The Compute-to-Cashflow Gap
The AI industry is shifting from celebrating large compute budgets to hunting for efficiency. Your competitive advantage is no longer your GPU count, but your cost-per-inference.
· StrategyThe Reliability Tax: Why Cheap GPUs Cost More
In the Llama 3 training run, Meta experienced 419 failures in 54 days. This post breaks down the unit economics of 'Badput' - the compute time lost to crashes - and why reliability is the only deflationary force in AI.
