On Moonshots, the panel picked apart a rental index showing H100 prices rising 22% in a single month to $3.28 per GPU-hour. Dave called it a reversal of a lifetime of chip depreciation; Emad Mostaque explained why better models make the same old Hopper worth more; and the warning for companies was that the compute they assume will be there later is already sold out.
Nvidia's chief executive declared AGI achieved on September 6 while announcing more GPU capacity, and the Moonshots panel split between calling the label meaningless and calling the underlying capability the most important moment in history. A second claim on the same show — that OpenAI's agents now do 3.1 days of research work per human day — comes from an internal report that measures how long agents ran, not how much research they finished.
On Moonshots, the panel played a launch video for Redwood, an accelerator that Palo Alto startup Architect Labs says its AI designed end to end from a specification written by two architects. The company's paper reports two weeks to verified design and FPGA deployment, with a small language model running in a third week — while the headline 3.4-times efficiency figure comes from a projected Samsung 8-nanometer chip that has not been built. The panel, who disclosed they are investors and an advisor, argued the real story is a "designless" company and recursive self-improvement at the chip layer.
On Moonshots EP #284, the panel read out the performance figures OpenAI published for Jalapeño, the inference chip it built with Broadcom, and argued that inference is moving off NVIDIA. One panelist went further, imagining an "OpenAI Compute" cloud that rents capacity to competitors — possibly even hosting an Anthropic model. Dave Blundin explained why CUDA no longer locks buyers in at inference time, and why NVIDIA's next defense is the networking between chips.
NVIDIA reported $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue and guided to $108 billion for the current quarter. On Moonshots with Peter Diamandis, the panel split over what the number proves: Dave Blundin sees a company nobody can avoid, Alex wants to know how much of the demand NVIDIA itself financed, and Salim Ismail would prefer slower growth that markets have time to correct.
