Key Takeaways
- Physical AI is reshaping inference, networking and infrastructure economics as intelligence moves into robots and edge devices.

- I can now have better security on top of the GPUs that I already have, which means as a provider, I get to monetize every second of my infrastructure.
- , as part of theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Robotics & AI Infra Leaders event , during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio.
They examined the infrastructure, economics and technology required to move AI into the physical world .
- "In general, agentic workloads consume exponentially more tokens than the chat workloads everyone was using a year ago because it's all inherently multi-turn," he said.
"And every time you ask your agent a follow-up or it uses some tool like web search or maybe it searches your code base, it has to reprocess all previous tokens in your conversation, which really causes total tokens produced/processed to go up exponentially.
- " As physical AI moves into factories, vehicles and distributed environments, infrastructure providers need more than faster accelerators.

Rafay Systems is addressing those demands through orchestration that lets providers offer open models without dedicating entire GPU systems to individual customers, potentially lowering enterprise AI costs while protecting sensitive information, according to Haseeb Budhani (pictured, right), co-founder and chief executive officer of Rafay Systems Inc. "The serverless part at the infrastructure level, we've solved that ... we've done for a while," Budhani said.
They like that because they look at the total cost of ownership, they look at the capex and they don't have the big money. This allows them to have a secure solution, which actually delivers a better price point. " Budhani, Eiman Ebrahimi (left), CEO of Protopia AI Inc.
