Kann: Edge computing latency advantage applies to very few AI applications
“Not for zero applications, but for very few does it seem that you need such low latency that edge has a big benefit over, you know, the sort of, like, regional hyperscale model that we have today.”
Wright: Hyperscale data centers leave 70% of the world without AI access
“Today they cover about 30% of the world. That means 70% of the world does not have access to AI.”
Kann: The US lacks end-user demand for 1,000 new hyperscale data centers
