$500,000,000 on Tokens in a Single Month. Seriously? :-)

According to Axios, a single company spent half a billion dollars on tokens in one single month.

The main responsibility here obviously lies with those footing the bill: a rough ROI assessment should play a major role in the vast majority of AI projects.

To reach a positive ROI, short value chains help (in my view, too). It doesn’t necessarily help when reaching your goal creates dependencies on several companies that all individually need to get rich – or that need to find their way to an IPO and to profitability in the foreseeable future. :-)

At feld.ai, we build sovereign AI primarily for sovereignty reasons. But short value chains absolutely help the “return on investment” in our use cases: I’m convinced that our vertical integration (hardware, base services, delivery of the final result all the way to the customer) lets us be extremely competitive at the right volumes.
