LiquidStack has put its GigaModular platform on general sale. A coolant distribution unit, or CDU, is what stands between the building's water and the clean loop that reaches the servers. The tested capacity has grown from the 10 MW concept shown in 2025 to arrangements of up to 14 MW.
It is assembled from 2.5 MW blocks under one set of controls. That is the interesting part: rather than one enormous unit, a site can install a few blocks now and add more as racks arrive, which matches how AI capacity is actually funded and delivered.
The company says several modules have been run together at full load and that the platform holds independent safety certification. Buyers should still insist on capacity figures at their own water temperatures and redundancy requirements, because a rating measured under favorable conditions will not survive contact with a real site.
A 14 megawatt label does not mean one unit can cool 14 megawatts under every condition. Heat-transfer capacity changes with the temperature difference between the facility loop and the server loop, the allowed flow and pressure, and the number of pumps or modules reserved for failure. The useful procurement question is net capacity at one written duty point with one component unavailable. Module controls also matter because a plant assembled from blocks has to stage pumps smoothly as computing load rises and falls.
The release matters because distribution equipment is moving from rack and row scale into plant scale. That can reduce the number of assets an operator maintains and let capacity arrive in repeatable increments. It can also enlarge the failure domain. A controls fault or common header problem may affect several megawatts unless the hydraulic design provides real isolation. General availability therefore says the product can be ordered; it does not show how many sites have accepted it or how it behaves over a full operating year.
LiquidStack is the only cited source. It reports multi-module full-load testing and independent safety certification, but does not publish the test setup, certificate identifier, primary and secondary temperatures, pump energy, customer, or commissioning history. A public data sheet, certificate, witnessed performance test, named order, and operator acceptance would narrow those limits. Until then, the release supports commercial availability and a tested arrangement, while the 14 megawatt figure remains a supplier rating that each project must normalize.
