AI Chips & Inference Economics

GPUs, accelerators, and cost-per-token signals across the AI compute stack.

What you can do with this lens. Use it to turn a broad technology question into a source-linked workspace: momentum, share of coverage, and the connection map in one place. Everything below is a free public preview.

Best used when you need the shape of a whole space, not a read on one company or model.

Measured in this lens — a preview

Direction is a measurement (the trailing trend), not a recommendation. The full picture — momentum, share of coverage, connections, history and sources — is in the instrument.

Share of coverage across the AI Chips & Inference Economics preview topics listed above — the same instrument Compass runs on the lens's full membership. Open the lens for the full set, the momentum quadrant, and the connection map.

② Share of coverage over time
Each topic's share of this set's topic mentions, period by period (monthly). Absolute counts rise for everyone in a hot category, so share is what reveals whose grip is tightening or loosening. Each column sums to 100%, with the rest of the set folded into Others. One article can name several members of a set — a product family and one of its models, say — so it counts once toward each: read the bands one at a time rather than adding them together.

Every value here is a dated measurement of coverage within this set, drawn from the Enginerds corpus — the same panel of sources, read at the same steady pace, month after month. It reflects how much the press writes about each topic, not revenue, adoption, or market share. The conclusion stays yours.
