Hydrogen from renewable sources is in short supply. While future plentiful supplies are planned, currently only a very small number of data centers are using hydrogen for standby power.
The cost and complexity of deploying large-scale GPU clusters for generative AI training will drive many enterprises to the public cloud. Most enterprises will use pre-trained foundation models, to reduce computational overheads.
