Robotics and physical AI

Key predictions:

• We're in the GPT-2.5 moment for robotics. Capabilities are real, but the gap between lab performance and field deployment remains wide.
• Scaling laws are emerging. Data is expensive, capital is the moat. World models may be the shortcut.
• Talent concentration will crown winners quickly. This is not a market where 50 companies win.
• Near-term value will accrue to full-stack, vertically integrated players, not pure-play foundation model companies.
• Defense robotics will produce the first $50B+ IPOs in the category.
• There will be no robotics bubble. In fact, not enough capital is flowing into the industry.
