The AI revolution needs more than models - it needs massive infrastructure. And Julien Gauthier is building it. In this episode of Uplink, Julien, CEO of Arkane Cloud, joins host Michael Reid to unpack how his company scaled from 3D rendering and gaming to delivering GPU cloud services for AI workloads across the globe. We explore how Arkane built a 1,000-GPU cluster in Paris (with capacity for 6,000), the rise of inference workloads in Europe, and the real-world engineering and business challenges of deploying high-density infrastructure - including cutting-edge liquid cooling handling 135kW per cabinet.

Discover why the rise of AI-based robotics makes observability crucial from day one. François Baldassari explains how collecting real-world data ensures safety, enhances performance, and drives long-term success in the ever-evolving robotics industry. Don't miss this insightful discussion!

What if a broken arm didn't break your workflow? Follow Alice as she faces tough circumstances, but still gets the job done. Nursing a broken arm in a sling, she uses built-in accessibility features like Voice Input for Now Assist to set up the ServiceNow AI Platform for a new client—hands-free. This is how we turn accessibility into opportunity—building forward-lthinking features that solve real problems and work better for everyone.

At Datadog, we use Cursor to empower our teams to build more quickly. And we know that building and troubleshooting with AI tools like Cursor is done best with the right observability data and context. Discover how Cursor was able to rapidly and reliably scale their infrastructure 100x using Datadog to meet the needs of a fast growing user base. And learn more about how we’re bring Datadog tools and context to your favorite AI IDEs and agents with our MCP Server and extensions.
