CADENCE AT YOTTA 2026
The Economics of AI Factories:
Accelerating Time-to-Token and
Maximizing Capital Efficiency
September 29, 2026 | 12:50–2:00 PM | Las Vegas, NV
Accelerating the AI Factory Era
Building a successful AI factory requires more than compute. It demands a system-level understanding of how compute, power, cooling, and physical infrastructure work together to maximize token generation efficiency—and ultimately the return on every watt and dollar invested. At YOTTA 2026, discover how digital twins and advanced simulation help accelerate time-to-first token while maximizing infrastructure returns.

The Economics of AI Factories: Accelerating Time-to-Token and Maximizing Capital Efficiency
Tuesday, September 29
Doors Open: 12:50 PM | Program: 1:00–2:00 PM
CAESARS FORUM | Las Vegas
Session Overview
As AI factories emerge as a new class of digital infrastructure, success is increasingly measured by how quickly organizations can begin producing tokens and how efficiently they can convert energy and capital into revenue.
Join Cadence as we explore the challenges of designing, deploying, and operating next-generation AI infrastructure, the role of digital twins and advanced simulation in mitigating deployment risk, and the critical relationship between infrastructure performance, token production, profitability, and ROI.
Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how digital twins and advanced simulation can help identify infrastructure constraints earlier, reduce deployment risk, and accelerate the path from capital investment to revenue.
