The big AI question isn’t which model you can use.

It’s whether you can get the compute to build at all.

Trillions of dollars of data centers are in the pipeline. But they’re built mostly for buyers who sign 3-year commitments.

If you’re a researcher who needs 8 GPUs for three weeks, a startup validating a product, or a company without massive budgets, you’re locked out.

More capacity under the same access model just means the same gap, only bigger.
