Capex (Capital Expenditure)
Long-term investment spending by companies on physical assets like data centers, GPU clusters, and networking infrastructure — the backbone of AI deployment at scale.
Data Center
A facility housing computer systems and infrastructure used to process, store, and distribute data — increasingly built specifically for AI training and inference workloads.
Fine-Tuning
The process of further training a pre-trained AI model on a specific, smaller dataset to specialize it for a particular task or domain, requiring far less compute than training from scratch.
Foundation Model
A large AI model trained on broad data that can be adapted to a wide range of downstream tasks — examples include GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and Llama.
Frontier Model
The most capable and advanced AI models at any given time, typically trained with the largest compute budgets and achieving state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks.
