AI compute is the new oil and needs a new market, not just bigger data centers
The scarce resource in AI may be less about models alone and more about how compute gets priced, accessed and allocated.
- Treat compute access as a strategic product dependency, not a background cloud detail.
- Compare AI models by cost, latency, governance and contract fit, not only capability.
- Watch marketplaces and infrastructure deals because they may shape who can ship AI features reliably.
