## Summary

Jesus Rodriguez argues that neocloud operators face a financing squeeze even while demand and rental prices remain high. He says banks and investors grew less willing to add AI debt as of November 9, 2026, while Microsoft reported demand exceeding available capacity. He expects the squeeze to change ownership and business models before proving AI infrastructure was a mistake.
