The Neuron: AI Explained

There's no oversubscription of the network, so it's line speed.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And that combination is just a screamingly fast data center.

The Neuron: AI Explained

It's fun.

The Neuron: AI Explained

It's running.

The Neuron: AI Explained

It's real production now.

OpenAI is using it for a bunch of workloads already.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And so it's been fun to kind of see all of that come together and put it in perspective of that network I mentioned.

The Neuron: AI Explained

There's five million individual cables in that data center.

It's just an insane amount of connectivity and GPUs, and then it's all liquid facility water.

So in other words, the data center itself, all the GPUs are cooled by water as opposed to traditional air chillers.

And so it's outside the data center.

In our facility in Wisconsin, we have a chiller plant.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And it's the second largest chiller plant in the world.

The Neuron: AI Explained

There's only one more that's bigger.

The Neuron: AI Explained

It's Cutter in the Middle East has one.

But it's the largest chiller plant in the United States.

and in North America or anywhere else around the world outside of Qatar in the Middle East.

What's cool about the liquid-cooled, because people often ask me, like, what about water consumption?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Microsoft's AI Superfactory with Scott Guthrie

It's about 20 houses worth of water to fill the data center, so 20 American homes.

So it's, you know, the grand scheme of things, it's not a lot of water.
