๐จBREAKING: Nvidia will pay you $1,000 a month to host a mini AI data center at your house.
It looks like a regular AC unit sitting in your yard. Nobody walking past would know what is inside.
Inside sits 16 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs and Dell servers running at full capacity.
A startup called Span builds and installs them. They are backed by Nvidia directly. The whole unit bolts onto your home and you get paid for the power and Wi-Fi you supply.
Some estimates put the monthly payout around $1,000. That is rent money just for hosting a box you never touch.
Span says the units deploy significantly faster and cheaper than traditional data centers. That is exactly why Nvidia is backing the suburban rollout instead of waiting for more commercial land.
The AI boom needed more compute. It found it in the suburbs.
The grid is being rebuilt one backyard at a time. Save this.
Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdลs in 1946.
For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.
An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.
This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.
