The 2030 Compute Landscape: GPUs, Power and the Architecture of Intelligence
Training compute is growing five times a year and the power behind it is doubling. What the arithmetic says about 2030, who has already contracted the gigawatts, and which silicon will carry the load.
The constraint on AI is no longer ideas or data but compute and the power to run it. Frontier training compute has grown about five times a year since 2020, and the leading AI supercomputer of June 2030 is on course for about 2 million chips and 9 gigawatts. Shayne Heffernan sets out the 2030 arithmetic, the power problem, who has already contracted the gigawatts, and how GPUs, custom ASICs, wafer-scale engines and quantum machines divide the work.
On 19 July 2026 the Round Table's AI room published its first Analyst Outlook. To the 16 October 2026 close its 13 names rose 2.6% on an equal weight against 2.1% for QQQ, per StockAnalysis closes, and the six it opened with 35% or more of upside rose 8.6%. This piece lists the six names up more than 5%, the ten names I rate as opportunities now, the month's results in AI and quantum computing, and the official data showing that four in five firms have not yet started using AI.

Earnings, the Economic Calendar and Trading Strategies: September 8 to 12, 2026
A four-session week decides more than a print. Oracle reports after the close on Thursday 10 September, PPI lands that morning and CPI on Friday, with the ECB in between and the FOMC eight days out. Oracle is the last hyperscaler of the cycle and the widest value gap on the KXCO Ontology Live Analyst Outlook layer: a $457bn market value under a $638bn contracted backlog. Here is the calendar, the graph behind it, the levels and the book.

Week Ahead on Wall Street: CPI, Banks and Oil
September CPI lands on Wednesday after a Fed hike and a 10-year yield at its highest since 2002. JPMorgan, Goldman and Citi open bank earnings on Tuesday, ASML and TSMC report midweek, and Saudi pipeline attacks kept Brent at $104.72 on 9 October 2026, per CNBC. The KXCO AI Sector Ontology still shows contracted demand. This week ahead sets out the calendar, the three facts that would change the call, and why dips in the AI leaders remain buying opportunities.

KXCO's New Names, Explained
Sentinel became Portcullis, Treasury became Sovereign and Meridian became Guildhall when KXCO brought its products into one family of seven, the House, on 9 October 2026. This guide explains what each name means and where it comes from, maps every former name to the product or module it became, shows how the seven connect, and lists what did not change: the addresses redirect, the packages and the chain keep their names.

Thoughts on Thinking: Physics, Biology and Thought
Thinking is not a faculty that sits on top of the body. It is the electrochemical activity of neurons, organised into rhythms whose frequencies are set by the time constants of channels, synapses and loops. Diet, light, noise, natural settings and 40 Hz drive can shift the balance, and an MIT study of essay writing found the weakest EEG connectivity in the group using a language model. The tools and the biology work on one resource: the capacity of a named person to form and defend a judgment.

How to Retire and Grow Your Own Food
A full guide to retiring onto land that feeds you. USDA puts Ozark pasture at $3,500 an acre. Eurostat puts Latvian arable at 4,825 euro a hectare, though Bulgaria and Romania bar non-EU buyers outright. Thailand will not sell a foreigner an acre at any price. Inside: what the build really costs, which crops pay the bills, how many eggs a hen gives, how to can without killing anyone, a 36 month startup sequence, and how to check every number here.
