Presented by Gravitee Agent complexity is the insidious shadow lurking inside enterprises right now that needs a light shone on it. That’s because enterprises don't deploy a single agent and watch it run, they deploy fleets, each one calling APIs, calling other agents, reaching into applications that were never built with a machine decision-maker in mind. That's the failure mode that should keep you up at night: a windy, complicated system nobody can see clearly enough to govern.

To generate intelligence at scale, AI factories run continuously, and their economics are defined by delivered output: tokens per second, tokens per watt, cost per token, utilization and uptime. That requires AI infrastructure designed and built as a full factory, not a collection of individual accelerators. Hyperscalers and AI-native companies building custom XPUs must consider […]
The next era of AI inference won’t be defined by a single breakthrough chip, network or system. It’ll be defined by how every layer of the AI factory works together. That’s why NVIDIA is extending Vera Rubin NVL72 with fast token generation for agentic systems. Announced today, the NVIDIA Vera Rubin rack-scale system NVIDIA Groq […]
According to OpenRouter data, agentic AI workloads consume 15x more tokens than a simple chat request. Why? Consider what happens when an AI agent researches a company for an investment decision.

Every new generation of accelerated computing demands more from the infrastructure underneath it — more compute performance, higher rack density and more efficient, scalable power distribution.
