Panthalassa is building floating "nodes" that harvest wave energy in deep ocean to power data centers, addressing the power constraint limiting AI infrastructure expansion on land. The company is engineering hardware that converts offshore remoteness into an asset: abundant renewable energy and cooling. If viable, this relocates compute infrastructure away from the grid entirely. The consequence is concrete: cloud providers could bypass utility and government negotiations over power allocation, shifting where computational capacity gets built and who controls it.
