Summary
Inference now drives most AI spending, shifting the primary constraint from compute to memory bandwidth and storage throughput. Enterprises must design balanced systems that treat data movement as the core challenge. New tiers for KV cache and smarter hierarchies from Meta, NVIDIA, and Samsung show the path forward. Success belongs to those who minimize friction in data access.
Bubble analysis
This article discusses technical bottlenecks in AI infrastructure rather than investment or capital flows. It provides no specific figures on valuations, capex, or funding, so it has little bearing on the bubble question.
