Preet Virk
Co-Founder, COO Celestial
For this theCUBE + NYSE Wired conversation from AI Factories – Data Centers of the Future, Celestial AI co-founder and chief operations officer Preet Virk joins theCUBE’s John Furrier at the New York Stock Exchange to unpack why interconnects – not just compute – now define AI-scale performance. Virk outlines the macro shift to GPU-dense clusters (single “compute units” measured in thousands of GPUs, with data centers growing from ~100K to 200K GPUs) and details why copper links top out at ~2–4 meters while photonics becomes mandatory beyond that.
