Comment on DeepMind AI Reduces Google Data Centre Cooling Bill by 40%parent

This wasn't clear to me either. The best I could understand was from this statement

"The purpose of these predictions is to simulate the recommended actions from the PUE model, to ensure that we do not go beyond any operating constraints."

Seems that the action was to deliver the perfect amount of cooling needed for the current/predicted load. I'm guessing the old model was sloppy with the cooling and used more power to keep the servers cooler than they needed to be.

Yep, all systems until literally ideal will have efficiencies to iron out. Unless your data center is identical to Google's, taking any specifics to play would likely be ineffective advice!
