Compute, workloads & commercial commitments
S6 training and inference design capability
NEXTDC describes S6 as an AI factory for GPU-intensive training, inference and large-scale model operations, with liquid-cooling support.
- Evidence scope
- Named facility · NEXTDC
- Evidence as-of date
- Applicable date not stated
- Workloads described
- Model training · Inference
How to read this: This establishes design capability, not installed GPU inventory or the proportion of its 2.7 MW built capacity serving those workloads. The 13.5 MW design figure includes built and future fit-out.
