AI is becoming a scale and control business. On Episode 297 of The Six Five Pod, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman examine the companies building the infrastructure, forming the alliances, and making the moves that will define who wins and who gets squeezed out. Control is shifting across compute, models, infrastructure, and enterprise distribution as NVIDIA, Microsoft, OpenAI, Meta, and others push to control the next phase of the AI market.
AI is reshaping how software gets built, how infrastructure gets deployed, and how platforms compete for relevance. On Episode 296, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break down GTC expectations, Microsoft’s Anthropic-powered Copilot shift, Adobe’s leadership transition, Apple’s AI strategy, and the infrastructure debates shaping the next phase of enterprise AI.
AI development is getting easier, but building production-ready systems remains a challenge. From vibe coding experiments at Mobile World Congress to shifts in AI silicon, networking infrastructure, and the evolving app economy, Patrick Moorhead & Daniel Newman explore what’s actually changing inside enterprise technology on this episode of The Six Five Pod.
AI funding rounds are getting bigger. Infrastructure bets are getting steeper. And the SaaS model is back under pressure. On episode 294 of The Six Five Pod, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break down the $110B OpenAI raise, Amazon’s expanded role, AMD’s $100B Meta deal, sovereign cloud momentum, and whether or not the SaaS premium is being permanently eroded.
AI momentum is accelerating, but real-world constraints are tightening. From hyperscaler infrastructure lock-ins and sovereign AI expansion to RAM shortages and enterprise AI pivots, Ep. 293 examines what truly determines leadership in the next phase of AI.
AI investment is accelerating at historic levels, but so are the questions. From trillion-dollar semiconductor forecasts and 100-year bonds to the debate over AI’s impact on jobs, Ep. 292 explores whether we are witnessing a sustainable transformation or a systemic shock

The Six Five Pod is back with Episode 291. Daniel Newman and Patrick Moorhead are fresh off trips to Davos and Abu Dhabi, where they’ve explored the full AI stack up close (models, infrastructure, healthcare/genomics). This episode dives into what really matters right now in the markets and tech. From Microsoft’s Maia 200 inference push, to NVIDIA’s $2B CoreWeave bet, OpenAI’s Codex closing the coding gap, the “SaaSpocalypse” panic, Cisco’s AI Summit, and a no-BS debate on whether AI agents are actually enterprise-ready.
Welcome to a very special edition of The Six Five Pod! In this milestone episode, hosts Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman come together live in studio to celebrate hitting 100,000 YouTube subscribers. The duo takes a moment to reflect on the journey so far, their ever-growing community, and the audience of VCs, tech investors, and enterprise leaders who tune in each week.
But it’s not just about commemorating the past—our hosts dive right into the latest headlines shaping the tech industry, unpacking Apple’s ongoing AI challenges and the strategy behind its latest collaboration with Google’s Gemini. They break down OpenAI’s $10 billion deal with Cerebras, and the explosive race to build out global data centers and energy capacity. Plus, a debate on what custom silicon means for the future of AI, Meta’s recent layoffs at Reality Labs, TSMC’s strong quarterly earnings, and they share predictions for enterprise AI in 2026.
On this episode of The Six Five Pod, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman explore how infrastructure constraints, capital dynamics, software consumption shifts, and regulatory friction are increasingly determining who can scale intelligent systems, featuring an exclusive “Off The Record” conversation with Martin Casado, GM of the Infrastructure fund at a16z (Andreessen Horowitz).
