Why AI inference must become a commodity

Strategic commentary on the long-term economics of AI inference hardware and the buildout. Argues commoditization of inference (lower costs, wider availability) is inevitable and ultimately value-creating, not destructive—a framing that shapes how practitioners think about chip strategy and cloud compute economics.

Australia has a secret weapon in the race for AI compute

As AI compute demand outpaces power grids globally, Australia's vast renewable capacity (solar, wind, geothermal potential) becomes strategic infrastructure. This shifts the compute buildout geography and forces practitioners and cloud providers to reconsider regional deployment and power sourcing.
