Thesis
AAOI builds optical connectivity for AI data centers; as AI scales to 500K+ GPU factories, optics replace copper as bottleneck solution
Original post text
The reason I own $AAOI is because it builds the optical connectivity that lets AI chips move data across data centers. As AI scales toward 500K+ GPU factories, copper becomes the bottleneck & optics become plumbing that moves data fast enough for training & inference to work. https://t.co/uzbSdRItsy
