Dawn was procured specifically as part a new AI Research Resource as opposed to HPC, thus potentially making it the “fastest” AI supercomputer in the UK https://www.hpc.cam.ac.uk/d-w-n)?

Deftly so, I reckon … no horsing around here, with MS Azure Eagle leading the rodeo (#3), Meta’s Grand Tetons piercing through the AI clouds, and herds of compute machinery ranched at Google, AWS, xAI … plenty of opportunities for Rackspace to excel-in at this here AI County Fair Bonanza: Tame the wild Enterprise multi-cloud longhorn, steer the OpenStack sirloin to Octavia’s BBQ, ride into the Skyline sunset … just got to get up one more time than you’re knocked down! (famous quote)

I guess the spaghetti was on the wall all along in this pastafarian plot of disaggregated heterogeneously composable commodity supercomputing beer ingredients, and the related rise of tentacular software defined cephalopods, both heeding the ineluctable multi-cloud ascent of the ZettaCthulhus! It could be a new Dawn in HPC/AI fermentation technology, with Turtle-powered Sharks all the way down! 8^p ( https://www.stackhpc.com/magnum-cluster-api-helm-deep-dive.html )
