AI Progress is Speeding Up. Will You Fall Behind? Will Asia?

The AI race is accelerating dramatically. Major releases include Google Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude 4, and XAI Grok 3.5, with XAI using 10x more compute than competitors—200,000 GPUs. XAI will get to1 million next-gen GPUs requiring a gigawatt of power within 9 months. A decade or so from a billion chips and 1 terawatt data centers. These massive power demands are driving major energy deals with Saudi Arabia, Canada, and the US, reshaping global geopolitics. Meanwhile, AI Agents are transforming business—Microsoft's CEO predicts business logic will migrate from software to AI Agents. This rapid transformation demands new adaptation strategies for both nations and individuals.
