This week, 20VC examined the infrastructure reshaping AI's competitive landscape, moving beyond model development to the foundational resources that will determine real winners in the space. From electricity and energy sovereignty to the emerging divide between open and frontier models, the episodes reveal a critical tension: while some argue AI capex is overblown, others suggest we're only beginning to understand the true cost of scaling intelligence. The week underscored that the next phase of AI competition won't be won in research labs alone, but in solving the unglamorous problems of power, deployment, and practical enterprise integration.
