Bitcoin miners, AI cloud providers, and high-performance computing operators are finding common ground in their need for computing power. While bitcoin mining relies on specialized chips, AI and HPC services use more flexible hardware like GPUs and TPUs. Both require significant power supply, advanced cooling systems, and fast internet connections. The main difference lies in their end goals, with bitcoin mining focused on securing the network and earning rewards, while AI data centers aim to advance machine learning and deliver AI services. Some mining companies are now venturing into the AI services world due to infrastructure compatibility and new revenue opportunities. This shift marks a natural progression as the boundaries between computational work blur.
