AMD CEO Lisa Su just killed Nvidia’s $4,000 AI box with a $1,499 lunchbox.
She walked on stage, held it in one hand, and ran a 235 billion parameter model live. No data center. No cloud. No rented GPU.
The chip inside is something nobody saw coming. AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is the first x86 silicon where CPU and GPU share the same 128GB of memory. That single trick lets a desktop run models that used to need a server rack.
Out of those 128GB, Linux hands the GPU 110GB to play with. For context, an RTX 5090 gives you 32GB. A 4090 gives you 24. This box gives you more than three times either of them, in a chassis the size of a thick paperback.
The benchmark that broke the room: this chip beat an Nvidia RTX 5080 by more than 3x on DeepSeek R1 inference. A $1,499 lunchbox outrunning a $1,000 discrete graphics card on a real AI workload. Nvidia spent a decade convincing the world you needed their hardware for serious AI. AMD just put that on a desk for half the price.
Here is what nobody is telling you. A heavy AI user right now pays $200 for Claude Code Max, $200 for ChatGPT Pro, $20 for Cursor, $20 for Gemini. That is $5,280 a year leaving your account. The box pays itself off in 9 months and then runs free for the rest of its life.
Install Ollama. Pull Qwen3 235B. Point Claude Code at localhost. Same interface you already use, except now nothing leaves your machine, nothing costs per request, and no company throttles your usage at 3am when you finally have time to build.
This is the moment every AI subscription becomes optional. Lawyers stop fearing OpenAI leaks. Developers stop watching the token meter. Founders stop renting H100s for prototypes that never ship because the bill scared them.
The first thousand people to figure this out will own the next two years of private AI consulting.
Save this, and read the full breakdown article below you are watching the next shift hit before everyone else does.
I started my YouTube channel from a hotel room in June 2019 after presenting my postdoc research at a physics conference in Oregon.
At the time, my only goal was to help people navigate the cryptoverse and avoid some of the mistakes I made as a younger investor.
I remember being genuinely excited when the channel reached its first 100 subscribers. It felt hard to imagine that many people would be interested in hearing my thoughts on markets.
Over the years, there have been plenty of successes, but also many mistakes that forced me to reassess my assumptions and become a more disciplined investor.
The truth is that this journey would not have been possible without all of you. Whether you've been here since the beginning or just recently found the channel, thank you for giving me the opportunity to do what I love every day.
Today, the channel reached 1 million subscribers.
I'm incredibly grateful for that, and I don't take it for granted.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
I am in tears 😭. Stupid people elected stupid rulers who want you to be poor, then further dominate.
That is the Castro recipe for destroying a country, wondering if Cubans are advising this regime.
🚨 Dropped: ‘We’re Going Broke, Canada’ today, Facts & no filter.
A raw, fact-based track calling out the reckless spending, the ignored warnings from real experts, and the mess we’re being left with.
This one’s different.
Real numbers.
Real frustration.
Real hope that we can still turn it around.
The visuals hit different too 🔥
🎵 Listen + watch the full video now
If you’re tired of watching Canada get run into the ground while they keep spending like there’s no tomorrow…
Drop a 🔥
Tag someone who needs to hear this
And share it.
We’re Going Broke, Canada…
But we don’t have to stay that way.
welp… drive& is shutting down on july 1, 2026
you can keep using the app until june 30, but after that accounts will no longer be accessible
another reminder that not every “drive to earn” app is built to last 😕
LNG could become one of the most overlooked solutions to the data-center cooling bottleneck.
Study the Joule-Thomson effect. Controlled pressure drops can create serious cooling. Now apply that logic to LNG, cryogenic infrastructure, and AI data centers burning insane amounts of power.

@IntenseInvest0r@AskVenice, last December $VVV was around $1, today $20. 🫨 Glad for the Venice team; they are real builders.
I certainly missed that despite being a Venice user+ crypto bro.
Back in 2024 they airdropped me around $4000 for being a heavy user.
@MistralAI OCR capabilities are out of this world, cost effective af.
I have tried all kinds of free and paid PDF to .md conversion systems.
They are just the best.
1/ Meet Zachary Wolk (@zachxbt), the crypto investigator who's exposed $500M+ in fraud.
He investigated everyone. Nobody ever investigated him.
I found him in a free neighborhood paper. Also found ~$5M of "donations" from the people who never appear in his threads.
trump's latest executive order is his biggest step yet towards letting YOU become your own bank.
TLDR the order removes the traditional barriers consumers face when trying to buy and use crypto.
here's how:
1/ crypto exchanges get direct access to federal reserve "master accounts"
right now, sending money from your bank to a crypto exchange can take days and often involves a ton of questions (in many cases because the exchange has to route your money through multiple intermediary banks).
trump's executive order gives crypto exchanges direct access to federal reserve "master accounts," allowing them to process dollar deposits and withdrawals themselves. this means faster transfers and significantly lower transaction fees for everyday users.
2/ fewer failed transactions
ever tried buying crypto? you've likely been blocked by your bank (after all, they don't want you to convert your fiat into crypto).
trump's latest order gives traditional banks the green light to work directly with crypto companies, reducing the traditional friction that exists between tradfi and defi.
3/ level playing field between crypto companies and banks
crypto companies finally get the green light to launch their own financial products. so they can offer things like high-yield crypto savings accounts directly to consumers.
4/ institutional and consumer stablecoin adoption
the eo is a major step towards stablecoins finally being used in everyday life.
by making it easier for crypto companies and banks to partner, the eo enables stablecoins to be used as a form of payment in daily life; from online shopping to in-store payments. this allows consumers to bypass traditional wire fees etc, letting them keep more of their money.
