Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller steered a breakout discussion group on the need for more compute power to fuel this AI boom.

Founders and investors interrogated whether we could build enough data centers quickly enough since most are already close to capacity. Energy demands were also a hot topic, and Lochmiller stressed the need for more renewable energy resources to power AI tools. 

Primary’s Tobias Citron questioned the premise that scale alone would be what it takes to better power AI, and suggested that building more middleware to help AI tools run more efficiently was also a big piece of the puzzle.
