Key takeaways
  1. 01MICHAEL BIRD Now, for years, we've focused on GPUs and models when it came to conversations about AI
  2. 02And so the sort of underlying infrastructure that needs to support these GPUs needs high bandwidth, lower latency, really effective cooling, and it needs to be able to respond and
  3. 03First of all, we have been running networks for decades, traditional networks, where we are connecting the compute, storage, and, whatnot, right?
