Why Cheaper AI Is Costing More
1. H100 rental crashed from ~$8/hr to a $1.70 trough by Oct ’25, then rebounded ~40% to $2.35 by early 2026 as scarcity bit
2.Token prices fell ~280x in two years, yet enterprise AI spend rose ~320%.

@sriramk @aarthir He was truly one of a kind — thoughtful, gracious, and an exceptionally kind human being. His impact on so many founders, operators, colleagues, and friends will endure for a long time.

$3 trillion of enterprisedata cannot move, cannot be copied, and cannot wait! The AI industry was built on the opposite assumption. #Training is no longer the story. #Inference now accounts for 72-80% of AI compute spend, up from 15% in 2020

🚀 DeepSeek-OCR — the new frontier of OCR from @deepseek_ai , exploring optical context compression for LLMs, is running blazingly fast on vLLM ⚡ (~2500 tokens/s on A100-40G) — powered by vllm==0.8.5 for day-0 model support.

🧠 Compresses visual contexts up to 20× while keeping 97% OCR accuracy at <10×.
📄 Outperforms GOT-OCR2.0 & MinerU2.0 on OmniDocBench using fewer vision tokens.

🤝 The vLLM team is working with DeepSeek to bring official DeepSeek-OCR support into the next vLLM release — making multimodal inference even faster and easier to scale.

When I’m invited to give an on-stage appearance, I try my best to be insightful *and* entertaining. The audience deserves that. One mentor I had told me in 1992 that I needed to do that even if I needed to “set my hair on fire”. Thankfully for the Cloudera SKO I didn’t have to. Was happy to see most were looking up versus down, a key indicator for me to gauge how much the audience is staying with me. Thanks @RickyAbhas for the great conversation and Charles and Frank for the invite.

We're excited to announce the Cloudera Model Registry is generally available! Model Registry will revolutionize #MachineLearning model management in production environments.

It will empower both experienced and new data scientists. Check it out. https://t.co/crdSBNHCno

[Cloudera @cloudera]

AI can revolutionize the customer experience in the financial sector. But scattered data among different clouds and on-premises environments and security and regulatory requirements make it difficult for AI models to access this data at scale and on demand.

You want interoperability? Well, how about a #hybrid #cloud strategy between @cloudera &amp; @SnowflakeDB? That's where everyone's headed with @TheASF #Iceberg table format. Use #data in Cloudera w/ Snowflake engine. Even visa versa. Pretty cool, @RickyAbhas! #Evolve24 #AI #bigdata
