Smarter Heat Inc. · Distributed AI compute

Compute that heats water.

A distributed AI compute network built into water heating. Every kilowatt-hour runs AI workloads first, then heats water for homes and buildings.

01 / Problem

Data centers pay to remove heat. Buildings pay to make it.

Nearly every watt a processor draws ends up as heat. In a data center that heat is a cost. In a water tank it is the product.

02 / System

A data center spread across thousands of water tanks.

01 //

Compute on site

Accelerated compute modules sit inside the water-heating system, where hot water is used.

02 //

Heat capture

Chip heat moves into the water and is stored as thermal energy until it's needed.

03 //

Orchestration

Jobs are scheduled by hot-water demand, tank temperature and grid signals.

04 //

Network

Thousands of nodes work as one GPU cloud for flexible AI workloads.

Workloads → batch & edge inference · fine-tuning · rendering & simulation
