Shaders are GPU programs that process visual data—such as rays, pixels, geometry, and textures—to produce specific rendering effects.

Power can account for 40% of the operating expenses (OpEx) to run an AI factory. Each watt can be spent on overhead, data ingestion, training, or generating tokens for customers.
