15 AI stocks to watch outside of the Magnificent 7
Some investors may be wondering if they missed out on Nvidia's (NVDA) artificial intelligence (AI) run. Futurum CEO Daniel Newman joins Morning Brief to highlight 15 alternative AI plays, including Broadcom (AVGO), Palantir (PLTR), and Oracle (ORCL), that could benefit from the next wave of custom chip demand. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Morning Brief here. According to the Bank of America Global Fund Manager survey, Long Mag 7 is one of the most crowded trades on Wall Street, but my next guest has some alternative ways to play artificial intelligence. I want to bring in Dan Newman, who is the Futurum CEO. Great to have you here back in studio with us. Brad, good to see you. So let's talk about this because a lot of people have already piled into Mag 7, but. You believe that there are other places that are non-MG 7 that they could find some exposure to generative AI and this broader kind of thesis that's driven the market for the past two years. I mean there's been nothing that is, you know, deemed more attention than AI. You've seen just the news in the last couple of days, whether it's Microsoft wanting to, or sorry, Meta offering hundreds of millions of dollars to potential researchers to join. Their AI talent team or you know you saw Marvel came out yesterday with the custom AI silicon road map and their stock is popping. We could probably talk a little bit about that, um, but you're seeing it really across the board and then of course so many people have kind of felt like, well did I miss Nvidia and so the the the question I get asked most by, you know, by clients, by the, by retail investors and why we basically launched the Future on AI 15 which. Is the extended list beyond is what else is out there besides maybe Nvidia, Microsoft, and Meta. What are the plays, you know, and so you can hear about kind of what are the difference difference makers. So for instance, uh, companies like Evago, you know, Broadcom, um, you know, there's a $500 billion t we believe in the next 4 years for custom AI silicon, um. Nvidia's gonna get a lot of that, you know, Nvidia gets 92% of that market right now, we believe, but they're not going to keep 92% in our opinion. They're probably gonna fall to maybe 80%, 70%. So it still means Nvidia, by the way, can triple to $300 billion. There's gonna be $100 billion that's gonna go into custom. And so we have Avago, for instance, as our number two name to play because that $100 billion dollar opportunity that sits with the Google custom chips they're doing, it sits with custom chips that companies like OpenAI are planning to do. So that's one of the plays of course you've seen uh Brad TSMC. TSMC, you know, people think about it as a foundry and of course it's a very big name and there's a lot of dollars invested in it right now, but people don't always make that connection that whether it's invi making chips, metama chips, Microsoft and Amazon doing their custom chips, all of them are dependent right now on TSMC and as much as I think the US needs a strong intel, we aren't there yet. So right now TSMC. All the pricing power so it sits at the very top of our list. And then there's some eclectic names. I'll pause here, but basically there's eclectic names like Oracle that we put on there. You saw what a pop they've gotten, but they've absolutely nailed this AI transformation and they are in a perfect position. And just yesterday, XAI and Oracle made a big announcement together that they're going to be using Oracle's infrastructure to train XAI models.

I tested Meta Voice vs Gemini Live using 5 prompts — here's who won
Voice assistants are having a moment. Meta recently rolled out its new voice-powered Meta AI in a standalone app, while Google's Gemini Live now lets you have full back-and-forth conversations with the chatbot via Android or iOS. Both are designed to be natural, helpful and available in real time. But how do they actually stack up? To find out, I ran both Meta AI and Gemini Live through the same five real-life prompts right on my iPhone. No typing, just me talking to the bots the way I talk to a friend when I'm hungry, frazzled or in desperate need of entertainment for my kids. I judged them on speed, usefulness, follow-up ability and personality. Here's how each one performed. Prompt: 'I have chicken and spinach — what should I make for dinner?' Meta offered me a variety of options immediately, each of varying difficulty. The bot then asked me what I was in the mood for. From there, I said the pasta sounded good and it gave me the Live started with one idea only. Rather than giving me a variety of options to choose from, it asked me if I had any pasta on hand. When I said yes, but asked for something else, it offered a few Meta wins for coming up with the most ideas from the start rather than making me ask for more. Prompt: 'What's a fun and inexpensive way to celebrate the end of the school year?' Meta suggested a potluck picnic but also included a few other different activities to help me decide on the best Live also suggested a potluck and suggested 'everyone bring a dish,' which is basically the definition of a potluck. It did not elaborate on any other Meta wins for once again offering more ideas upfront rather than stopping at the first suggestion. Prompt: 'Can you give me a list of summer reading books? I'm a fan of Emily Henry.' Meta struggled with this and kept interrupting me. It kept saying 'Happy to help!' as I was talking. It suggested all of Emily Henry's books, which, as a fan of hers, I've already read. Finally, after a bit of prompting and a ton of pauses, I got a few suggestions. Gemini Live was equally bad. I told the bot I have read everything by the author Emily Henry and it immediately suggested one of her books. When prompted again, it suggested a few books by authors with a similar Meta wins by a hair. While both bots did not answer my prompt immediately, Meta at least came up with several better suggestions by the end of the conversation. Prompt: 'Can you tell me the top 5 news stories happening right now?' Meta immediately mentioned the breaking news story at the bottom of my computer screen and went into detail about it and other important news of the Live gave a brief overview of the news but didn't even mention the breaking news. It also did not dive as deep into the current news happening at the Meta wins for a more thorough and accurate dive into breaking news. Prompt: 'Tell me a joke that's appropriate for work.' Meta absolutely fell flat here. Nothing it said was funny or even a joke. One was just Live was basically an office comedian ready to give me joke after joke. They were corny, sure, but funny enough for an office Gemini Live wins for better humor and understanding the assignment. In the end, Meta Voice edged out Gemini Live, winning four out of five categories with stronger suggestions, faster follow-up and better real-time awareness. While Gemini delivered in the humor department (and still holds promise as a polished assistant backed by Google's ecosystem), it often required more prompting to get where I needed it to go. If you're looking for a voice assistant that jumps in with useful ideas without making you work for them, Meta is currently the better companion — even if its jokes could use a little work. While neither chatbot has much of a personality, they are both smart and responsive. Meta AI might be too responsive. Even if you close the app, the bot continues to talk, ready for another prompt.
