20 years ago Jane Street’s entire compute cluster was six Dell boxes stacked on the floor at the end of an office row. They called it the Hive.
Last week they let Dwarkesh Patel walk through their new Texas data center. 4,032 GPUs. Each rack pulls 140 kilowatts. A normal data center rack pulls 10. 8,000 kilometers of fiber inside one building, and the fastest links are still copper because light moves more slowly through glass than electrons through metal.
