The biggest bottleneck will be energy- very soon. Gartner's 2026 forecast puts global data center electricity at 565 TWh, up 26% from last year. AI servers already account for 31% of that and pass conventional servers in 2027. What's worth noting is the constraint Gartner

Local Models: 71.3% Accuracy, Reduced Cost (Stanford)
By
–
Narrative violation: according to a study by @Stanford, local models can accurately answer 71.3% of real-world chat and reasoning queries, compared to 23.2% in 2023. Obviously, at a fraction of the cost and energy consumption of cutting-edge APIs.

Energy determines AI model location, optimization still overlooked
By
–
Ultimately it will come down to energy. Local models will run at cost of electricity and cloud based (IQ-maxxing) will run in cloud and demand A LOT of energy. We also keep forgetting about optimization. We’ve only seen scale ramp up now, very little actual optimization
