Dispatchable Compute Resource
Project Ohm builds and runs distributed AI compute, moving the work in time and place to follow surplus, low-cost power.
Step 1 of 6. 12:30, Midday. Rooftop solar floods the street. The substation is under pressure.
Power grids are hitting a wall with AI. We build compute that balances the grid and solves bottlenecks, instead of creating them.
00.2How it works
At midday, roofs across a suburb send power back through the same wires that deliver it, and a wind farm on the edge of town adds more when it gusts.
Local substations were built for one-way traffic. When too much flows back, the network has to turn away clean power or pay for upgrades.
A customer sends a job. The platform weighs every place it could run on price, spare power and deadline. Best for the customer is best for the grid.
The job runs on power the network would turn away. The substation gets relief, the customer gets low-cost compute, and soon a carbon receipt.
Like a battery, the fleet soaks up surplus power and steps back when supply is short. To the grid, it is one Dispatchable Compute Resource.
Through the day, the work follows the cheapest power across the country: midday solar, overnight wind. The same platform works on any grid.

Nodes go in at substations that already have power to spare, on a nine-month target cycle, with no new power lines and no large new site to wait for.
How nodes fit into townsGeraldton, WA: our first commercial-scale deployment, being developed on the Western Power network.
Compute that acts as a controllable grid asset, absorbing surpluses and easing congestion.
Western Power has gone to market for demand that increases during Geraldton's solar hours.
Shifting compute into low-cost energy windows lowers operating costs.

One orchestration layer runs every node, and each node it adds gives it more places, more power and more data to schedule with.
The network moatDesign partners, starting with Visagio Australia, run real workloads through the scheduler.
