Why this is canonical

As AI infrastructure spending reaches unprecedented scale, the discipline of understanding its economics — unit economics of GPU clusters, total cost of inference, capital allocation in AI buildouts, and returns on infrastructure investment — becomes a first-order strategic concern. 'Infrastructure economics' on .ai is the natural coordinate for the firms, analysts, and platforms that own that conversation.
