SemiAnalysis argues the 2026 GPU compute squeeze differs structurally from 2023 because demand is now driven by agentic AI workloads rather than model training, with enterprise token spend becoming a real budget line item.

Claims

The current GPU compute squeeze is not a repeat of the 2023 training-led demand surge.
AI compute demand has shifted structurally from model training to agentic workloads.
Token spend has moved from a curiosity to a real enterprise cost line item.

Key quotes

The demand side is no longer training-led, its agentic, and our internal SemiAnalysis usage is one of many examples where token spend has moved from a curiosity to a real line item.
