What we are testing, learning and announcing.
Company announcements, independent test results, and how we think about cooling, power and AI infrastructure.
Air cooling still has room to run.
AI accelerators are moving into 1,000 to 2,000 watt power envelopes. Conventional direct-to-chip air cooling gives out somewhere around 350 to 400 watts. The distance between those two numbers is why liquid cooling has become the assumed answer.

Why we had an outside lab reproduce our results.
Thermal claims are easy to make and hard to verify. A cooler can look good on a bench with the right airflow, the right ambient conditions and a carefully chosen baseline. The measurement that carries weight is the one somebody else runs.
