Models, agents and the infrastructure behind them.
Artificial intelligence spans model research, developer tooling, applied products and the compute layer underneath. It is the fastest-moving category on Huburb and the one most entangled with energy, semiconductors and data centre build-out.
A serving layer that sends each request to the cheapest model meeting a declared quality threshold rather than defaulting to the largest available model.

AI agents are software systems that use a language model to plan a sequence of steps and then take actions — calling tools, writing files, querying databases — instead of only producing text.
Large models trained on broad data that can be adapted to many downstream tasks rather than being built for one purpose.
The set of techniques — quantisation, batching, caching, distillation and specialised silicon — that reduce the cost and latency of running a trained model.
Eyewear with cameras, microphones, speakers and sometimes a display, used as a hands-free interface to an AI assistant.
The constraint on deploying AI agents in serious workflows is not capability but accountability. Audit trails, scoped permissions and approval steps are becoming the product.
SignalAs AI products reach volume, attention is shifting from training runs to the recurring cost of serving. Routing, compression and purpose-built silicon are where margin is won.
