The AI Stack
Equity Research for AI
Akyla covers the full five-layer AI stack: energy, chips, infrastructure, models, applications. We connect industry signals to company-level earnings, valuation, catalysts, and risk, with models and source materials built for deeper underwriting.

LAYER 02
Chips
Where electricity becomes compute
What we are testing

LAYER 01
Energy
Where the physical ceiling is set

The research architecture
An application cannot scale without models; models cannot scale without infrastructure; infrastructure cannot scale without chips; chips cannot run without power. We track the entire chain because a bottleneck in one layer changes the earnings power, bargaining leverage and valuation of every layer around it.
