AI has entered an industrial phase, which is no longer limited to isolated models or experimental implementations. AI now functions as always-on AI factories that continually transform electricity and data into intelligence at scale. For service providers and neoclouds, this shift introduces a new class of infrastructure demands.

Modern AI workloads require processing hundreds of thousands of input tokens while maintaining real-time inference across complex pipelines. Unlike traditional data centers built around intermittent human-driven requests, AI factories rely on constant, high-efficiency data movement, low-latency communication, and massive memory bandwidth to remain competitive. Even minor inefficiencies, multiplied by trillions of tokens, can significantly impact performance and costs, creating the need for a new generation of systems designed specifically for industrial scale…
