    $AAOI --- In late March and early April, $AAOI issued consecutive announcements revealing it had won a massive $71 million new order for 800G single-mode optical transceivers from a top North American internet giant (widely speculated to be Amazon AWS or Microsoft). Critically, management confirmed the first batch of 800G products entered volume shipment in Q1, marking the company's official entry into the world's highest-end AI optical communications supply chain. On April 17, $AAOI announced it will expand its manufacturing footprint to 900,000 square feet in Pearland, Texas via acquisition and leasing of adjacent facilities. Exiting Q1, its 800G transceiver monthly production capacity reached 100,000 units — this expansion is explicitly built to meet exploding order demand from AI customers. On April 29, the State of Texas awarded $AAOI $20.85 million in semiconductor innovation fund grants to support its domestic advanced photonic chip manufacturing in Sugar Land. This not only eases significant R&D and facility buildout capital pressure, but also underscores its strategic position in the U.S. domestic manufacturing ecosystem. 1. The Ultimate AI Compute Bottleneck: The Copper-to-Optical Upgrade (800G / 1.6T) Global data centers are currently undergoing a generational upgrade supercycle, shifting from 400G to 800G and even 1.6T optical transceivers. AAOI is one of the most direct beneficiaries of this hardware refresh cycle. As AI chip compute power from giants like NVIDIA grows exponentially, traditional copper transmission can no longer support the massive, ultra-high-speed data exchange required inside hyperscale data centers. Optical transceivers — devices that convert electrical signals to optical signals — have become the critical throughput bottleneck for AI server clusters. 2. Vertical Integration Breaks Gross Margin Ceilings Unlike many transceiver vendors that only perform final assembly, AAOI has in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities for photonic (laser) chips. Competitive advantage: Amid industry-wide supply shortages, owning upstream chip capacity means no supply bottlenecks. And as scale effects kick in from higher shipments in H2, its previously criticized high fixed costs will be heavily diluted, with Non-GAAP net income expected to swing rapidly to profitability in Q2 and Q3 this year. 3.3. Dual Engine Growth: CATV Broadband + Data Center Beyond AI data centers, AAOI's legacy stronghold — cable broadband networks (HFC/CATV) — is also entering a cyclical recovery. On May 12, the company announced a deep partnership with U.S. broadband giant Mediacom to roll out its full DOCSIS 4.0 network upgrade program. This stable legacy business provides a solid base of recurring, predictable cash flow.

    @awscloud No duh. Especially when you don't have people capable of actually analyzing the code for issues before deploying it. Operating under the "fix it later" instead of running QA. And maybe actually hire American programmers.

    @awscloud AWS is honestly a massive disappointment. You sign up, then discover basic customer support is locked behind a paid plan. Isn’t support supposed to be the most basic part of a cloud service? I didn’t pay for premium support, so a simple SES email permission request has been ignored for three days. I genuinely don’t understand how this is the world’s No.1 cloud provider. This experience is terrible.

    I had this exact problem with a Oled monitor i ordered @amazon @awscloud . Fix your **** Amazon!!! Have severe punishments for these people so they never do this ****. The driver got out with my orderer, and just got right back in the van. I said what are you doing? He said, i have to go pee so i was in a hurry? Wtf kind of Bullshit excuse is that while delivering something for someone thats %600

    @_JX14_ @irshit0 @awscloud This does not work as you expect. First ai is dumb, it can't remember things other months let alone years, second, it hallucinate, there is no fix for that yet. It also write convoluted code that "may" not work. Data leaks will exploded in the coming years...

    Today i got email from AWS that they can't approve my request for **** SES no explanation at all, only generic "During our evaluation, we identified some concerns that prevent us from approving your request. Due to security reasons, we are unable to provide specific details about our assessment criteria." has anyone had to deal with this? All i wanna use the SES for is transactional mails like verification, reset, notifications about your account etc @awscloud @AWSSupport Can you please help? At least tell me what's wrong so i can fix it, i genuinely have no idea

    I’m using @anthropic opus 4.8. With @awscloud Kiro. I have rules in my README that say only use Bash. But it ignored my instructions and said sorry I used Python after using a lot of tokens t do something I didn’t want it to do. I feel like I should get those tokens refunded: this is the kind of thing that unexpectedly wastes money and time and tokens unnecessarily. I can’t make the instructions any clearer. Stuff like that is so annoying. But I’m still writing code way faster. The problem is I got a $20 plan and used it up in a few hours. I tried switching back to 4.6 but seemed like the same results for code written. It’s like everything got more expensive after the new model showed up. Or maybe I really was just making that big of a change. I had to just up the subscription to $40. I’ve already spent a bunch of money on other subscriptions and got incorrectly billed $200 in tokens I couldn’t use this month (working on getting that refunded). So you can do the math. $40 per day x 31 = $1240. But people are using multiple agents. I could spin up an army of agents to write code for me if it didn’t cost so much. Who is going to win this game? As a single developer I’m seeking ways to reduce token usage (or whatever the billing metric is) and mistakes by agents like this one feel so unfair. It clearly was not what I asked for. Whether I fix it or the agent notices its mistake after the fact and fixes it without telling me it’s still going to cost the same. Bottom line is that I can produce a lot but it also costs me a lot and so far I haven’t found a way around that besides writing deterministic code. I have to get the thing built I want to make me money before I spend it all on AI tokens. But right now the agent is making mistakes and getting stuck on things I’m doing that I guess are unique and the agent hasn’t seen too much before. It writes code and can’t figure out what it did wrong, AWS shared networking with VPC endpoints and organizations delegated admins and such I’m getting around that (without giving up full access to my cloud account) by creating verification queries and code but then the agent doesn’t follow the existing file structure and uses the wrong language without at least asking…*sigh* Also it seems like the verification code is burning tokens like a wildfire out of control. Not sure how this is going to work out. I hope there’s not some issue like someone else siphoning off tokens behind the scenes or some other weird problem like the previous nerf issue.

    I went to the @awscloud in Mumbai yesterday. I'd been once before, and the reason I go is simple: AWS is the largest cloud player, and I want to see where the industry is actually heading and not where the blog posts say it is. I'll be honest about how the day started. Registered attendees were not let in until 1:30 PM. I reached by 11 after a train delay, planning to walk the AWS Village first. Instead I stood outside for two hours in 45°C heat. I wasn't alone - a sponsor next to me had flown in from the US and told the guard he'd paid $50,000 to be there. Didn't matter. The guard was honest and only following orders, so I don't blame him; the problem sat higher up. A few presenters gave up and left for other work, so the schedule on the site stopped matching reality. Once I got in, I was deliberate about where I spent the time. I went straight to the AWS for Financial Services booth - my first time there, and I'd planned for it. I saw the merchant onboarding flow, loan processing that runs in about three seconds once you upload your documents, and how customer-interaction data gets fed back to sharpen their recommendation models. This is the part of finance I actually care about. Then the Anthropic session, which was the one I came for. Three things stuck with me. // India is the second-largest country using Claude Code, behind only the US. Given that we produce most of the world's software engineers, the size of the gap that's still open says more about the opportunity than anything else I heard that day. // Business and finance was barely 2–3% of all usage, far behind computer and mathematical work. I walked in expecting that number to be high. It wasn't, and that surprised me more than any of the headline stats. // And the point I keep coming back to: agents are designed to ask for help on purpose. We say we want full autonomy, but the engineering choice to make an agent stop and request human context is exactly what makes it usable. I hadn't thought in that way before. Three things speaker (Sorry Idk the name :) said to act on: • Pick the boundary problem, • Invest in context and capability, • Start where you are - you don't need to reinvent anything. One last thing, nothing to do with the summit. On the train back to Nashik, a senior from my college got on one station after me - he's interning in Mumbai and was also heading home. Completely by chance, same train, same destination. Small world.
