Beyond model quality: cheaper, faster inference may decide the AI race — why OpenAI's full-stack bet matters
VraserX · x · 2026-08-25
The author argues the AI race won't be decided by the smartest model alone, but by who can run intelligence faster, cheaper, and at massive scale. That's why OpenAI getting serious about the full stack — models, infrastructure, and chips — is a big deal, and why he believes OpenAI will win. He asks readers: what matters more now, better models or cheaper inference?
