The AI infrastructure bill is going to hit different this month. Between the compute costs skyrocketing and operational expenses piling up, a lot of projects are about to feel the squeeze. It's brutal when your server bills start eating into your runway. The market's about to see which platforms actually have the cash reserves to weather this, and which ones are just running on fumes. Reality check incoming.

Forget it, it should have come earlier. Those projects that burn money to buy hype through funding should fall behind.

Really, this time it depends on who truly has the resources; those who don't will just be paper tigers.

I heard that this wave of AI infrastructure costs will explode, and a bunch of projects will go bankrupt.

Another new reason to cut leeks? The surge in computing power costs is just clearing the field for big capital, small projects are doomed.

The computing power costs are really hitting hard this time. I see a bunch of projects starting to cut back and tighten up, haha.

The cost of computing power this time, really no one can avoid it. Small projects are probably going to fail.

Come on, it's another computing power arms race. Small projects are really going to face a tough time this round.

According to the data model in the white paper, the current surge in AI infrastructure costs essentially reflects the market's natural selection and governance mechanism. From the perspective of Token economics, projects that fail to implement proper financial incentive design were destined to be eliminated—this is not a bug, it's a feature.

The computing power cost is really about to reshuffle; let's see who can hold on.
