Databricks is reportedly running out of GPUs as AI demand keeps rising

A post argues that Databricks’ GPU shortage is a sign of a broader AI infrastructure squeeze, not just a crypto narrative.

• It cites a report that Databricks, valued at $188 billion, is running out of GPUs across multiple regions and is nearly out of capacity in Asia.
• The company is reportedly raising billions because demand is growing faster than the infrastructure needed to serve it.
• The author frames this as a coming wave of pressure from more models, more inference, more agents, and more automated research.
• The conclusion: the bottleneck is affordable, accessible compute, and fragmented compute markets like Bittensor ($TAO) are positioned as a response to that bottleneck.
