The world’s largest hotel is not in Las Vegas or Dubai. It is in Malaysia and has 7,351 rooms

by

He is at the top of a mountain, does not presume luxury and does not even reach four stars. But the First World Hotel It has something that no other hotel can say: 7,351 operational rooms. It is officially the major of the planet in this regard. This was certified by the Guinness book of records In 2015, and it is claimed by the website of the First World Hotel. The complex is in the heart of Resorts World Gentingin Malaysia, and today it is organized in three towers: Tower 1, Tower 2 and Tower 3/Y5. From there you access direct nodes such as First World Plaza, Skyovenuethe covered park Skytopolis Indoor Theme Park or the Genting International Convention Center. A city inside a building: how a hotel with more than 7,000 rooms is managed Sometimes, stars deceive. One would expect the world’s largest hotel to be also one of the most luxurious. But the First World Hotel is not sold like this. In Malaysia, The stars are assigned by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (Motac). There are no butlers, but strict cleaning and automated check-in, in addition to an accreditation “Clean & Safe Malaysia” with 100%score. Once inside, the logical question is: And now what? In those mentioned First World Plaza And Skyovenue there are stores, restaurants, an attraction park covered And even a convention center, all under ceiling. We also find the Skytopolis Indoor Theme Parkwhich is one of the jewels: more than 20 attractions in 400,000 square feet, open all year without depending on the weather. To eat fast and cheap are the Coffee lobby and The Junctionwhere the Nasi Lemak wrapped in banana leaves It is announced as “probably the best of Genting.” Managing something like that does not have more staff, it will have a system. The First World Hotel works as a machinery: check-in in kiosks, digital keys from the app, strict rules on furniture and non -transferable reserves. Everything is specified by the hotel itself: you cannot move furniture or enter with appliances. When you manage more than 7,000 rooms, any exception can discourage the gear. Spa and gym? They exist, but are not in the First World Hotel. They are in him Genting Grandanother of the resort hotels, and the access is paid for the guests of the First World. Why in Malaysia and not in a large tourist capital? Because this is not an isolated hotel: it is a piece of a project born in the sixties. The founder of the group, Lim Goh Tong, imagined in 1965 a resort on the mountainfresher than Kuala Lumpur and with entertainment for families. The company itself tells it in its corporate profile and in the official history of the group. From there came resorts World Genting, with casinos, shopping centers, parks and hotels for all pockets. The First World fulfills the strategic function of hosting in mass. He does not need to be in a capital, because the resort is already a city. Since Guinness recognized himthe data of the 7,351 rooms has attracted even more curious. Continues ahead of colossi like the MGM Grand of Las Vegaswith “almost 5,000 rooms” According to the chain itself. The striking thing is that he succeeds without luxury suites or premium services: he does it with compact rooms and an operation designed to function as a gigantic gear. No one has yet taken the title. And that says a lot, not only the size, but of the viability of a model that, despite it seems impossible, continues to work every day.

Microsoft is one of the world’s largest companies. He has had to abrive his workers because they didn’t even use Copilot

by

In case it was not enough pressure for Microsoft employees, after announcing the dismissal Now he has decided to take a radical turn in his internal strategy and requires his employees to use tools for In your workflow. What was only a recommendation before, now it has become a demand in the toughest line of the “Ai Fluency” that has already been established in companies Like Duolingo, or Canva. According to published Business Insiderthis change responds to the imperative need for Microsoft to accelerate the adoption of AI among its own template, especially considering that only a few They used their github co -ilot. At the blacksmith’s house, stick knife. AI is no longer optional. Microsoft’s address has made it clear that “the use of artificial intelligence is no longer optional.” As published by the American media, Julia LiusonPresident of the Microsoft developer division, sent a forceful email to Microsoft managers: “AI is now a fundamental part of our way of working. Just like collaboration, data -based thinking and effective communication, the use of AI is no longer optional: it is essential for all roles and all levels.” This message implies that all employees, regardless of their position, must carry out literacy in AI and incorporate artificial intelligence into their workflows with the objective of Automate bureaucratic tasks or repetitive processes. Do not use it penalizes. To encourage their use, Microsoft managers received the order to incorporate the knowledge and use of AI among the factors to assess when evaluating their performance. “(AI) It should be part of their holistic reflections on the performance and impact of each individual, “Liuson instructed to those responsible for team. Although there is still no unique metric in all departments, some teams are already assessing establishing concrete ways of measuring this aspect in the next annual performance reviews. The enemy at home. This change seeks to solve what Microsoft considers that Github Copilot’s too slow adoption among its own workers. The pressure to adopt the AI ​​not only comes from within. Satya Nadella’s firm faces hard competition between models of programming assistanceas cursor or Replitwhich are winning growing in number of users, to the point of overcoming it in some segments of use. Citing a Barclays report, the American media says that “cursor would have already overcome Copilot in a key segment of the development market.” Technology currently allows its employees to use external AI tools provided they meet certain security requirements, which shows that not even in its Github Copilot bosom has the monopoly. Business Carambolas. Microsoft’s alliance with Openai is about to give a new fruit, since Sam Altman’s company is tantling the purchase of Windsurfmain cursor rival in the Nic of AI agents for programming assistance. Since Microsoft has an agreement with the Chatgpt creator, this acquisition would give indirect access to the intellectual property of Windsurfwhich would help you improve co -ilot performance. With this New movement Nadella’s masterful, Microsoft would have access to the heart of its main rival, something does not go unnoticed for Windsurf and OpenAi managers.

The world’s largest cars laundry empire

by

80 years ago, German businessman Joseph Enning set up a business he discovered after spending a year studying in the United States. A car laundry. That tunnel-car-wash that saw in New York had only a conveyor belt, a couple of groups of brushes and a blower to dry the cars. In 1964, he decided to inaugurate the first car wash under the name of MRW-Uuto-Service GmbH. And from there, the rest is history. At that time, Europe had nothing similar. The laundries were completely manual, scarce and expensive. It imported a concept that the United States had been using since the 1950s and, for practically 20 years operating in practically alone, it had hardly any competition. Since then, MR.Wash has opened more than 30 locations in Germany, and Clean more than 8 million cars a year. They are numbers that compete with the laundries installed in the gas stations of the main fuel distributors. The German group is currently considered as the largest automatic laundry operator by center volume (How many cars washed a single center per day), attending up to 5,000 cars per day, 300 every hour with about 100 workers per center. For more context it is convenient to know that in Spain, One of Norauto’s longest tunnels (50 meters)accompanied by a total of 24 boxes, manages to make about 30,000 washes per year. To achieve this volume of daily washes, the company needs unusual laundry. Some of them, Like the open in Bonn in 2021They have a total of three floors and carry a cost of 20 million euros at their opening. An area of ​​5,800 square meters in which plants construction is key to taking advantage of spaces. In Spain, one of Norauto’s longest tunnels (50 meters), accompanied by a total of 24 boxes, achieves about 30,000 washes per year. A volume of washing remarkably lower than that of a single MR.Wash center. There is also nothing similar in Europe or outside it: the maximum capacity usually is around 1,000 daily washes. This ends up translating into an annual turnover, with 2023 figures, 140 million euros only in washes. To which we must add the adjacent service stations of the group itself (110 million) and another 40 for its oil change services. The business and customer service model goes far beyond car washing. In the facilities there is cafeteria to wait while they wash in the car There is library service (in this case, free) In addition to automated washing services, facilities include manual washing boxes Basic maintenance services are offered, such as oil changes If you wonder how much it costs to wash the car in such a place, the answer is … it depends. The basic programs start from 12 euros, which include interior washing up to 40 euros, and the most premium washing rises to 75 euros including tires, shine and waxed. As a curiosity, in some of the MR.Wash centers, the manager himself manually ends the service if the client is not satisfied. Image | MR.Carwash

The world’s most popular video platform is giving failures (updated)

by

Update 06/06/2025 21:08: The video platform has re -operated normally If you were planning to finish the week watching videos in YouTube And you are not getting it, calm: the problem is not on your computer or in your Internet connection. The world’s most popular video platform is experiencing failures at the moment, with several users reporting errors to access or reproduce content. In our tests from Spain, trying to enter YouTube.comthe page loads partially but shows no miniatures or content. The only thing that appears is the usual skeleton of the interface: gray blocks where videos should go, without images, without titles and without descriptive text. It is not a punctual failure: the interface directly does not work. Reports about YouTube failures too They are appearing in Downdetectora platform that includes incidents in digital services from the alerts of the users themselves. According to visible data at this time, the peak of problems began few minutes before 20:00 (Spanish peninsular time), with more than 5,000 notifications in a very short time. For now, the origin of the failures that are affecting YouTube is unknown. Neither the platform itself nor its parent company, Google (owned by Alphabet), have offered explanations about what happened nor have any official statement issued. There is also no technical information that allows us to understand whether it is a specific problem on servers or a global fall of the system. At the time of publishing this article, The official YouTube account in X (formerly Twitter) has not done No mention to the problems that are affecting the service. The last message posted dates back approximately 24 hours. The falls of this type may be due to multiple factors: from errors on the servers of the platform itself to service denial (DDOS) attacks or failures in fundamental third party services for the operation of the Internet, such as the content distribution network suppliers (CDN) or DNS.

The world’s most expensive coffee cup costs 300 euros and is sold in the only country willing to pay something like this: Japan

by

He price of a cup of coffee It is an excellent socioeconomic indicator. That “1.20 euros” of a coffee with milk in a conventional bar is the measure of measuring with which many Spaniards in recent years have compared the Daily Products Pricebut that rod has long since broke. The boom of chains like Starbucksspecialty coffee shops and trembling reality of the coffee market has caused the price of this delicious and healthy drink increase dramatically. But even if we pay more or less depending on the place where we live, there are so exclusive cafes that does not matter where we take it because its price will continue to be crazy. And one of those expensive coffees occurs on the Japanese island of Okinawa. The price? 315 euros. The cup, not the kilo. And even the most coffee experts do not know if it is worth it. Coffee that costs a third of the minimum wage We are talking about asking for a donut of a couple of euros to accompany a cup of coffee of more than 300 euros. It is complicated that many of us imagine something like that, but it is what happens with some coffees such as Nakayama Estate. And, within that it is a barbarity of money for a cup of coffee, I will turn to that xataka meme: it makes sense. Put the quotes you want here. Okinawa is just at the north limit of the so -called ‘coffee belt’, which makes it one of the most extreme areas where it can be cultivated. We have already told that coffee occurs mostly in what we know as the “coffee belt” and that, although the Climate change It is allowing coffee to develop in areas Like Sicily either Spainit is still a peculiarity that coffee occurs so to the limit of the optimal zone. In addition, Nakayama is not too high above sea level. To grow coffee, especially the Arabic varietywhich is usually used in the specialty coffee, the altitude to which it is grown must be between 1,000 and 2,000 meters above sea level. In Nakayama, farms are between 150 and 500 meters. To round the formula, it must be taken into account that they use sustainable practices without pesticides and with Japanese employees who charge higher wages than those that farmers from other coffee producing areas can collect. In summary: they are not the ideal conditions, it is difficult to harvest and the wages are high, which directly impacts the price, but there is more. Nakayama Café is not only exclusive for the achievement of carrying out such a harvest, but for the low production they get every year. Brazil is the main coffee producer and in 2022 that production was more than 3,100,000 tons. Vietnam is the second, with almost 2,000,000 tons that same year. New Caledonia is one of the most producers weakwith two tons of coffee. Nakayama would not enter the graphics, because its production is 300 kilos a year. And if we add that very scarce annual production with the factors mentioned above since coffee has distinctive notes thanks, precisely, to that low height crop, we result in a cup that is exceptionally expensive. I would be unable to distinguish a cup of this select coffee from my coffee in Costa Rica every morning, but someone can: James Hoffman. We have ever talked about him, since he was named better barista in 2007, he has such interesting recipes –I have tried this– like that of a Donut coffee and, in addition, It is coffee toaster. It has, in short, a palate qualified enough to analyze something like a cup that costs more than 300 euros. To do this, he went to one of the most expensive coffee shops: Shotin one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in London, to try this coffee. There are only special coffees, such as private crops of islands like Kona in Hawaii, Santa Helena Café (one of the most remote islands in the world) coffee Kopi Luwak that is extracted from excrement from an animal and, of course, that of Nakayama. The letter has no prices, and we already know what this usually implies. Ok, very good, but … is it worth it? According to HoffmannNo. Not quite. “It is more acid than I expected and has a good texture, a touch of wood and is very fruity,” says the British YouTuber. “The barista has done really well, there is a good barista after this coffee and it is a mature coffee, well -processed, well roasted and well done, but I do not think that its flavor and its price are connected.” In addition, he adds that he does not think he has distinctive characteristics of other low -altitude coffees that he has tried. And, although this may seem devastating, really, as I said before, it makes sense. Because, as Hoffmann, the price and perception of those 300 euros for a cup of coffee (espresso, in addition, without milk), depends on the value that we give to things, something that is linked to the size of the portfolio. It occurs with virtually any product whose price is not objective and depends on what we are willing to pay. This Okinawa coffee, better or worse, is like an exclusive wine, fashion brands, chocolate, watches, cars and What can occur to us. Because, obviously, Shot has not cost so much money, but has revalued to the extreme the price of that coffee due to the aura of exclusivity that has to be of the few coffee shops in the world that has those grains in particular. The truth is that, after writing this, I still escape from my head to pay 315 euros for an espresso and I don’t know how many Bernabéus equivalent. But I know that for the price of that espresso, you can buy three games of Nintendo Switch 2 and you have left over for a coffee from the street end. … Read more

The world’s largest amphibious plane

by

China is The country of megaconstructions. Although in recent years Arabia Saudi and Emirates Arab are trying to monopolize all eyes with impossible skyscrapers and the POLETIC CITY THE LINEtalking about really huge constructions is talking about China. From indescribable tunnels until Pharaonic bridgesthe Asian giant surprises us from time to time with a project that can only be described with one word: colossal. Within that category There are also vehiclesand China can already boast of having the largest amphibious plane in the world. AG600. That is the official name of an airplane that, during its 16 years of development, We met like ‘Kunlong’, or “Water Dragon”. It is the work of the Chinese Air Industry Corporation (or Avic), a Chinese consortium dedicated to the manufacture of airplanes, and it really huge: You can house 50 passengers. You can take off with a total weight of more than 53 tons. It has a range of 4,500 kilometers and its four turboheric engines can sustain a speed of 570 km/h. All this, measuring 36.9 meters long and with a wingspan of 38.8 meters. Is similar to a Boeing 737which is said soon. Multifunction. The AG600 design phase began at the end of the first decade of the 2000s and was an Avic task. In 2014, with the design ready, they began to manufacture the first unit. The idea was to perform the test flight in 2015, but the plans were delayed and it was in December 2017 when this mole made Your inaugural flight. During these years in the test phase, and how we read in Motorpasionthe AG600 has made maneuvers in all types of weather scenarios and has accumulated 3,560 flight hours to earn certification. This hard training responds to the function that the aircraft will have: strategic and rescue missions in conditions that can be adverse. The ship is designed to perform maritime search and rescue missions, maritime patrol and is also able to support forest fire extinction. You can collect up to 12 tons of water in just 20 seconds and download it at intervals of 12 to 20 seconds. In one of the tests it could see How water poured about 230 km/ha altitudes between 30 and 50 meters. Strategic importance. As we say, the AG600 has already been certified and can start surrendering after a simple path. Only the nose has been working for three months and in 2020 we already commented that deliveries were planned for 2022 (To see the delay that the project carried), and something interesting is that this plane can be key in China’s new commercial dream: the New Silk Route. With that capacity to travel for 4,500 kilometers without the need to reproduce, the AG600 is insurance for the maritime route closest to the Asian giant. In addition to this, it is an achievement for a country that is looking for a way to reduce the dependence on western aircraft and technology, something that is applying so much to its Commercial aircraft Like his Combat aircraft and vehicles. Only. Once the serial production of the final model begins, we can say that the Ag600 is the largest amphibious aircraft in the world, but although its size is imposing, it has distant cousins ​​that exceeded it. And as much. On the one hand, the Spruce Goose With a wingspan of 97.54 meters, a madness that was canceled after a single flight of 1.5 kilometers just 21 meters high. On the other, the Martin Marsa transport plane of the Second World War which was reconciled in HidroAvion, but which was also removed years ago, having a wingspan of 61 meters.

Kazakhstan is one of the world’s greatest uranium producers. Now has taken another step: its first nuclear power plant

by

In the geopolitical board of energy, the domain is not only measured in oil barrels or cubic meters of gas. There is a resource, silent but powerful, which is redefining the current panorama: uranium. While some countries look desperately reduce your energy dependenceothers have understood that true power lies in controlling not only the raw material, but the entire nuclear cycle. Russia has already taken the lead with A dozen centrals Under construction, but now Its largest supplier He also wants to become a strategic actor. New actor. Kazakhstan has decided to accelerate its nuclear development to address its growing shortage of energy. The government has approved the construction of Your first nuclear power plant and a plan to expand its nuclear industry. A referendum in October 2024 showed that 70% Voters support the construction of nuclear plants. This first nuclear power plant will be located in the village of ülken, in the Almath region. The government intends to build at least three more floors to make the most of its resources. Currently, feasibility studies and negotiations with international suppliers are being carried out to determine the technical and financial details of the project. The main financing will come from a Russian government loan with subsidies, and Samruk Energo It will lead the negotiations to guarantee cost efficiency. Energy shortage. The Kazakh country wants to reduce its energy dependence and face a growing internal demand. Despite being one of the countries with greater uranium reservesIt does not have an operational nuclear power plant since 1999. However, it manufactures pumping equipment for nuclear plants and seeks to expand the national production of reactor components and energy equipment. This strategy is aligned with the objectives of carbon neutrality and industrial modernization. An energy cluster. The government seeks to develop a “Nuclear cluster” that not only includes the energy plant, but also the local production of nuclear fuel. To do this, he has formed alliances with China and France. In addition, for nuclear reactors, it will have technology suppliers such as the Galo and South Korean country. The central will probably have a capacity of at least 3 GW, and more plants will be built in the future. Kazakhstan will also strengthen its electrical networks and better connect the western region with the national system. So what happens to Russia? The Kremlin remains an important actor in the global nuclear sector and has supplied Kazakhstan nuclear technology in the past. However, within the country, the concern that an agreement with Rosatom (the Russian nuclear agency) generates excessive dependence, both in technological and financial terms. The opposition has expressed fears that Russia use nuclear energy as an instrument of geopolitical influence. Problems in the past. Nuclear energy in the country has constituted a delicate issue due to the effects of Soviet nuclear tests in the region of Semipalatinsk. For that reason, as indicated Professor Kashi Nath Pandita, concerns about security and lack of transparency in regulatory processes are brought on the path of progress. Forecasts The project can be finished in the next decade, but advance it. However, the country still faces different challenges such as public distrust, environmental concerns and the need to choose a technological partner without compromising its independence. In the long term, this expansion could position Kazakhstan as an energy leader in Central Asia, reducing its vulnerability to regional energy instability and strengthening its presence in global competition for the control of energy resources.

A year ago the world’s largest olive oil company was clear that it was going to continue expensive. Now he has just shown up

by

In 2022 deoleo, the largest marketer of olive oil in the world, He won 5.5 million euros of benefits. In 2023, lost 34. It is the best metaphor of the earthquake that the olive oil industry has lived in recent years. Above all, because we are not talking about a lost oil mill in Sierra Morena, we talk about the bottling brands such as Hojiblanca, Carbonell or Koipe. Therefore, if we are interested in olive oil, we must follow them closely. One year of transition. During 2023, drought, a short harvest and the increase in costs (derived from the situation in Ukraine, the inflationary scenario and high interest rates) caused a very serious problem in the oil. We know that well. The problem is that, although They themselves recognized that they had transferred “partial (mind) to customers the increase in prices experiments throughout the chain”, it had not been enough. And that deoleo was (at least, on paper) one of the marketers that More margins had for the ‘premium’ positioning of its brands. 2024 was, then, the year of transition. What happens is that ransition has been faster than anyone expected. In fact, I was not sure what was going to happen. And, at some point, they bet because prices They were going to stay up. His analysis said that if prices at origin did not fall sufficiently, the industry would have to contain the decrease of finalist prices (or expose to bankruptcy). That It is something that has happened: prices at origin have collapsed, while in supermarkets the descent is being very soft. However, with estimates that They tell us 1.4 million tons They have already realized that there is no way to contain the price in the medium term. Preparing for 2025. Hence Víctor Roig, general director in Spain of Deleo, has explained that “the logical thing is that this returns the price of the Aove to levels similar to those of 2021 and 2022, standing between three and four euros per liter.” In this context, the battle has begun to be another. Recover the oil culture. In the last decade, the consumption of olive oil It has been falling year after year. Crisis after crisis (and with the mediation of A deep cultural and gastronomic change), wide layers of the population have dropped from olive oil and the vast majority of them have not returned. It is true that demand has not fallen into that same proportion That prices have grown. But consumption has decreased 44.5% Less in the last three years and, following the previous logic, nobody knows if the industry will recover it. And if in recovering from the losses there was a short -term survival of the industry, in bringing all those consumers back is the future.

The world’s largest elevator has more space than many floors in Tokyo

by

The skyscrapers have obsessed us for centuries. There are plenty of examples like The Italian Manhattan almost 1,000 years ago, Manhattan herselfthe Burred that rose in China or what is erecting in Dubai. Whenever the construction of a new skyscraper is announced, something that comes to mind is: and the elevators … what? They are elements that can go unnoticed, but that is something that does not happen to huge elevator of the Jio World Center tower. Not only is it the largest elevator in the world, but it has the small floor size and capacity for more inhabitants than many PEOPLES OF SPAIN EMPTY. But it is not the only hyperascensor that attracts attention. A bus without wheels. This elevator has no its own name, but, definitely, it deserves it. Created by the Finnish company Kone, the Jio World Center elevator in Mumbai has the capacity to house up to 235 people simultaneously. It is an absolute barbarity that has been designed to offer a transport as comfortable as possible for those who use it. Not only does the decoration attract attention, with large windows and a sophisticated roof with design lamps, but it has its own ventilation system so that the route is as pleasant as possible even at maximum load. The elevator floor also has a very careful pattern and we only miss the occasional sofa to rest. Space is left over, of course. Huge. Because the dimensions are recorded, with its weight of 16 tons and its surface of 25.78 m². It has several access doors to expedite the flow of users and the windows serve to have passengers have a panoramic view of both the convention center in which it is located and its gardens. It only operates on five floors, but that does not make this elevator a real monstrosity. If you are wondering how the security measures, those responsible announced that the system is supported by 18 pulleys and the cabin moves on rails fixed in steel columns. The goal is for transportation to be as comfortable as possible, without accelerons or brakes. And all this is remotely monitored to avoid dislikes. Your building is not far behind. The elevator is colossal, but its building is no less. He Jio World Center It is a space dedicated to great conventions. It is the largest in India and its exterior and interior design has no waste. Is not the only one. Now, one thing must be clarified: that of the Jio World Center is the largest elevator for people in the world both by weight and charging capacity, but there is a set that has nothing to envy: that of the office building UMEDA JANKYU In Osaka, Japan. Installed in 2010, these are five elevators of about 18 square meters with capacity for 80 people each. Built by Mitsubishi, these elevators have more merit by having more work than that of the Indian Convention Center and transporting almost 400 simultaneous people through 15 plants. The Bailong China, of course. But if you suspected that China, With its mega -structuresI would not have a hyperascensor in any of them, you are right. In fact, it has two. One of them, the Bailongan elevator that runs a height of 326 meters outdoors with capacity for 50 people at the same time and a speed of overwhelming three meters per second. There are three double -floor elevators that operate simultaneously and were inaugurated in 2002. Their views are imposing, since they are next to a cliff. And if we go to the industrialists… just as imposing, due to its capacity, it is the ship’s elevator of the three throats, also in China. It is an elevator that facilitates River traffic on the Yangtsé River and has a load capacity of up to 3,000 tons. Its platform is 120 meters long, 18 wide and 3.5 meters deep. It is a demential structure that raises the ships at a height of 113 meters, an operation that has between 30 and 40 minutes and that, although it seems a lot, is much faster than the traditional system of locks to pass ships from one side to another.

If the question is who wants to build the world’s largest data center, the answer is surprising: India

by

The data centers is the new gold fever of technology. That Mukesh Ambani, the founding billionaire of the company Reliance Group. His intention is to go beyond what the great American technological ones promise and build in India the largest data center worldwide. 3 GW. That is the energy capacity that Ambani projects for a new data center that wants to build in Jamnagar. This is stated by sources close to the project In Bloomberg. Akash Abani, CEO and son of the founder, said in a recent statement that they were building a data center in less than two years “as we have always done in – in 24 months.” An irreverent figure. At present, the largest mute data centers are below 1 GW of energy capacity, as indicated in Bloomberg with data from the DC Byte consultant. In visual capitalist They showed a year ago the largest data centers in the world. To be able to compare with the Indian project, a fact: all AWS data centers in the Northern Virginia region, in the US, about 300, add a total of 2.5 GW, when one in India could have more energy capacity that all those United centers. Amazing. The most capacity data center in the world is currently from Microsoft in Boydton, Virginia, with almost 600 MW of energy capacity. The more energy, the better. Data centers are usually measured by the energy they can provide to their servers, their cooling systems and the rest of the equipment of these facilities. The larger the figure, the more computing capacity, and here the AI ​​models have created a career to build more and larger data centers. Ambani for all. The tycoon is known for his aggressive tactics to have his rivals with price wars that few can sustain. It happened in the mobile segment and now wants to take the strategy to AI. Its objective is to reduce inference costs to a minimum to become an absolute reference in this market. This was stated In a statement highlighting that “our goal is to create the cheapest artificial intelligence in the world, right here, in India.” Astronomical cost. However, it is not clear how Reliance will finance this potential operation. According to Bloomberg estimates, a data center could have a cost of between 20 and 30,000 million dollars. Reliance Industry, the main division of the group, has about 26,000 million dollars. Jamnagar. The Indian city has a population of 650,000 people. There is the refining and petrochemical complex of Reliance, the largest in the world, but also Reliance wants to build there a renewable energy complex huge These energy sources would be especially used in that data center. Stargate in the spotlight. These days there is much of what to talk about in data centers, especially after the announcement of Openai and Softbank of PROJECT STARGATE to create a series of data centers in the US with a gigantic investment of 500,000 million dollars.
