What its 3 layers mean
- Compute
The raw computing capacity - rented by the hour, the month or the year - that trains and runs AI models. This is what "the cloud" mostly means in practice.
- GPU
The specialised chips - mostly made by NVIDIA - that do the actual arithmetic behind AI, built to run millions of small calculations in parallel far faster than a general-purpose computer chip can.
- 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.
