AI’s Memory Crisis Is Here: Don’t Hoard, Optimize
The AI industry's dirty secret: we've been masking architectural rot with brute-force compute. That ends now.
The KeyNews take
Why it matters
As GPU memory becomes the bottleneck instead of raw processing power, the industry faces a reckoning on efficiency—separating optimized builders from those relying on throwing hardware at problems.
