We are racing toward Cognitive AI systems designed for continual learning, cross-domain transfer, and meta-learning across a lifetime. Yet this ambition collides directly with the energy obstacle. The next wave of breakthroughs will not come from brute-force compute scaling—it will come from smarter, physics-constrained compute.
