Compute Demand Will Rise Permanently
rudrank · x · 2026-07-17
The repost argues: The demand for compute is not a bubble; it reflects a permanent, incremental societal need for processing power.
The cited viewpoint makes the reasoning even more blunt: if the future holds 100 million robots, each needing to run its own 1T model and process multimodal data in real time, the required compute will be astronomically massive.
This reflects a long-term thesis:
- AGI, robotics, and multimodal tech will continuously drive up compute demand.
- The build-out of related infrastructure is likely far from peaking.
