Astera Labs has announced Orion, a rack-scale reference design that lets a neocloud or enterprise pick its GPUs and CPUs after the rack is built. Accelerators arrive as PCIe plug-in cards, and a 320-lane PCIe switch fabric scales a pod from 8 to 160 of them, so an operator can deploy the rack once and
Supermicro announced an expanded line of Open Compute Project Accepted systems, racks, and rear door heat exchangers, all delivered through its Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS) program and on display at booth B4 at the OCP Global Summit in San Jose through October 15.

MSI is showing a 48RU NVIDIA MGX rack at the OCP Global Summit in San Jose this week, built from four liquid-cooled CG681-S6093 servers stacked under an NVIDIA Spectrum-4 SN5600 switch and an SN2201 out-of-band switch. Each 6U server takes up to eight NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition liquid-cooled GPUs, so the rack
Running large language models locally has become much easier over the past couple of years, but a gap remains between downloading a model and having a useful desktop environment for it. Jan describes itself as a ChatGPT alternative, offering an open-source desktop app with a familiar chat-style interface that keeps most of the setup inside
