AI labs may be running into serious compute constraints, according to this post.
- The author argues that the next major leap may be limited by the lack of affordable compute, unless costs rise substantially.
- Even Kimi K3 is described as expensive to run.
- OpenAI and SpaceXAI are said to be better positioned thanks to their infrastructure investments, while Nvidia benefits regardless of which lab ends up leading.
