A short-seller is a gum shoe who roots out a particular story about a specific company and brings it to light. In this way, a short-seller is similar to an investigative journalist. Fahmi Quadir, the founder and CIO of Safkhet Capital, is known as the Assassin. Her notoriety proceeds her: Among her most well-known bets include short-selling Wirecard AG and Valeant. In today's conversation with Qaudir — recorded at our live show in London at Wilton's Music Hall — she dishes on what life is like for a short-seller, especially one as famous as her. In her mind, short-selling is only getting harder; it's a corner of finance that is facing an existential crisis, one whose value is questioned in what she calls a "golden age of fraud." She also tells us, that for the first time ever, she is going long with a focus on Korea that has nothing to do with the AI boom.

Size is the name of the game for the AI chipmaker Cerebras: Their chips are truly massive, about the size of a dinner plate. According to Andrew Feldman, CEO and founder of Cerebras, that is about 58 times larger than the average chip. That sheer size enables blazing fast inference for AI queries. Feldman joins us on the week of his company's IPO to talk about his core product and how it fits into the AI boom. We discuss the history of the GPU, competition between open-and closed-source models, the company's relationship with with TSMC, and more.

It is hard to have a markets conversation that isn't out of date within a minute or two. But we think this one, with Ozan Tarman and Aditya Singhal of Deutsche Bank, is basically evergreen. This conversation, recorded at our live show at Wilton's Music Hall in London, is all about fundamentals: How Tarman, DB's vice chair of global macro, and Singhal, the firm’s head of EM trading across rates, FX and Credit, make sense of conflicting headlines, whether the rally in tech stocks is to be believed, the tug of war between fast money and central bankers, and how traders are evaluating the difference between the AI models coming out of the US and China.
