Narratives move quickly. Markets respond to stories. Investors react to headlines. Technology cycles often begin with excitement about new capabilities. AI is no exception. In the early stage of the AI boom, the dominant narrative focused on soft...

In the early phase of the AI cycle, capital concentrated around GPUs. Compute was the primary constraint. Training large models required massive parallel processing power. Whoever controlled the compute layer controlled the trade. That...
