Lambda and ECL Bring the First Hydrogen-Powered NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 Systems Online
SAN FRANCISCO, September 23, 2025--Lambda, the Superintelligence Cloud, today announced the deployment of the industry’s first hydrogen-powered, production-grade NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems at ECL’s Mountain View campus (MV1), a zero-water and zero-emissions off-grid modular data center that operates entirely on hydrogen fuel cells for AI inference and foundational model training with unprecedented efficiency.
