AI compute is moving, and $200B in research funding is being redirected
ctjlewis · x · 2026-07-24
The post argues that the AI industry should stop obsessing over the labs and instead focus on a few concrete tailwinds.
It highlights three developments as the most meaningful:
- government reallocation of $200B in research funding
- AMP Grid moving compute
- a YC compute cluster
The broader point is that new companies will emerge from this shift in funding and compute access.
