FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

So that's when I realized, okay, eBay is this undervalued asset.

And I hope that Ryan has figured it out as well.

FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

Because if he hasn't,

TBPN

He's giving me ideas.

FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

Look, I have not, guys, because right now I'm a compute infrastructure guy, right?

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

We started AMP as this public benefit corporation whose job is to be an independent system operator of the compute grid.

FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

We think we're roughly in like 1885 industrial England where the steam engine's been invented.

FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

Everybody knows that you can make cool new products like steel and...

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

notebooks and pens and cars.

And there's this very scarce input called coal that everybody is hoarding.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

In this case, it's compute.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

And when I, if you fly over industrial era, England, you'll see all these factories getting set up and everyone's running a generator in their backyard at half capacity.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

I'm going, this makes no sense.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

If I'm looking at all my portfolio companies, you know, these, these clusters are running at like half utilization.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

In fact, Elon's like got 500,000 GB 300 in Memphis and,

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

at running an 11% MFU and less than 60% node allocation.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

I mean, this is $12 billion of compute being wasted.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

So I set up AMP as an AI infrastructure organization where we buy a bunch of compute, we do long-term leases, we pull all those clusters on the grid, we coordinate capacity, drive up utilization.

TBPN
FULL INTERVIEW: Anjney Midha on Fixing AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

And by the end of this year, I think we'll have several billion dollars of compute coming online.

TBPN

But that's what I've been focused on night and day since I left in recent Horowitz in January.
