当然在 Google 没有，但正如你所说，就建设的规模和转型的速度而言，我认为在人类历史上都是难以置信的。
Certainly not at Google, but as you said, I think in the history of humanity in terms of the build-outs and the pace of transformation, really unbelievable.

AI 数据中心很可能是专门定制的，与硬件协同设计，甚至到冷却和电力分配等方面。
An AI data center likely is going to be much more purpose-built, co-designed with the hardware, even to the point of cooling and power distribution, et cetera.

我认为肯定是一天多次的规模，也许取决于具体的配置，每小时多次，总会有东西出故障。
I think that it is definitely going to be at the scale multiple times a day, and perhaps depending on the exact configuration, multiple times an hour, something is going to fail.

如果有一个常见的故障原因，我们早就弄清楚并修好了。它是一个持续发现的长尾。
If there were a common failure reason, we’d have figured it out and fixed it. It is a long tail of constant discovery.

你必须每六个月把那硬件生成 token 的能力翻一倍。而其中来自软件的部分会和来自硬件的部分一样多，甚至更多。
You have to double the capability of that hardware to generate tokens every six months. And as much or more of that is going to come from software as it is from hardware.

就像芯片的苦涩教训是，专用化永远不会赢。
It’s like the bitter lesson of chips is that specialization never wins.

每一层可能会有 10%、20%、2 倍的差距。你把这些优化机会相乘起来，突然之间你就得到了一个很大的端到端机会，不管你想怎么表述，比如每瓦智能或每瓦效益。
And so there might be 10%, 20%, 2x across each of these layers. You start multiplying those optimization opportunities through, and all of a sudden you’re left with a big end-to-end opportunity in terms of whatever you want to say, intelligence per watt or good per watt.

但如果非要我从根本上回答，我会说电力是我们面临的最根本的单一约束。
But if I had to answer fundamentally, I would say that power is the single most fundamental constraint that we face.

我们的硬件工程师使用 AI 的程度和软件工程师一样多。而且生产力已经提升了。
Our hardware engineers are using AI as much as the software engineers are. And productivity has gone up.

但在太阳同步轨道上，你的太阳能电池有 90 到 100% 的光照覆盖率，而地面上只有 28%、30%，也许 35%。
But in a sun-synchronous orbit, you have 90 to 100% coverage of sunlight on your solar cells relative to 28, 30, maybe 35%.
