OpenAI slump to end RAM price surge
Investors are dumping OpenAI shares on secondary markets as demand pivots to Anthropic, potentially collapsing the "artificial" scarcity in the global DRAM market. The shift comes as OpenAI retreats from massive hardware commitments that previously strangled 40% of global memory production to fuel its $500 billion Stargate infrastructure project.
// ANALYSIS
OpenAI's cooling secondary market interest signals a broader reality check for its capital-intensive "Stargate" infrastructure play.
- –OpenAI’s retreat from DRAM letters of intent (LOI) is ending the 170% price surge that crippled consumer hardware markets in late 2025.
- –The pivot to Anthropic reflects investor preference for "leaner" enterprise growth over OpenAI's massive cash burn and multi-front expansion.
- –Google’s TurboQuant compression (6x memory reduction) makes OpenAI’s brute-force hardware hoarding strategy look increasingly obsolete.
- –Secondary market shares becoming "impossible to unload" suggests a valuation ceiling has been reached for the $850B+ AI giant.
- –Consumer RAM prices are finally stabilizing as the infrastructure "stranglehold" loosens, providing much-needed relief to local rig builders.
