Corporate America Is Starting to Ration AI as Cost Skyrockets | Hacker News

Corporate leaders are growing more cautious about AI spending as inference and hardware costs remain high.

The discussion around a WSJ article says some businesses are already rationing AI use because current pricing is too expensive.

Others argue that efficiency gains could sharply reduce AI costs in the next few years, changing the outlook for enterprise adoption.

The outcome matters because falling inference costs could speed up AI deployment, while persistent high costs could delay or cut back enterprise plans.
