Nauti's Take
For AI teams, the practical move is to measure the storage layer of their workflows more closely. Data volume, read traffic, and cost per user are becoming planning variables alongside GPU time.
Bloomberg’s brief report leaves capacity, timing, and pricing effects unverified, so teams should avoid long-term infrastructure assumptions until more details emerge.
