What its 2 layers mean
- Data Centre
The physical building - racks, servers, cooling - where everything above this actually lives. An AI model has no existence outside a room full of running machines.
- Power & Network
Everything above this needs two things nobody thinks about until they run out: electricity to run and cool the machines, and network links fast enough to move data between them.
