If AI reaches true human level software engineering capability, a single high end GPU becomes worth $250K+ a year (15x today’s spot rates)

The leftover high value work like the agents, mid level inference, fine tunes and anything still useful but no longer wanted by the big labs will have only few flexible places left to go.

@akashnet already making 3x more money per lease from exactly that leftover demand, even though the number of leases stays flat. The fixed 20% take + BME turns every extra dollar of that rent into direct cash for stakers and real buy & burn pressure on $AKT

July’s higher intensity is the first clear signal that this scarcity is starting cuz when compute gets 10x more expensive, this is where the overflow will land.
