Part 1. VOI and KOI: Metrics for the Token Economy — Maximizing AI's Result per Dollar Series

Part 1. VOI and KOI: Metrics for the Token Economy — Maximizing AI's Result per Dollar

Tokenmaxxing is turning AI usage into an internal score, and infrastructure cost is running away. I look at model routers as the first line of defense, their blind spot, and the shift from input-driven to outcome-driven routing with two metrics — VOI and KOI — and an open-source tool, Nishiki.

From Semiconductors to Gold, Real Estate, and Subprime: The Financialization and Risk of AI Infrastructure Insight

From Semiconductors to Gold, Real Estate, and Subprime: The Financialization and Risk of AI Infrastructure

GPUs and ASICs are turning from parts into a store of value, then real estate, then leveraged financial products. I trace CoreWeave, SPVs, and the move into leveraged loans and CLOs, and check the structural similarities to the 2008 subprime crisis with a calm eye on the risk.
