Part 7/9:
Despite its ambitious nature, Project Stargate is shrouded in uncertainty. The tech industry has historically cycled through booms and busts, and there are fears that an overabundance of data centers could lead to a downturn. Even prominent players are scraping the surface, attempting to gauge if there is a genuine market demand for the levels of computing power being generated.
Notably, some analysts speculate about alternatives to the massive infrastructure build, citing companies like DeepSeek that have demonstrated success with more efficient models requiring less computational power. The validity of such models could reshape the landscape of AI development, leading to questions about whether the industry is overbuilding to serve its inflated ambitions.
