In an AI factory, high bandwidth memory (HBM)is the fastest, most expensive, and most contested memory tier. Every byte spent on a redundant weight copy, an idle session’s KV cache, or a recomputed prefix is a byte that is not being used to produce tokens. The question is no longer how much memory a GPU has, but how much useful work each byte delivers. The generational data in Figure 1 below…

AI Factories are some of the most technologically complex operational environments ever created. Hundreds of thousands of GPUs, NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet scale-out, scale-across and scale-in fabrics, NVIDIA NVLink scale-up fabrics, distributed schedulers, and multi-week training runs operate in continuous lockstep.These layers function as one production system even when different teams own their…

The demand for AI continues to accelerate. Workloads are getting larger, models are becoming more complex, and there is mounting pressure to deploy AI compute infrastructure faster than ever. AI factories—data center-scale systems that continuously convert data and energy into intelligence—are being deployed to meet this insatiable demand. This AI factory approach to the data center has…
