Connect | Virginia // DCD Talks the fastest megawatt is already built with Surya Swamy | HammerheadAI

AI demand today is shifting from training to inference, which already accounts for more than half of all AI compute. Reasoning models and agentic workloads are multiplying the demand for tokens, but the main constraint facing inference providers is now power, rather than silicon. 

New grid capacity takes five to seven years to connect, and top datacenter markets have less than 1% vacancy, while inference facilities typically use less than half of the power they have provisioned. 

Hammerhead's premise is that the fastest available inference megawatt is the one already built. Join the session to learn more on Hammerhead’s software platform, ORCA, which unlocks more than 30% additional usable power from existing sites by predicting load patterns
