We have had this discussion for a decade regarding cloud hosting. There are definitely workloads and AI inference that you want to do in-house. Hosting these GPUs and models and setting up the interconnect and balancing it is really hard right now. It's not traditional infrastructure. It is exotic. Typical enterprise is at such a disadvantage to try and host this completely themselves. And models are constantly updating. And what models are you going to run? Six months ago, things that probably cost you a billion tokens probably cost you 50 to 100 million now, given how much more efficient models have gotten, or at least they cost that much. I don't know. It's just not a given.
