• QumulusAI-backed Futurum Research analysis flags agentic AI lifting tokens per task 10-100x, raising cost volatility under per-token pricing.
• Reserved or owned infrastructure accounts for 66% of AI compute consumption, versus 19% for on-demand cloud.
• Survey of 824 AI decision-makers shows 59% primarily run workloads outside hyperscaler public clouds.
• Inference spending forecast to rise to USD 885 billion by 2030 from USD 120 billion in 2025.
• Report favors hybrid deployments, shifting predictable, high-volume inference from per-token services to reserved bare-metal capacity for cost control.
