NVIDIA's vice president of applied deep learning, Bryan Catanzaro, said something in an Axios interview in April 2026 that should have stopped every enterprise AI roadmap cold:
"For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees."

But most companies missed the signal. They were too busy tokenmaxxing.
