I guess that's the big question about, you know, when you actually do trust the system, um, to, to take over and control the load, what kind of benefits do you see coming back from it then in terms of like, we know that cooling is whatever.
up to half the total power consumption on a system, maybe a third, 33 and a third percent to 50%, that kind of idea.
But why then do we just have the same linear approach that we had 20 years back where we set a set point, one temperature set point, one humidity set point, and that's it.
We just run to that.
Why can't we actually allow ourselves to fall into a situation whereby we can have dynamically changing set points and
you know, use this kind of agentic interface.
Yeah.
And I don't know if it's just about generating more efficiencies to run power, but I see a lot of behind the meter work going on for energy augmentation, for example, or trying to keep your
your facility going when it's under stress.
But what you're saying there is that the savings that the system, that the vigilant system can deploy in terms of the power that's used to cool a unit will actually result or can result in you being able to bring more nodes online or crunch more numbers that have more petaflops in the system, yeah?
Yeah, and we talk a lot on this show, we talk an awful lot about free cooling because that's what a lot of people are still trying to make use of for obvious reasons.
But it doesn't actually do it when you need it to do it.
Why is it that it's not actually delivering the kind of
Does that mean then that we only need to invest in the vigilant system in the summertime when we need that additional forced cooling as opposed to the free cooling?
Yeah, understood.
So that brings me around then back to a kind of thing that I started to probe a little bit earlier where I was sort of saying, so now we've got all of these AI devices that are in the data hall, and they're all using that.
We call it localized fuzzy logic.
just to differentiate it from a true AI-gentic machine learning situation.
But there's loads of them.
They're there for everything.
