AI compute isn’t one thing. It’s two. Under the umbrella of “AI workloads,” training and inference represent distinct computational worlds with different goals, hardware profiles, and economics. They often get lumped together, but the split matters — especially as it relates to the compute capacities of the data centers that are used for these two different tasks. Understanding the divide …
