We are 400G to the machines and 800G on the splines.


Cool! Even faster than I realized. What application(s) can actually push 400G through a machine though?


Data transfer for training. It goes directly to the GPUs via RoCE. That said, we also stack the boxes with a bunch of NVMe as well, so you can cache there first, if you want so that you don't have to worry about network bandwidth as much. We're flexible on customers needs.

When 800G nic's come out next year (along with PCIe6), we will start buying those as well so that it is 800G everywhere. Let's see how long that lasts before it is considered slow... heh.
