Gartner predicts that at least 50% of generative AI projects will exceed their planned budgets by 2028 due to poor architectural choices and a lack of operational expertise. The primary cost driver is inference, which is expected to account for 70% of a model's lifetime costs, shifting focus from training expenses. The report emphasizes the need for cost governance, architectural efficiency, and usage monitoring to scale GenAI without unsustainable spending, especially as agentic AI further increases operational costs.

Shares of Tenable, PagerDuty, and HubSpot experienced declines following high-profile AI talent departures from Alphabet and regulatory concerns, which impacted the communication-services and software sectors. The market is showing persistent fear that AI agents will erode the subscription model foundational to enterprise software economics, with Salesforce and Adobe also seeing significant drops. Despite some counterarguments regarding indiscriminate selling and strong fundamentals for companies like Salesforce, the software sector remains under pressure until AI revenue growth demonstrably outpaces the erosion of legacy subscription bases.
