Key Quotes: 

“ And I believe everyone in the space, including AI and hyperscalers, are planning further ahead, as well. Partially because you have to, but you look at the consumption of some of these AI companies that are coming in and gobbling up all of the available inventory out there that meets their needs, it's just causing a lack of inventory to be available.”

“There's going to be a next wave from AI, more of the inference applications that are more of the edge applications that require lower latency and more real time compute and learning.”
