If you rely on high-end GPUs or custom ASICs, start treating OSAT capacity and packaging lead times as first-order constraints in your roadmap.
Deep & Emerging TechData centers may face temporary power cuts to prevent blackouts on largest US grid
If the largest US grid operator is planning to curtail data center power to prevent blackouts starting next year, uptime assumptions for AI workloads just broke. Operators with latency- or availability-sensitive systems need multi-region, multi-grid, or on-site generation strategies on the table now, not in 2028.
