Summary
This is an industry commentary piece that examines the world's leading large-model companies through three lenses — compute, cash flow and business model — and compares the US-China gap. Its central question is whether these companies' current revenue and cash flow can support their enormous compute spending.
Bubble analysis
The piece speaks directly to whether large-model companies' cash flow can support their compute spending — the heart of the bubble question: if huge capex keeps running far ahead of AI revenue, that is the core argument for a bubble; if cash flow covers it, the spending is backed by real demand. However, the excerpt carries no figures, so it is qualitative commentary rather than hard evidence.
