SATO Establishes Qritical.AI Inc. to Develop New AI Digital Infrastructure Operations
SATO Technologies (OTCQB: CCPUF) has announced the establishment of Qritical.AI Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on developing AI infrastructure. The company's first project, AI Factory 1, will repurpose up to 20 MW of hydroelectric-powered compute capacity at their existing facility in Joliette, Québec.
The new facility will be optimized for large language models (LLMs) and inference workloads, offering GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) models. The project is expected to go live within 6-9 months after securing an anchor client, featuring advanced liquid cooling and 100 Gbps multi-provider connectivity.
SATO Technologies (OTCQB: CCPUF) ha annunciato la creazione di Qritical.AI Inc., una controllata al 100% dedicata allo sviluppo di infrastrutture per l'intelligenza artificiale. Il primo progetto dell'azienda, AI Factory 1, prevede la riconversione di fino a 20 MW di capacità computazionale alimentata da energia idroelettrica presso la loro struttura esistente a Joliette, Québec.
La nuova struttura sarà ottimizzata per modelli linguistici di grandi dimensioni (LLM) e carichi di lavoro di inferenza, offrendo servizi di GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) e Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). Il progetto dovrebbe entrare in funzione entro 6-9 mesi dal momento dell'acquisizione di un cliente principale, includendo un avanzato sistema di raffreddamento a liquido e connettività multi-fornitore a 100 Gbps.
