AI overview

Leiphone examined the technical and commercial hurdles to shifting AI workloads toward regions with more available or cheaper power.

A scheduler may also see compute rental costs rather than the grid’s real-time electricity price, complicating decisions based on power costs. Zongji Technology CEO Fu Zhi said the company has explored distributed computing since 2023.
