Summary
Lucas and Luna dig into the shift from training AI models to running them at scale — inference. With NVIDIA up 2.7% in the last five days and AMD up 5%, they explore why inference is becoming the real profit engine for cloud providers. They walk through a concrete example: how a mid-size e-commerce company cut AI costs 40% by switching from GPU-heavy training instances to purpose-built inference chips from companies like Groq and Cerebras. They also discuss the geopolitical angle — the US Commerce Department's new export controls on inference chips, and what that means for AI adoption in Southeast Asia. Plus, a look at why inference margins are already compressing and which chip makers are best positioned for the next phase. All that, and a brief note on why the show stays ad-free. #AIInference #CloudEconomics #NVIDIA #AMD #Groq #Cerebras #ChipWars #AIHardware #TechTrends #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ArtificialIntelligence #CloudComputing #Semiconductors #ExportControls #InferenceCosts #TechStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
