On-Demand Webinar
What’s Next for AI in 2026: From LLM Limits to Image Models
By:
Senior Director and Principal Analyst
Watch this webinar now or at a later time by registering above!
AI is entering its next phase — and the economics are getting harder to ignore.
As model performance plateaus and capital spending accelerates toward trillions of dollars, critical questions are emerging:
- Are AI models becoming commodified?
- Can hyperscale data center investments deliver acceptable returns?
- Will business value creation keep pace with infrastructure spending?
- What happens if efficiency gains reduce compute demand?
In this session, we explore:
- How AI model development is shifting — from frontier LLM scaling to miniature and world models
- Why image models may drive the next wave of commercial applications
- The real economics of AI data center buildout — including GPU life, utilization rates, and pricing sensitivity
- Four potential futures for AI adoption
This webinar provides a grounded, data-driven assessment of where AI is headed by 2026 — and what business leaders, investors, and technology strategists should do now to manage risk while positioning for upside.
Please Note:
- A copy of the presentation slides and the webinar recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
