## Quote — verbatim

> I think that's going to be a trend: I think 80% of our demand is going to be inference and 20% will be fine-tuning and training.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Because inference scales continuously with users while training is a one-time job; also flags fine-tuning ("Copilot doesn't learn from my code") and privacy-driven "sovereign AI" use cases.
