So what I'm reading is that they're either making a gentleman's agreement to let Chinese labs run circles around them or the easy gains are over and they're now running into a wall (lemmy.ml)

Musk: Yes, we should all slow down. With no external verification and upon the agreement of this handshake, we should all stop developing so fast. We, especially, will slow down. You can trust us.

Actually, what does that look like? I assumed from the expansions the bottleneck wasn't algorithmic, i.e. each data center that they bring online was designed from the ground up to be at 100% all the time. Is that not the case? Can you even (for lack of a better metaphor) underclock your datacenter? Does the cooling work that way?

For that matter, are they doing that trick where the datacenter is owned/operated by Independent DC Company X, and has exclusive lease agreements for compute?
