ABSTRACT

As Big Tech burns $655 billion on power grids, we are hitting the 'Efficiency Wall.' Khan argues that the next 1,000x leap in AI capability will come from 'Agentic Efficiency' and specialized Small Language Models (SLMs) rather than brute-force scaling. We look at why companies like Liquid AI are winning by betting on device-native, physical AI over massive cloud-clusters.
