Central banks including the BIS have flagged risks from hyperscaler AI capex exceeding $1 trillion through 2026, drawing parallels to past manias and warning of potential investment reversals or recession if returns disappoint. Recent analyst notes highlight mounting debt for data centers, falling token prices amid competition from Chinese models, and a looming "compute commencement wall" of higher costs in 2027. AI lab CEOs have publicly urged slowing frontier development over safety concerns, triggering stock volatility, while ongoing releases like GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 underscore competitive intensity. Traders are watching earnings, regulatory signals, and adoption metrics for signs of sustained revenue or abrupt pullback.
