The world bet trillions on data centers that can't be built fast enough, I'm incredibly excited to launch @Pacific_YCS26 with @ycombinator.

We mass-produce and deploy micro data centers for Earth and space, faster than anyone else. 

Delayed infrastructure projects  lose $1B/week, whilst sitting on unused power - our pods land on them and turn that power into an Ai factory. We use diamond wafer cooling, letting us operate in high temp environments and every pod is externally financed, costing us nothing.

Today we have $105M in future delivery contracts and two sites going live this month.  

Compute constrained or need an on-prem cluster? https://t.co/1Gysez9pyI

@sridharfyi @bradflora Thanks Sridhar! It’s going to be the fastest way to reach GW scale compute

[Harper Dammann Smith @Harperdammann]

@Xmorosini @bradflora A lot of the sites are actually more developed than you’d think and have fiber already. But you are right, there is a huge opportunity to deploy these pods directly at the substations, which we are exploring!

@seanass2 @bradflora @ycombinator What are you working on?

[Harper Dammann Smith @Harperdammann]

@vsaietta @bradflora You’re right! It’s very difficult to get a strong position in the queue unless you started years ago. Or you pay a fortune to someone flipping the developed site.

@ananbatra @bradflora Thanks Ananay!

[Harper Dammann Smith @Harperdammann]

@bradflora @vanmosti They sure do, I’m not sure what their SLAs look like though

@EthanLDQ @Pacific_YCS26 @ycombinator To the moon!!

[Harper Dammann Smith @Harperdammann]

@BarDarlingLocal @Pacific_YCS26 @ycombinator Indeed!

[Harper Dammann Smith @Harperdammann]

Good points! Not fake, we’re this at the moment - starting with our pod 32 (32X B300s, liquid cooled) which deploys this month.

From there we’re working on getting a factory up and running where we will start to build some of the most constrained components, like the transformer.

@BenBear @Pacific_YCS26 @ycombinator Thanks Ben!

@GJarrosson @Pacific_YCS26 @ycombinator Thanks Gabriel!

[Harper Dammann Smith @Harperdammann]

@dhvelsharma @Pacific_YCS26 @ycombinator Yeah definitely, it just needs people to be smart about using what already exists

[Harper Dammann Smith @Harperdammann]

@Prathameshg461 @Pacific_YCS26 @ycombinator Thanks very much!!

Indeed regulatory is actually where the MDC approach shines really strongly. A sub-1 MW module will sit on already zoned industrial land behind an existing metre and doesn't trigger the permitting fights that stall these 100 MW campuses. Generally those are interconnection queues, reasoning, water permits and municipal government opposition.

The muni governments and their utilities like these small data centres a lot more because it's a fast and clean way to generate revenue of old industrial sites.

@ullastweets @Pacific_YCS26 @ycombinator Thank Ullas, could you send me an email to [email protected] please

[Harper Dammann Smith @Harperdammann]

@ullastweets @Pacific_YCS26 @ycombinator Thanks Ullas, that’s great to hear - would love to chat. Would you mind sending me an email to [email protected]?

@elalvarobalbin @Pacific_YCS26 @ycombinator 🔥🔥

@bradflora Reallly rooting for you guys! Has been cool learning about this problem with you guys!

Introducing Pacific: datacenters for construction sites.
There are trillions of dollars of stalled out construction sites sitting on unused power interconnects, burning roughly $1B a week in interest in the US alone.
Pacific makes it easy to drop a datacenter pod on those sites and start earning money immediately.
