2025 marks a historic inflection point: inference revenue has now surpassed training revenue. This shift fundamentally changes the economics of AI companies.
Training is episodic, capital-intensive, and a one-time investment ($150M+ for frontier models). Inference is continuous, user-facing, and generates ongoing operational revenue ($2.3B annually for leaders—15x training costs). This shift favors purpose-built inference chips over general-purpose GPUs.
