Evidence
- Confirmed commitments from 7 Japanese industrial leaders.
- Expansion of TAM from virtual/cloud AI to physical industrial robotics and national infrastructure.
- Nvidia moves beyond data centers into Japanese heavy industry. SoftBank and Hitachi are lead partners in the 'Physical AI' initiative. Trillion-dollar demand claim sets high bar for Aug 26 earnings guidance.
Risks
- Crowded positioning may already reflect the move
- Counter-catalyst could neutralize the thesis before window closes
Invalidated if
