AI, As I Go

A running record of what I'm learning about AI — models, infrastructure, tooling, and everything underneath. New entries get added here as I go.

Silicon to Supercluster

The AI hardware supply chain in six stages — wafer, die, GPU, server, rack, data center — with what each stage is, who builds it, and what it costs.

How AI Data Centers Get Built

What makes an AI data center physically different, who actually owns these facilities, and why they keep ending up in places you wouldn't expect.

What It Takes to Keep AI Running

A high-level look at the power, water, materials, and hardware churn behind running AI at scale — and what that actually costs.

CPU, GPU, TPU, DPU: the chips behind AI

Four different chips, four different jobs — what each one actually does, and how they pair up inside a real AI server.
