So there's always something that we're thinking about for what will come next.
In theory, you could.
I mean, this one's really been designed as a specific size for a specific computer.
But this approach of having modules, this one is essentially four modules wide with a module on the end for storage and other air-cooled equipment on the end.
But you could have designed one that was five, six modules wide.
You can design them with one module at a time, but you have them next to each other.
And there are other sites that have been doing things like that.
So it's a very flexible, very agile, very adaptable system.
approach that's kind of more flexible than a bricks and mortar building where once you built it, it's quite a big job to change it and knock a wall down and build extensions and things like that.
So it's a very flexible, adaptable approach to using modular data centers.
It's been a pleasure to be here and really nice to welcome you into Isambard AI.
For Isambard and I, I think we're literally only just starting.
I think the most exciting projects that will run on this system haven't even been imagined yet.
And in five years time, we'll look back and think, boy, we were just scratching the surface there.
Now look at what's been possible.
I think there'll be some amazing breakthroughs for health.
I think there'll be some amazing breakthroughs in science and engineering.
We have some projects running, doing amazing things in fintech.
So
I think we can't imagine today what will come out of it, but it's going to be very exciting.
