Most AI pilots don't fail.
They never reach production.
The model works. The demo gets attention. Then governance, ownership, integration, and operations slow everything down.
Our CGO Brandon Omoregie breaks down why in this week's Valley Recap.
GTC has lots of side events, but the best rooms are where the AI infrastructure crowd shows up.

Grid timelines are now measured in years while hardware cycles turn in months. That gap is starting to strand capacity, fully built data centers waiting on electricity.
The competitive shift is subtle but decisive. Power is no longer a pass-through cost. It sets timelines, pricing, and who can scale at all. Land, generation, storage, then compute.
We break down why โdirt to tokenโ energy strategy is becoming the real bottleneck for AI infrastructure in 2026.

Meanwhile, hundreds of billions are already moving into land, power, cooling, and steel.
The real constraint isnโt chips anymore.
Itโs whether anyone can actually build whatโs been promised.
Weโre shifting from allocation to execution, from slides to physical infrastructure.

๐ Thanks to @IgniteGTM for hosting #AIInfraSummit SF.
One highlight: @shimonbd on why inference is a memory problemโnot a compute oneโand how memory-first architecture unlocks real-time AI at scale.
