The argument reframes inference as infrastructure policy: startups building on APIs depend on vendors who can commit capacity they control, not residual GPUs left over after a lab's own training runs. Founders choosing compute partners and investors evaluating moats should press vendors on allocation guarantees and cost curves. The historical parallel to public cloud displacing colocation suggests owning datacentres is not the winning strategy.

Meta Turns Idle Inference Capacity Into Better Ads Recommendations
The approach treats spare inference capacity as schedulable inventory rather than waste, a pattern applicable to any team running large GPU fleets with bursty traffic. Engineers building recommendation or batch inference pipelines can borrow the elasticity-lever design to soak background workloads into surplus capacity. It also shows how Meta converts infrastructure efficiency directly into ranking quality for its ads business.
