For ASX investors, its findings will raise eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1779179182_457_.jpeg\" class=\"mb-2\"\/><\/p>\n<p>SemiAnalysis founder Dylan Patel at the Daytona Compute Conference in March.<br \/>\nDaytona. <\/p>\n<p>It may have started life as a Discord channel only six years ago, but American research house SemiAnalysis has quickly become one of the most influential sources of information about the AI industry.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months it has been namechecked by everyone from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to CNBC presenter Jim Cramer who, as prominent US publication The Information reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinformation.com\/articles\/dylan-patel-semianalysis-grabbed-sway-silicon-valley?rc=e3yjoh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">in its profile<\/a> of the outfit last month, described SemiAnalysis as \u201cthe arbiter. They\u2019re like God\u201d of AI.<\/p>\n<p>So with industry leaders and global fund managers now using its research to guide AI chip spending and investment decisions, the SemiAnalysis verdict on the new crop of Australian AI companies rising to prominence carries considerable weight.
