Nine layers – interactive
Tap any layer to expand it. Load a scenario to watch the cascade propagate through the AI compute stack.
- Bottom-up: power, fabs, chips, systems, kernels, frameworks, models, serving, and applications.
- Top-down: start with a user-facing AI product and trace every dependency below it.
- Failure modes: see how energy, HBM, packaging, networking, and policy shocks move through the graph.
