Critical Dependencies
A distinct category of AI accelerator architecture optimized for running trained models efficiently (inference) rather than training them, as industry focus shifts from training-scale compute toward reducing per-token inference cost, latency and power. NVIDIA holds an estimated 80-85% of data-center AI accelerator revenue in 2026 (down from about 92% in 2023), while independent inference-specialist architectures gained validation: Groq was acquired for $20 billion in December 2025, and Cerebras went public in May 2026 at a roughly $56 billion fully diluted valuation, the largest US tech IPO since Snowflake in 2020. ASICs and custom accelerators are projected to grow inference capacity 22% in 2026, outpacing general-purpose GPUs (19%).
