Our team is now diligently removing the associated cabling, power distribution units, racks and other mining infrastructure to facilitate this transformation," said Adam Sullivan, CEO of Core Scientific.
"We remain committed to delivering powered infrastructure equipped with advanced liquid cooling systems, specifically optimized for AI GPU cloud workloads, for our HPC customer beginning in the first half of 2025."
