Dwarkesh Goes Inside Jane Street's Latest AI Data Center (video)

Twenty years ago, our "cluster" was just 6 Dells stacked on the floor of our office. Today, come tour our new Texas datacenter: 4,032 GPUs, liquid cooled.

Their hiring is surprisingly very meritocratic, if you can solve any of their monthly puzzles, they will unconditionally grant you an interview & likely a job offer.

For the current offer: Jane Street: Puzzles

And an archive of previous puzzles (with solutions).

For those who are computer science oriented their podcast signals and threads is lots of fun I recommend it. In particular they interview Daniel Pontecorvo on their facilities in general. Some of the solutions they have come up are very interesting and reminded me of some solutions we used in the music world. For example they use a raised platform to run air, data and electricity to workstations on casters so they can move workstations often. This is how we would rig up outdoor tours. Racks and amps on casters and modular raised stages were safer and faster to set up.

Of course I always enjoy time in server rooms. While I’ve never had the pleasure of working on one quite like the one you have linked. “Started with six dells on the floor” It’s a great lesson never despise small beginnings.
