    Fusion, the interconnect pro=
    tocol, switches, chiplets, and software
    stack Nvidia uses to bind racks o=
    f GPUs into one tightly coupled
    compute domain, since Apple's own UltraFu=
    sion tech stitches two chips
    together but has no answer for the larger-sc=

    servers would need.=20

    -scale sites like its
    Abilene, Texas data center used by OpenAI, and Spar=

    anywhere. Building these in-house lets Crusoe deploy compute fast
    w=
