Guys, to compete against approximately 2200 GPUs, we would have to revive Einstein and make him create an algorithm never seen before, mathematics vs. warehouses. Tongue

Think about how much power you would need for 3,000 GPUs—electricity bill, space, ventilation, air conditioning, etc.

Increasing a home's power capacity to 1 MW is not feasible with standard residential electrical infrastructure. You would need a transformer station to step down the high-voltage power to a usable level for your equipment.

Residential power typically ranges from 10–50 kW (with US homes averaging around 1.2 kW continuous).

Some countries do not even have 1 MW available per residential block. You’d need a privately owned power plant—or even a nuclear power plant.

So, we're talking about countries like the USA, Russia, China, Germany, Japan, etc.

When you factor in servers, networking, storage, and inefficiencies (PUE), the total power requirement could exceed 3 MW.

A 3 MW load is comparable to:

A mid-sized data center

Around 5,000 average US homes

A small factory or hospital...

And I forgot...
Electricity loses energy over distance due to resistive losses in power lines (~2–5% per 100 km for high-voltage transmission).

So, the data center must be as close as possible to the power station. Try running a 3,000-GPU data center in Alaska, for example. Rural areas rely on diesel generators Grin
