  "account": "This week's Kettle Podcast episode explores the latest developments in datacenter power efficiency. Nvidia unveiled new technologies at the AI Infra Summit that can enhance energy efficiency within datacenters, a critical factor for their revenue growth. The DSX platform, introduced by Nvidia, aims to optimize power usage based on workload demands and automation, similar to how smartphones manage energy consumption. However, the podcast notes that the real-world implementation of this technology requires all components to be from Nvidia's ecosystem, as compatibility issues may arise with other vendors. Dan Robinson, the IT infrastructure reporter, and Brandon Vigliarolo, the systems editor, delve into these developments and discuss why coal may not make a comeback in the datacenter power sector anytime soon.",
  "summary": "US power emissions restrictions are being wiped out, but hey – datacenters running Nvidia kit are getting better at extracting ever bit of compute they can from a megawatt, for what it's worth",
