MIT-linked startup uses nuclear tech for sustainable data center cooling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Ferveret, a startup with roots at MIT, has created a novel cooling system for data centers inspired by nuclear reactor technology. This system utilizes a specialized liquid to enhance heat transfer from servers by 15%. When paired with their power control software, it can boost AI model performance by 35% using the same power, while also eliminating water usage. AI

IMPACT This cooling innovation could enable more efficient AI model training and deployment by improving data center power utilization.
