NPM Interconnections (US) – Episode 195: Liam Weld | Meter
May 2500:18:22Tap to summarizeIn this episode, host Kyle Younker sits down with Liam Weld, Head of Data Centers at Meter, to explore how AI is reshaping the modern data center from the inside out. While data centers are often discussed in terms of land and power, Weld explains why networking has become one of the most critical—yet underappreciated—drivers of performance and cost in AI facilities.The conversation unpacks the shift from traditional north–south traffic to east–west traffic between GPUs, why AI clusters now function more like a single massive computer, and how latency, reliability, and cabling can directly impact model performance. Weld also details Meter’s vertically integrated approach to networking, spanning hardware, software, installation, and operations, and how this enables automation and long-term efficiency.
