The Untold Infrastructure of the AI Revolution: Hidden Leaders Powering the Next Economy

The dawn of the internet era in the early 2000s was marked by a wave of optimism and innovation, but also by significant inefficiencies. Companies like pets.com and hospital.com reflected a burgeoning but unprofitable industry, with the entire internet sector valued at roughly $20-30 billion at its peak. Fast forward to today, and the landscape is markedly different: even without the influence of AI giants like OpenAI or Anthropic, today's hyperscale industry is virtually fueled by AI-driven infrastructure. This evolution signals a fundamental shift from classical CPUs and traditional machine learning toward deep learning and AI at an industrial scale.
