✎ Story body

The AI-factory conversation moved from raw compute to operations this week: what to measure, and where the power comes from.

What happened

NVIDIA published guidance on choosing full-stack observability for AI factories. The same week brought reports that SpaceX will power a Texas TeraFab with on-site generation and storage, and that US natural gas output is on track for a 2026 record.

Why it matters

Past the stage of racking GPUs, the practical questions are what to instrument and where the electricity comes from. Note that two of the five articles in this cluster are off-theme, so the grouping is loose, and the causal link between AI demand and generation trends is not established.

What to watch

Whether observability tooling appears in named deployments, and whether on-site generation for data centers becomes standard rather than exceptional.
