Semianalysis 🚀 - go to Newsletter.
Dylan Patel may have left Substack, but that’s more a credit to his success than anything else. His deep dives are still very much followed in understanding AI at the intersection of semiconductors, Nvidia, datacenters, AI Infrastructure and AI chips.
Dylan Patel is Chief Analyst and founder of SemiAnalysis, a boutique research and consulting firm focused on semiconductors and data center infrastructure. He’s basically the world’s biggest AI hardware nerd.
His Newsletter brings him hundreds of thousands (millions?) of dollars worth of of leads to his boutique consulting business. Not hard to argue that he’s the current 2025 GOAT of Semiconductor AI analysis.

Latent Space is among the fastest growing paid AI focused Newsletter on Subtack in early 2025.

An Educator, entrepreneur and author, he runs hackathons for AI engineers and manages communities. Before becoming a software engineer and an AI engineer, he started off in Finance. I think his writing is mostly geared at software developers and ML engineers.
