What this episode covers

Host Daniel Lapo discusses emerging hardware technologies, starting with SpaceTime, an augmented reality laptop system by Space Time that uses AR glasses to create virtual multi-monitor setups for remote work. He then covers a 'battery tanker' concept designed to transport up to 2 gigawatt-hours of electricity across oceans, and Helion Energy's ambitious 2028 timeline for commercial nuclear fusion, backed by Sam Altman and Microsoft. The episode concludes with an analysis of floating power sources, including offshore wind turbines like General Electric's Haliade X, floating solar arrays that conserve water, and small-scale hydro turbines like Blue Freedom for decentralized energy generation.

    Building inference data centers on the high seas

    Garth Sheldon-Coulson, co-founder and CEO of Panthalassa, explains how the company builds 85-meter steel 'nodes' that harness wave energy to power AI inference clusters in the deep ocean. He details the 'Ocean Hydro' technology, which uses a rigid hull shape to pump seawater into a reservoir and drive a turbine, eliminating the need for anchors or shore-based cables. Sheldon-Coulson discusses the unit economics, noting that while power costs are low (3.5-4 cents/kWh), the primary value lies in high availability and free seawater cooling for compute hardware. He outlines the company's roadmap from full-scale prototypes like Ocean 2 to the commercial Ocean 3 pilot fleet launching in late 2026, targeting long-running inference and reinforcement learning workloads.
