What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Specs are official Tier-3 and the platform is publicly committed for H2 2026, but the 180-230 kW/rack all-liquid design imposes facility-level cooling and power demands and at-scale thermal reliability is still pre-deployment.
Next
Track CDU/facility-water readiness and first independent deployment thermal data before committing facility power/cooling plans
