The Token Tsunami: Infrastructure Bets That Win in 2026

abstract background

The agents have arrived and they're hungry. Every token has a price, and agentic AI is sending the bill soaring. This session decodes the token tsunami: where agentic demand is headed, how costs shift across model families and tasks, and how AMD delivers leadership performance and TCO at every tier, closing with strategic guidance from Gartner's VP Analyst for AI infrastructure. Make the infrastructure bets that win in 2026. Don't just ride the wave - provision for it.
