Ahopere a wɔde ahopere ayɛ sɛ wobenya tumi na wɔagyina AI data center ahorow no akanyan ahoɔhare ho hack ahorow pii—efi AI ntamadan nkurow a wosisi so, kosi wimhyɛn engine ahorow a wɔtow so, kosi mfiridwuma mmeae a wɔagyaw hɔ a wobegye so. What’s most surprising is all of the different ways the biggest AI data centers have improvised and scrounged to meet the staggering electricity demands of AI.Here are some of the more resourceful hacks companies are using to scale up their computing power as fast as they can.Hack 1: Sweat your own real estate.In early 2023 when the AI data center boom was just getting started, both Google na Meta Platforms te tumi hokwan ahorow a ɛsom bo so wɔ New Albany, Ohio, a ɛbɛn Columbus. Mekyerɛw New Albany ne ne high-voltage transmission network ho asɛm wɔ me column a etwa to no mu. Ne anyinam ahoɔden ntini ahorow no tumi de ahoɔden pii ma araa ma mpɔtam hɔ abɛyɛ AI ahenkurow foforo. Google ne Meta’s main campuses no wɔ boulevard no atifi fi wɔn ho wɔn ho.Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobenya tumi a ɛwɔ hɔ no so mfaso yiye no, Meta trɛw ne AI data centers mu. Nea ɛbɛyɛ na wɔayɛ saa no, ɔsomaa mfiridwumayɛfo kuw bi a wɔyɛ adwumaden kɔɔ ne atetesɛm databea ahorow anum mu sɛ wɔmfa mfonini ahorow a wɔde di dwuma ma AI nsi chips te sɛ central processing units a wɔde ahyɛ mu no ananmu. Ɛmaa AI kɔmputa ahoɔden akuwakuw kɛse bi bae, “ne nyinaa wɔ asram kakraa bi mu!” adwumakuw no kae wɔ blog post bi mu wɔ September a etwaam no mu. Meta nso trɛwee denam AI ntamadan kurow a wosii wɔ ne New Albany asase a na ɛwɔ hɔ dedaw no bi so, na ɛde kɔmputa ne onwini a ɛsom bo siee bere tiaa mu adan a wɔtaa de yɛ agumadi ne nhyiam akɛse mu. “Afe biako ansa na ɛno reba no, sɛ obi ka sɛ, ‘Yɛde GPU ahorow a ne bo yɛ den yiye akuwakuw bi bɛhyɛ ntamadan mu a,’ anka ɛbɛyɛ den sɛ yebesusuw ho,” saa na kan Meta panyin Chris Malone kae wɔ ɔkasa bi mu wɔ afe a etwaam no osutɔbere mu. Saa bere no na watu akɔ Open AI sɛ onni ne data center build-out no anim. Google apia kɔmputa ahoɔden pii afi ne chips mu denam data center ahorow pii a ɛwɔ Ohio ne mmeae ahorow a ɛwɔ Nebraska ne Iowa nyinaa a wɔde fiber optic nhama akɛse a ɛka bom no so. Wɔ ɔkwan a etu mpɔn so no, eyi boaboaa megawatt ɔhaha pii ano —ɛbɛyɛ sɛ ɛkaa gigawatts —a ɛyɛ ahoɔden a ɛsom bo ma ɛyɛɛ amemene biako a ɛdwene, a ebetumi ama ntetee akɔ so ayɛ adwuma mpo bere a chip ankorankoro adi nkogu mpo.Hack 2: Acquire someone else’s power.Microsoft knew about AI’s insatiable appetite for power in 2022 because it provided training capacity for Open AI’s ChatGPT. Enti bere a ohui sɛ wɔawie anyinam ahoɔden adwumayɛbea akɛse a ɛwɔ ɔman no mu no biako nkyɛe na ɛte hɔ a wɔmfa nni dwuma no, ehuruw. Na adwumakuw bi asi adwumayɛbea ketewa no wɔ Mount Pleasant, Wis., ama Taiwanfo adwumakuw Foxconn, a afei wɔpow nhyehyɛe a wɔyɛe sɛ wɔbɛyɛ LCD adwumayɛbea kɛse bi wɔ hɔ no.“Seesei ara mmuae a wɔde ma wɔ ahoɔhare a wɔde bɛkɔ tumi mu ne sɛ wobehu obi a na ɔwɔ anyinam ahoɔden nkitahodi na na onnyaa wɔn adwuma no mfi fam koraa,” saa na Landon Lill, ahoɔden ho mmara hokafo ma mmara adwumakuw Baker Botts, a ɛyɛ ahoɔden ho nhyehyɛe ma AI sites.Microsoft’s data center foforo, Fairwater, mprempren reyɛ adwuma bɛboro 350 MW wɔ AI adwumayɛ mu a ɛwɔ ɔkwan a ɛbɛkɔ anaasɛ ɛboro 2 GW (1 kosi 2 GW bɛyɛ sɛ tumi a ɛho hia na ama kurow a ne kɛse yɛ mfinimfini ahoɔden), sɛnea SemiAnalysis kyerɛ no. Microsoft sii data center a ɛyɛ pɛ wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Atlanta na mprempren ɛde data nkitahodi foforo a ɛyɛ ntɛmntɛm ka abien no bom.Hack 3: Tap green power projects orphaned by President Donald Trump’s energy policies.Data centers ayɛ tapping power supplies developed for crypto miners for the last few years, but another set of power assets has gone untapped. Hydrogen a ɛyɛ ahabammono kanyan anigye sɛ pɛtro a ɛho tew a wɔde fa akwantu ne nneɛma a wɔyɛ. Nanso ɛda so ara yɛ nea ne bo yɛ den efisɛ ɔkwan a wɔfa so yɛ no hwehwɛ sɛ wɔde ahoɔden a wɔyɛ no foforo pii di dwuma. Sɛ wɔyɛ wie a, ɛyɛ den yiye sɛ wɔde bɛkɔ. Afei Trump tew towtua a wɔde ma wɔ ne si ho no so.Seesei wɔn a wɔyɛ data center no rebɔ mmeae a wɔasisi owia ne mframa ho adwumayɛbea ahorow anaasɛ wɔanya tumi krataa a wɔde bɛsom hydrogen adwuma a ɛyɛ ahabammono. Yɛde frankaa ahyɛ hack a ɛte saa dedaw bere a yɛkyerɛkyerɛɛ nea enti a Google gyee adwumakuw a wɔyɛ ahoɔden a wɔyɛ no foforo Intersect no mu. AI nnya ntuu mmirika wɔ saa sites yi so, nanso ɛreba.A pivot from hydrogen nso maa Google ne power producer AES yɛɛ apam foforo, a investors a Blackrock ka ho renya. Mprempren AES bɛyɛ nneɛma a wɔyɛ no foforo de ayɛ Google kɔmputa kɛse bi wɔ Wilbarger Mantam mu, Texas. Mfiase no na wɔayɛ sɛ beae no bɛyɛ hydrogen a ɛyɛ ahabammono ne mfiridwuma mu gas a wɔde ma AirNneɛma a wɔyɛ. Air Products nantew kɔe, nanso na AES ayɛ teed up asase ama anyinam ahoɔden adansi ne grid nkitahodi. Ɛno maa no kwan ma ɔde mmara mu nsakrae a ɛbaa Texas a ɛde di kan wɔ ntonto no mu maa data mmeae a wɔde wɔn ankasa tumi bi ba no dii dwuma. Hack 4: Dust off reliable machinery from another era.Elon Musk’s xAI, a mprempren ɛyɛ SpaceX fã no, rebɔ General Electric wimhyɛn engine a wɔayɛ no foforo a na ama Boeing 747 ne 767 ahoɔden de ayɛ anyinam ahoɔden ama ne Colossus data center adwuma a ɛto so abien a ɛwɔ Memphis akyi wɔ Mississippi no. Ɛnyaa tumi krataa ɔsram yi sɛ ɛbɛhwɛ so daa, ɛmfa ho sɛ na mframa a wɔsɛe no ho dadwen wɔ hɔ no. Proenergy a ɛyɛ mfiri a wɔde fi mframa mu a adi mfe du du pii no foforo ma nnwumakuw a wɔde anyinam ahoɔden anaa mmeae a wɔyɛ mfiridwuma de bedi dwuma wɔ asase so no ka sɛ wɔbɛma engine a ɛtete saa 1,000 akɔ pɛnhyen wɔ mfe du a edi hɔ no mu. Proenergy yɛ n’ankasa afã horow a wɔde besi ananmu efisɛ GE tumi krataa ahorow bi atwam.Engine dedaw a wɔbɛsan asiesie no yɛ ɔkwan a ɛyɛ ntɛm sen adeyɛ a ɛyɛ nwonwa a AI data center developer Crusoe bɛyɛ de atɔ jet engine foforo. Ɛde ne nsa hyɛɛ ase sɛ adetɔfo a wɔde wɔn ho bɛto so ama adwumakuw a ɛyɛ wimhyɛn a ɛboro nnyigyei so Boom Supersonic, a ɛdan kɔɔ AI so asram kakraa bi a atwam ni bere a na ehia sika kɛse de ayɛ ne engine ahorow no. Ɛbɛsakra ne engine no ma wɔde adi dwuma wɔ asase so wɔ Superpower Superfactory foforo bi mu wɔ Denver. Crusoe ahyɛ sɛ wɔmfa turbines 29 nyɛ 1.21 GW a ɛbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma. Adwene no ne sɛ bere a (na sɛ) wɔayɛ krado wɔ mfe biako kosi abien mu no, Boom’s engine ahorow no gyina hɔ sɛ ɛbɛma ahoɔden pii aba wɔ wim tebea a ɛyɛ hyew mu sen turbine dedaw a wɔayɛ ama mmeae a ɛhɔ yɛ nwini. Hack 5: W’ankasa yɛ. Applied Digital a ɛresi data mmeae akɛse wɔ North Dakota ama CoreWeave ne afoforo no, nnansa yi ara fii n’ankasa tumi foforo a ɛde ne ho ase, Base Electron. Nna kakraa bi a atwam ni no, Base de ahyɛde maa adwumakuw bi a wɔde bere tenten ayɛ fango ahoɔden mfiridwuma a wɔfrɛ no Babcock & Wilcox sɛ wɔmfa nsu a wɔde yɛ nsu ne nsu a ɛyɛ hyew mfiridwuma a wɔayɛ no foforo afi fango bere no mu nsi gas anyinam ahoɔden mfiri ahorow. Applied Digital ne Babcock & Wilcox ka sɛ saa kwan yi bɛyɛ ntɛmntɛm wɔ gua so sen gas turbines a wɔtaa yɛ simple-cycle ne combined-cycle, a ne nyinaa wɔ back order.Newsworthy:Emerald AI rebɔ nea efii ɔyɛkyerɛ ahorow a wɔne Nvidia yɛe mu aba ho amanneɛ nnɛ: Ne adwuma-adeso-sesa software, a ɛboa data centers flex tumi a wɔde di dwuma wɔ bere ankasa mu, tumi maa AI adwuma a emu yɛ duru kɔɔ so yɛɛ adwuma bere a ɛda so ara yɛ adwuma ahoɔden a wɔde di dwuma no so tew 20% anaa nea ɛboro saa wɔ mmere a grid nhyɛso ba mu.
