A photo of Heidi Allan sitting on the forest floor and looking over her shoulder as a weka approaches from behind. Weka are flightless rail birds in NZ that are famously curious and like to grab at interesting loose items.

One of the extra challenges, when setting up a make-shift science desk on the forest floor on the West Coast of NZ's South Island, is stopping the curious local weka from pecking at or running off with your equipment.

We had to be constantly vigilant while Heidi was working.

WEKA: Make Tokens Flow with Memory-Like Storage Storage architecture becomes the invisible force determining whether AI deployments, now rapidly moving beyond pilot projects, generate profit or burn cash on throttled tokens.

AI inference is hitting a wall and storage is the hidden bottleneck.

WEKA and Solidigm explain why time to first token is the new metric that will define who scales profitably and who burns cash.
