About this session

As AI workloads move from lab to production, the true cost of intelligence has become one of the most consequential decisions platform leaders face. This session presents Signal65's in-depth economic study of training and inference costs across CoreWeave and leading hyperscalers covering cloud economics, performance benchmarks, and multi-year TCO impact. The analysis goes beyond compute pricing to expose the hidden costs that compound at scale, and how infrastructure economics translate directly into token costs at production volume. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for evaluating fully-loaded economics across the complete training-to-inference lifecycle.
