Expanding Total Addressable Market (TAM) for AI

• 🎯 The Total Addressable Market (TAM) for AI is expanding, moving from one-shot models like ChatGPT to more complex, long-reasoning models.
• 🧠 This shift requires more compute power, leading to better answers and a larger market for AI solutions.
• ⚡ While TAM expansion lifts many boats, the increasing difficulty and compute demands for AI favor leaders in GPUs and custom ASICs.

Broadcom's Diversified Business Model
