Building ultra-efficient AI servers with Steiger Dynamics.

ElastixAI and Steiger Dynamics are developing server platforms designed to unlock the efficiency of reconfigurable acceleration.

“We’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished together—and excited to keep building with ElastixAI as it scales the world’s most power-efficient AI inference infrastructure.”

Designed side by side

Over the past year, Steiger Dynamics has worked alongside ElastixAI to build ultra-efficient server platforms around reconfigurable accelerator cards. The collaboration connects accelerator design with the server systems that carry it into real deployments.

More freedom at the system level

ElastixAI accelerator cards are designed to fit servers originally built for GPUs. Their power efficiency gives system designers more freedom to optimize the surrounding platform, improving both energy consumption and cost.

Built for different deployment needs

Together, the teams have designed, developed, tested, and deployed a range of server SKUs, each tuned for a different AI inference scenario—from desktop and on-premises systems to the data center.

From Telephones to Transformers: A Brief History of Quantization

Model quality used to be AI’s limiting factor. Now, it’s model economics. Where cost per token, watts per rack, and tokens per second dominate the conversation, no topic is more pertinent than model optimizations. And, in that conversation, few optimizations are as well-known, and as misunderstood, as quantization.

The AI Data Center Economy Runs on Tokens per Second per Watt

In early 2026, Microsoft disclosed an $80 billion unfulfilled Azure order backlog due to insufficient electricity to power the deployments. CEO Satya Nadella confirmed on the record that their GPUs are sitting idle in inventory, waiting for installations that can’t proceed until the grid can deliver the load.

What Becomes Possible With 100x More Tokens?

What if we could generate 100x more tokens for the same budget? What new possibilities and world-changing applications would open up if the cost of AI stopped being the deciding factor?

The Inference Economy: LLM Inference Is Everywhere, Not Just in Your Chatbot

When most people think of Large Language Models (LLMs), they think of chatbots. However, this perspective drastically understates the true scope and technical necessity of the inference market. Inference is much more than typing a prompt and receiving a response. In reality, it’s become a basic compute primitive that powers the entire AI lifecycle.
