Prediction: AI training and inference move to the edge, miners chasing cheap energy like Bitcoin

constreborn highlights jondurbin's talk arguing that AI training and inference will eventually run at the edge, operated by miners who seek out cheap energy wells much like Bitcoin mining. The vision points to decentralized compute: instead of centralized data centers, compute supply self-organizes wherever energy costs are lowest.
