Additional Author: Raman Sukhau AI training is scaling faster than ever, and with it, the demands on data center network infrastructure are increasing exponentially. Training large models no longer means just moving bigger datasets—it means moving them rapidly and more frequently. Checkpoint sizes have ballooned from gigabytes to terabytes—and sometimes even petabytes—making rapid reloads essential. […]

Fast Solutions, Lasting Impact

As AI demand skyrockets, we’ve had to procure additional capacity fast. Shrinking our regular timelines for new data-center builds means compromising on the kind of reliability we’ve gotten accustomed to. This is not a purely theoretical concern. A few months ago an excavator damaged a power pole, and we were forced to de-energize one of […]

We’ve all experienced it. You tap to start a voice conversation with an AI assistant, and you’re met with silence. It’s the “awkward pause,” that brief but noticeable delay while the connection is established. This fraction of a second is more than just a minor annoyance; it’s a fundamental barrier to natural, human-like conversation. When […]

Unmixing the World: Making Sound as Programmable as Code

Sound is one of the world’s richest but least accessible data sources. Most audio exists as a single, tangled mix—impossible to edit for humans and noisy for machines to understand. This talk explores how advances in audio separation are unmixing the world: splitting sound into its component parts so it can be edited, searched, and […]
