🏘 Nvidia wants to turn homes into AI data centers Instead of building giant server farms, startup Span is testing a strange new idea with Nvidia and homebuilder PulteGroup: installing mini AI compute hubs directly onto houses. The system, called XFRA, places a box with around 16 Blackwell GPUs outside the home. Span’s smart panel sends unused household electricity to the GPUs for AI workloads. So your house could literally help run AI models while you sleep. In return, homeowners could get cheaper electricity bills and even earn extra income. Span says deploying thousands of these residential AI nodes could be 5–6x cheaper than building traditional hyperscale data centers. The future of AI infrastructure might not be one giant data center, it might be your neighborhood. @aipost🏴
