Why Fault Lines

Why Fault Lines

Why You Can’t Afford to Sit This Out

Fault lines emerge every time tech shifts and in 2026, they cut straight through the AI stack.

Infrastructure choices now carry seven-figure stakes.

Fault Lines brings senior tech leaders together not to agree, but to collide. No panels. No polish. Just sharp, unfiltered debates: GPUs vs. custom silicon, cloud vs. colo, general-purpose vs. domain-specific compute.

We don’t smooth the edges. We expose them.
