Blackwell Becoming The Baseline

- Nvidia's Blackwell platform is being adopted as the reference hardware for long‑context and cost‑sensitive AI inference, with partners tuning models specifically for the architecture. - Examples include DeepSeek V4 being built for million‑token inference on Blackwell and OpenAI reportedly deploying GPT‑5.5 Codex across Blackwell systems with large efficiency claims. - Vendors and newsrooms frame the shift as lowering inference cost and enabling long‑context workflows, which will reshape cloud economics and developer expectations for AI endpoints.
