Is AI traffic evolving into a world of its own, resembling specialized infrastructure rather than the vast internet? Our latest Network Stats report highlights a striking trend: traffic to other clouds surged from 36% to nearly 50% in a few short months. This spike is fueled by #Neocloud and hyperscaler activities linked to AI ingestion, training, and model workflows. As we dive into 2026, this might be the dawn of #AINative networks, marked by fewer endpoints, more intense data flows, and stronger synergy between storage and compute.
