AI boom hinges on success of OpenAI and Anthropic, warns Steve Eisman amid rising competition from cheaper Chinese models

Investor Steve Eisman highlights that the future revenue of tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Oracle heavily depends on AI startups OpenAI and Anthropic, which contribute 70% of their AI-related income and up to 35% of cloud revenue. Eisman warns that cheaper Chinese open-source AI models are gaining market share, potentially sparking a price war that could threaten these companies' earnings. This concern adds to broader skepticism about the AI boom's sustainability, with investors like Michael Burry betting against major AI beneficiaries, questioning the genuine end-customer demand behind the surge.
