From air-cooled gear to liquid-cooled GPU racks pulling hundreds of kilowatts, Meta’s AI infrastructure is transforming what it means to be a thermal mechanical engineer.
As Joshua Held shares, the AI renaissance pulled his team into the front lines of designing rack-scale systems, liquid cooling, and dense GPU deployments, turning what once felt like a niche specialty into a creative awakening.
In this @Scale episode with Joshua Held and Yashar Bayani, hosted by Francois Richard, they dive into GPU racks, liquid cooling, power constraints, and how Meta is pushing copper and optics to their limits to build next-generation rack-scale AI systems.
