The real AI alpha in 2025? It's not the models—it's the infrastructure.
Vantage Data Centers eyeing a $100B IPO. They don't train LLMs. They own the power, cooling, and physical space where AI actually runs.
Tesla + SpaceX dropping $16.8B on a Texas semiconductor factory. Why? To control their own chip supply instead of begging TSMC for capacity.
Here's the pattern: value always flows to whoever controls the scarce resource. Models are commoditizing fast. Energy, chips, and data center capacity? Still bottlenecked.
You can have the smartest model in the world. Means nothing if you can't plug it in.
For founders and capital allocators: stop chasing model hype. Follow the infrastructure. The companies owning the physical layer will capture more value than the ones dominating headlines.
Control the rails, not just the trains.
