Your compute roadmap now depends on desperate, inefficient power workarounds
◆ 65RelevanceOn a story from TechCrunch AI9h ago
The physical grid bottleneck is now so severe that providers are sacrificing efficiency and sustainability for raw uptime. If your scaling plan assumes cheap, green compute, prepare for margin pressure as providers pass on these high-cost infrastructure hacks.
Takeaways
- Grid delays are measured in years, forcing providers toward sub-optimal power sources.
- Inefficient power generation will likely slow the decline of compute pricing.
- Reliability and speed-to-market are being prioritized over environmental and efficiency standards.
