AI Inference Economy

Fact

The business math around the cost and revenue of AI answers.

In Plain Words

It is the meter running inside every AI answer. The bot says “sure,” and a power bill and GPU bill high-five.

It matters for chat and search. It matters even more for Agents. More use is great only if each call still makes money.
