A venture capitalist predicts that AI inference will soon consume 70% of computing power, up from its current 50%, while training will decrease to 30%. This shift is driven by the increasing use of intelligent agents over simple chatbots. The VC also highlighted that communication within data centers consumes significantly more energy than computation itself, suggesting a critical need for advancements in optical communication technologies. Furthermore, the focus is moving towards acquiring high-quality, real-world data, particularly in sectors like healthcare, rather than solely pursuing larger models. AI
