2. AI Computing Market Overview
The Inference Inflection Point
The AI computing landscape has reached a critical inflection point: inference—not training—is now the dominant cost driver for generative AI deployments at scale. As foundation models proliferate across industries, the economics of inference have become the determining factor in commercial viability.
Market Size & Growth Trajectory
$106 billion market by 2025 (current year)
$255 billion by 2030, representing a 19% CAGR
The Mountain West region positioned to capture 7-9% of this market due to favorable power economics, cooling advantages, and strategic proximity to major interconnection points
Supply Constraints Creating Market Opportunity
Dwindling RTX 4090 inventories ahead of the anticipated 5090 launch (15-22% above MSRP premiums)
Cloud providers facing allocation limits, forcing capacity rationing
Enterprise deployment backlogs extending 6-8 months for traditional infrastructure providers
Pantheon's custom deployments at every level of the stack create long term speed and cost advantages that will continue to create new opportunities as this space grows.
3. Pantheon GPU Infrastructure Strategy
Economic Architecture
Cost-per-FLOP Optimization
RTX 4090 ($3.5 K) and 5090 ($4.5 K) deliver ≈ $5 per TFLOP of compute; H100 ($35 K) and H200 ($45 K) sit at $9-11 per TFLOP—about half the efficiency and 10× the upfront cost.
One or two consumer cards easily serve Llama-3 70B, Mixtral 8×22B, Stable Diffusion XL, Whisper-large, and similar jobs; at today’s H100 rental rates that pricing supports ~75 % gross margins.
Retrofitted ASIC Infrastructure
Leveraging pre-wired and network monitored 420v power distribution units
6 kW "wind-tunnel" fan systems repurposed from cryptocurrency mining installations
Removable GPU frame design enables rapid deployment and maintenance
Environmental Highlights
Redundant Cold-Aisle Containment
Custom-designed hot/cold separate system with climate differential monitoring
N+1 redundant top-exhaust fans for maximum airflow
Junction temperatures maintained below 71°C even at 40°C ambient conditions
Rapid Repair Protocol
5% spare inventory maintained on-site
Failed cards swapped in under 30 minutes with documented procedures
Mean time to recovery: 22 minutes (vs. industry standard of 4-6 hours)
Software-Defined Operations
Efficient Internal and Marketplace operations
Proprietary Bare Metal provisioning system rapidly deploys on multiple marketplaces:
RunPod, TensorDock, Shadeform, Akash, Direct
Idle capacity falls back to our Pod Based Rental API
Silicon Net Analysis software
Custom on QA system drives diagnosis and repair
