Silicon Valley has bet 140M USD on Panthalassa, a startup building AI data centres that float on ocean waves. Instead of sending renewable energy to land, these wave-riding nodes would directly power AI chips and transmit outputs via satellite.Investors including Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel are backing the concept as companies struggle to build data centres on shore. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/silicon-valley-bets-on-floating-ai-data-centers-powered-by-ocean-waves/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIInfrastructure
