Some voices believe that 2026 will be a watershed year for AI development.

Saying that AI will fully surpass humans is a bit of a bold statement. But it is undeniable that the critical point for general artificial intelligence is approaching. Currently, AI's performance in code generation, data analysis, content creation, and other fields has already made people a bit uneasy.

The significance of the year 2026 is that in the next 18 months, we may see some key technological breakthroughs—perhaps a qualitative leap in reasoning ability, or significant improvements in energy efficiency, or a concentrated explosion in application layers. When these breakthroughs accumulate to a certain extent, they will create a substantial turning point.

What does this mean for the entire Web3 and crypto markets? AI computing power demand will continue to rise, benefiting related chips, mining, and computing ecosystems. At the same time, the integration of AI and blockchain will also attract more attention. In short, the critical point is coming.

Haha, 2026? It seems like every year someone says that year will be a watershed, but it still ends up being the same old story. However, this time the computing power is really impressive, and the mining industry is about to take off.

Hey, the watershed year is 2026? Sounds a bit vague, but the computing power is definitely about to take off.

No way, can it really come in 26 years? I took a look at my mining rig... I need to quickly add leverage.

The surge in computing power demand does have some substance, but the ones truly able to benefit from the dividends are still those projects that secured their positions early on...

2026? Probably just hype again. I've heard too many of these "watershed" arguments. But when it comes to computing power, it's unavoidable. The mining industry will likely be desperate for electricity.
