AI Infrastructure
The next trillion-dollar bottleneck in AI isn't algorithms, it's power and cooling
The explosive growth of generative AI is exposing a hard limit: the physical infrastructure needed to train and serve models at scale. Hyperscalers, chip designers, and a wave of energy-focused startups are pouring capital into rethinking data centers, cooling, and power delivery, betting that the next frontier of AI competition is infrastructural, not algorithmic.

JPEG at quality 92: the boring data engineering choice that made Photoroom's 7B model work
Photoroom releases the fourth part of its PRX model development series, detailing a data pipeline that prioritizes breadth and consistency over per-image perfection. The post reveals that JPEG compression at quality 92 is indistinguishable from PNG for training, and that the fastest captioner won over the most accurate one when scaling to hundreds of millions of images.
