If you’re curious about what I’m thinking about at work, three recent videos will help give you a taste.
The first one is a presentation by my manager at the Open Compute Project Global Summit. He talked about how AI training data centers cause massive and rapid power fluctuations which are problematic for electrical grids and introduced the shared approach taken by Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI to solve this.
The second one is Satya. He talks about the development of the Fairwater 2 data center and the path to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). While his scope is obviously way bigger than my team’s, we are closely involved in the projects he discusses.
Satya says that this AI revolution might just be the biggest thing since the industrial revolution. It’s an amazing time to be in this industry and I’m super thankful to have a behind-the-scenes seat for it!
Mark Russinovich is the CTO of Azure. He’s one of the smartest people around and when he gives talks, it’s usually worth a listen. At the recent Ignite conference, he talked about recent Azure innovations architecture and a lot of these (especially the ones dealing with compute resources) are in my part of the company. This one is definitely the most technical of the three videos that I’ve shared here.
