Meta putting up tents across the US to house AI servers, like ‘a scene out of the movie Mad Max’ — structures take three months to build and use jet engines for power (www.tomshardware.com)

These "makeshift" structures are housing hardware that costs millions of dollars in total.

"Putting AI servers inside tents, officially called “rapid deployment structures,” is one of the more unique approaches to the AI build-out, Thomas said. They’re certainly not as sturdy as physical buildings made from steel and concrete, with one commenter comparing it to the “classic $10k racing bike with a $9 lock” situation."

I've been cruising with the most expensive model at work for a while now. After github's pricing model change they finally asked us to be more conscious about which model we're using (which was hilarious after we were constantly asked to use more AI), but eh, it's easier to just leave it on Claude 4.8. I figure eventually the costs will catch up with the company.
