Lucas and Luna explore a new wave of AI inference cost reductions driven by specialized hardware and model distillation. With NVIDIA stock down 1.7% in a week and AMD off 10.2%, they examine how custom AI chips and smaller models are reshaping the economics of running AI workloads. Luna brings data from a recent report showing inference costs dropping 60% year-over-year for common tasks. Lucas explains why this matters for enterprise adoption and which companies are positioned to benefit. They also discuss the strategic implications for cloud providers and AI startups. The episode ties back to the July 2026 market environment, referencing recent moves in semiconductor stocks and the broader tech landscape.
