Acquinox Capital says voluntary AI “pacing” shifts frontier-lab investment case to enterprise adoption, margins
Bitget2026/10/12 11:16- Acquinox Capital analysis flagged voluntary “pacing” of frontier AI as a catalyst for valuation resets across the AI value chain.
- Slower capability gains shift the bull case toward enterprise adoption, retention, API volume growth, and gross margin per token.
- Price competition intensifies, with OpenAI’s GPT-6 Luna at $0.10 per million input tokens versus DeepSeek V4-Pro at $0.1954.
- Compute demand likely rotates from training to inference, pressuring chipmakers tied to escalating training-run cadence.
- IPO underwriting risk rises as pacing adds cost and delays launches; Anthropic valued at $965 billion, OpenAI at $852 billion.
