I can make choices about what I do and buy and communicate those choices.
Some AI models, though not in the leading peloton, are close behind and more cost-effective.These applications may place lower demands on processing and cooling and hold a lower facility price point.. Everyone in the room agreed that standing still is not an option..
Some believe that we’re reaching the edges of technological development in cooling, certainly from current supply chains.There are other cooling technologies (e.g.some developed for the defunct space shuttle programme), but these are currently 100x the cost.
This rise in density is driving DCs to be all about the utilities, with processing space representing a very small percentage of each development.. With both a rapidly evolving technological marketplace and long project lead times, the same dilemma between customers and infrastructure builders about the timings of decision making is amplified..The developer needs decisions as early as possible to design, secure power, step through regulatory hurdles and source long-lead components; while the customers want to be able to wait as long as possible to read the market.
Maintaining optionality, speed and cost effectiveness is a problem requiring new solutions.. On top of these challenges there are further known unknowns in the picture: the impact of the move from training AI to the distribution of AI Quantum computing..
The power problem.There are others operating in this space.
This project has the potential to enable effective and creative collaboration between all of them, providing the shared basis on which other projects can connect, operate and develop.Involving more people and projects to test the process and demonstrate value would also be a good thing..
Given the potential scale of this project and its broader applications, we would seek to connect with MHCLG, both in terms of technical development, and to benefit from their convening power..The more connections we enable, the stronger those connections become and the more benefits arise from them.
