Common Industry Terms

Ocean Grid

Ocean Grid is AI Sea's offshore computing platform that combines wave power, AI hardware, seawater cooling, satellite links, and marine structures. It matters because it creates new AI capacity without relying on land grids or freshwater.

Hemispheric Balancing

Hemispheric balancing is the practice of spreading Ocean Grid Nodes across different oceans and shifting AI workloads between them. It matters because it turns variable wave energy into a more reliable global compute resource.

Wave Power

Wave power means generating electricity from the motion of ocean waves instead of the land grid. It matters because it unlocks new, renewable energy for AI without competing for scarce onshore power capacity.

Native Seawater Cooling

Native seawater cooling uses the surrounding ocean to remove heat from AI hardware. It matters because it cuts cooling energy use, avoids freshwater demand, and supports higher density compute within each offshore Node.

Satellite Connectivity

Satellite connectivity links offshore Nodes to customers and cloud networks using low Earth orbit satellites. It matters because it allows AI workloads to run at sea while fitting cleanly into existing cloud and networking practices.

AI Inference

AI inference is the stage where trained models answer live queries or process data in production. It matters because it drives the constant, large scale compute demand that Ocean Grid is designed to support efficiently.
