AI is evolving fast, but the economics are breaking down. RK Anand, co-founder of Recogni, reveals the hidden crisis inside AI's explosive growth.

RK has spent his career building technology to power AI systems. From tokens to compute, he exposes the challenges in scaling AI profitably, and what it takes to fix the system.


In this episode, RK shares:

▫️ Why AI’s "token economy" no longer works

▫️ The real reason AI models are getting 100x more expensive

▫️ What it means when compute demand skyrockets

▫️ How to build AI infrastructure that won’t break the bank

▫️ Why energy and power are the biggest bottlenecks for AI


If you want to understand the real cost of AI, this is a must-watch.
