Compute

GPU-enabled enterprise workloads, model development and inference are the current qualification focus.

Qualifying demand, local delivery capability and the first executable infrastructure route.

Energy

Infrastructure requirements will be set after the first qualified deployment route is chosen.

Energy is evaluated alongside cost, uptime and deployment resilience.
