TL;DR Neoclouds may begin by selling access to scarce GPU capacity, but long-term differentiation requires more than racks, drivers, and a booking portal. A production AI cloud must convert bare-metal servers, virtual machines, GPU pools, storage, networks, and external cloud resources into secure, repeatable, tenant-aware services.
