<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we sit down with Scott Guthrie, EVP of Microsoft&amp;#39;s Cloud + AI Group, to explore the architecture behind Azure&amp;#39;s AI Superfactory. Scott oversees Microsoft&amp;#39;s hyperscale cloud computing solutions including Azure, generative AI platforms, and next-generation infrastructure. We dive into Microsoft&amp;#39;s strategic approach to AI datacenter buildout, the innovative Fairwater architecture with its 120,000+ fiber miles of AI WAN backbone, and how Microsoft is balancing performance, sustainability, and cost at planet-scale. From dense GPU clusters drawing 140kW per rack to closed-loop liquid cooling systems, Scott reveals the engineering trade-offs behind infrastructure that powers frontier AI models with trillions of parameters. Whether you&amp;#39;re an enterprise leader planning AI adoption or a developer curious about cloud architecture, you&amp;#39;ll leave understanding how Microsoft is executing on next-gen infrastructure that transforms global challenges into opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Subscribe to The Neuron newsletter:&lt;a href="https://theneuron.ai"&gt; &lt;u&gt;https://theneuron.ai&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
