AI Chip Market Evolution Part 1: Cloud AI Training and Inference
Executive Summary The AI chip market is undergoing significant transformations, which can be understood through two key dimensions: deployment environments (cloud vs. edge) and market segments (training vs. inference). Cloud-based training currently dominates the market and is expected to maintain strong growth in the future. Training is critical for AI model development, requiring immense computational power to process vast amounts of data, which is why it is primarily concentrated in cloud data centers. NVIDIA is
