Two Paths to Break the Compute Bottleneck
AravSrinivas · x · 2026-07-14
The author argues that there are two realistic paths to break the power bottleneck of data center inference:
- Let local models handle the majority of token flow, relying on smaller, decentralized models to collaborate on inference.
- Take a more radical approach by placing solar-powered data centers in space.
