Wave power is transmitted back to land, usually, it won’t be a floating data center. At least I doubt it would be, but who knows, they are pretty awful people.
Transmitting power to the mainland was the company’s original pitch. But those cables are expensive so now they are pitching AI workloads in the ocean that will communicate via satellite
It’s a floating data center. They started out as autonomous hydrogen electrolysis in the middle of the ocean, then shipping liquid hydrogen back to land. Now they pivoted to using the hydrogen to power onboard compute

So they generate electricity from wave power then use that to electrolyze water and put that to a catalyst to generate electricity?
Seems unnecessarily overcomplicated with lots of inefficiencies. Why not just power the computer’s directly?
Definitely wasteful to convert. I’m guessing the hydrogen is a store for when waves aren’t wavey.
