原文指出在AI时代，IT机架变得更复杂，需要GPU/ASIC、液冷、高速连接等多系统协同，ODM从单纯的制造角色演变为设计、集成和量产合作伙伴，以支持多种平台和数据中心建设。
In the early stages, ODM server assembly mainly focused on manufacturing. ODM produced standardized racks, motherboards, and server systems on a large scale. Their primary advantages were cost efficiency, capacity, and yield.
In the AI era, IT racks have become much more complex. GPU/ ASIC, high-power systems, liquid cooling, high-speed connections, and rack management all need to work together within the rack. To simplify cabling and maintenance, cableless designs may also become more common.
As a result, ODM are no longer just manufacturers. They are evolving into partners in design, integration, and mass production. Moving forward, they will support various GPU / ASIC platforms and data center designs, and help vendors build the broader AI infrastructure ecosystem.
