Crusoe plans new AI data center in Texas

AI firm Crusoe has revealed it has designed and engineered, and is building, a 200MW GPU-focused data center at the Lancium Clean Campus outside Abilene, Texas. This facility will include high-density data halls specially designed to enable AI workloads and optimized for direct-to-chip liquid cooling or rear-door heat exchangers - while flexible enough to include air cooling. 

Chase Lochmiller, Crusoe’s co-founder and CEO said:  "Data centers are rapidly evolving to support modern AI workloads, requiring new levels of high-density rack space, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, and unprecedented overall energy demands.  We've designed this data center to enable the largest clusters of GPUs in the world to drive new breakthroughs in AI." 

 Lancium, a previous partner of Crusoe has been developing a cryptomine data center since 2020.  “Lancium’s mission to decarbonize compute for the most energy-intensive workloads and this scale and type of data center is a game-changing example,” said Michael McNamara, co-founder and CEO of Lancium.
