Workload Types in AI Team Queries

The distribution of workload types reveals where teams are spending budget and where cost pressure is highest:

  • inference: 4 queries this month
  • training: 3 queries this month
  • fine-tuning: 1 queries this month

Market Interpretation

The concentration of H100 queries reflects the market reality: H100 remains the workhorse of production AI infrastructure, but teams are increasingly price-sensitive as Blackwell alternatives enter the market. The emergence of B200 and MI300X queries signals teams evaluating migration economics — a pattern GridStackHub sees in real-time that no public index captures.
