AI is no longer just about building better models.

Now the real competition is shifting toward infrastructure who has the most compute power, energy access and money to scale AI.

We are already seeing signs of this:

• OpenAI pushing Stargate
• Oracle expanding AI infrastructure
• SoftBank investing heavily
• Big tech companies spending record amounts on AI data centers

This could mean a few large companies end up controlling most advanced AI infrastructure, similar to cloud or telecom industries.But there’s also a chance the current AI spending boom is too big and could slow down later.Still one thing is becoming clear in AI access to compute and infrastructure may matter as much as the models themselves.

Will AI become controlled by a few big infrastructure players or can open-source AI keep things open?
