# 3D tour of an AI data centre

> A 3D film that travels from the power grid down to Blackwell silicon inside an AI data centre. Claude Opus 5.5 on high made it from one short prompt in 35 minutes, as a single HTML file with no 3D assets, the creator says.

## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this video

These are the creator's published instructions, unedited.

To adapt it: Swap "an AI data centre" for the place or machine you want toured, such as "a container ship" or "a chip fab".

## Prompt

```text
show me what goes on inside an AI data centre.
```

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A light, clean 3D explainer in a pale grey world: a data-centre building, its power yard, the data hall, a GPU rack, a compute tray and chip, and the cooling loop, each with a bold caption.

- Color: Pale grey and white ground and models, with coral-red for heat and power, cyan and blue for coolant and data, a green circuit board, and copper-brown cable runs.
- Type: Large black condensed sans headlines bottom left ("Inside an AI data centre", "One rack, 72 GPUs", "Getting the heat out") over small grey body text, small legend labels top right, and a player bar along the bottom.
- Framing: Wide 2:1 frames. The camera moves from aerial views of the building down into close-ups of a single rack and chip, with the caption block pinned bottom left and a progress bar with chapter controls at the foot.
- Structure: The building with heat plumes, power arriving across the yard, the data hall aisle, a rack of 72 GPUs, the compute tray, where the maths happens on the chip, the backplane of 72 GPUs as one, and getting the heat out through pipes to rooftop coolers.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: yes, a single prompt with no follow-ups
- Agent time: About 35 minutes
- Reported spend: About 7% of the creator's usage
- Notes: Run with the model on high effort. The creator describes the result as a 2.5-minute film in one HTML file with zero 3D assets; the posted video is about 98 seconds.
