The article discusses the rapid increase in AI token consumption and the resulting demand for compute resources. Despite significant capital expenditures for infrastructure, the author highlights constraints like electrical power and DRAM supply that could limit growth in AI capabilities. The piece predicts rising costs and evolving pricing models in response to these challenges.
