AI shifts to inference as costs rise, memory constraints emerge, researcher says
What happened
AI infrastructure demand is shifting from training to inference due to rising costs and memory constraints, according to researchers. This transition will reshape computing demand patterns and place different requirements on hardware. Watch: This could alter long-term demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and specialized AI accelerators, but lacks immediate price or supply specifics.
