    “No. So we have a physical benchmarking service called SiliconMark that actually visits individual GPU at the EU ID level. level to try to assess the GPU health, the performance, you know, uh the throughput, you know, TFLOPS and so on. At the moment, that physical benchmarking and physical spec performance does not enter into our pricing, right?”

    “We're working on a number of different approaches for this, including a combination of heat pipes and radiators to cool the chips. So far, our team has tested the technology in a thermal vacuum chamber that simulates both the thermal and vacuum environment in space. So they don't know. It's really interesting to see how that works. And then, um, you know, what's the, what's the speed going to be like with connectivity back to OIT?”
