1. The AI wealth-making boom enters the payout period: xAI co-founder Wu Yuhai buys the Hillsborough estate for $70 million; AI new elites such as Sam Altman, 24-year-old Leopold Aschenbrenner, and Scale AI co-founder Lucy Guo are all snapping up “old-money” Silicon Valley neighborhoods.
2. AI lab revenues surge sharply, IPO valuation benchmarks shift toward unit economics: OpenAI’s annualized revenue run rate exceeds $40 billion, while Anthropic’s pace in late July topped $65 billion; coding agents and API usage are the core growth engines, but whether inference costs can be absorbed is the key to IPO valuation.
3. Long-end interest rates are repriced by AI debt: the yield on the 30-year US Treasury briefly rose to 5.3%. In 2026, AI-related debt supply may be close to $500 billion.
