Introducing Vertebrai, MARA’s managed flexible load service. There’s power all over the grid that no one is using. A data center pays for it months before it can fill the space. A wind farm gets told to stop when the grid is full. Vertebrai puts that power to work, then steps aside the moment it’s needed. Watch how it works:

Vertebrai is a bridge between power being ready and a data center being ready. Proud of the team putting nearly 10 years of MARA's computing experience to work for others with underused power.

$MARA just found a way to monetize power BEFORE the AI tenant even shows up: -The company just launched Vertebrai, and I think this is one of the smartest additions to its power strategy yet -Vertebrai lets MARA deploy modular compute at sites with underused power and start generating revenue from that electricity immediately -The load can ramp down almost instantly when the owner needs the power back or when selling power to the grid becomes more attractive -For future data center sites, this means power doesn’t have to sit idle for years while construction and tenant onboarding happen. MARA can monetize it during the transition -The equipment can then be scaled down or relocated once a higher-value customer is ready to use the capacity Scarce power is already becoming one of the most valuable assets in the AI buildout. Being able to monetize it at every stage before it eventually becomes AI infrastructure makes it even more valuable.

MARA CEO @fgthiel: "Vertebrae is the most ideal load bank, because it actually makes money. It'll become its own business." $MARA is applying real-time load-balancing tech originally meant for wind farms straight to AI data centers. Hyperscalers are already showing interest.👀👇🏻

AI is moving so fast, what should we even build? We're excited about the opportunity for AI to accelerate abundance, help us better understand each other, and who knows what else
