Compute

AI factories, compute and token economics

What the infrastructure makes possible.

Computing is the reason the infrastructure exists. Our Compute coverage connects workloads to the buildings, networks and operating systems that support them, without treating every data center as an AI factory.

For AI inference, tokens are one way to describe output. They need context: the model, the task, response quality and the time a user waits. We examine those conditions alongside power and cooling, so a headline performance number becomes a question that can be checked.

Compute

An AI factory is still a place.

The phrase draws attention to what a building produces. Independent figures show how fast that part of the industry is growing, and how much data center electricity the IEA expects to remain outside it in 2030.

Connections

The network does not end at the coast.

A global data center depends on routes far beyond its fence. Cable diversity, landing stations and repair arrangements determine what a second connection really protects.
