Shopify CEO Converts Wine Cellar into AI Server Room


Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke has transformed his wine cellar into a high-performance server room for running local AI models like GLM.
Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke has showcased a new trend in home AI infrastructure by converting his wine cellar into a fully functional server room.
The wine refrigerator now houses cooling for powerful GPUs. Based on visual estimates, the setup includes at least a Dell Pro Max with an NVIDIA GB300, an RTX PRO 2000 graphics card, 16TB of NVMe storage, and Dual 400GbE networking. This configuration is capable of running complex large language models, such as GLM, locally.
This case highlights the growing accessibility of high-end AI hardware for private use, blending technical performance with residential aesthetics.
