% of ETH locked in smart contracts, a powerful supply shock is building beneath the surface.
  3. L2s are a Feature, Not a Bug. The temporary hit to L1 revenue is a calculated investment in mass adoption. By fostering a thriving Layer 2 ecosystem, Ethereum is sacrificing short-term fees for long-term network dominance and pricing power.

PUMP Buybacks Initialized

0xResearch

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. PUMP is the New Memecoin Index: The market is treating PUMP as a direct proxy for the health of the entire memecoin ecosystem. Its performance is a leveraged bet on speculative activity, making it a crucial asset to watch.
  2. On-Chain Venues Are Winning: The PUMP launch was a massive fumble for centralized exchanges and a huge win for on-chain infrastructure like Solana and Hyperliquid, which handled record volume smoothly. Price discovery now happens on-chain first.
  3. The Frontend is the Next Battlefield: PUMP’s biggest challenge is not just competitors like Bonk.fun, but the risk of being disintermediated by trading apps. To survive, it must become a destination platform, not just backend infrastructure.
