We consider the large spin limit of the OPE coefficient for two maximal giant gravitons and a spinning operator with finite twist in planar super-Yang-Mills theory. Up to an overall normalization factor, this OPE coefficient exhibits a power-law scaling of the form . We provide strong evidence that the exponent is free from finite size corrections. Consequently, the all-loop asymptotic expression for the OPE coefficient can be used to determine exactly. We compute a conjectural expression for the scaling function for arbitrary values of the ’t Hooft coupling . At weak coupling, our result agrees perfectly with the available field-theoretic results up to three-loop order. At strong coupling, we present the first three orders as concrete predictions. We further provide the finite-coupling result and show that it interpolates smoothly between the weak- and strong-coupling regimes.
