Hand-picked News
Amazon is quietly transforming Indiana farmland into a $11B AI megastructure that could rival the human braināand itās already drying up local wells.
30 data centers are planned, with 7 already rising on 1,200 acres of cropland.
The project will guzzle 2.2 gigawatts of powerāenough for a million homes.
Locals are protesting as wetlands vanish and water supplies dwindle.
Anthropic, the AI startup behind Claude, is the main customer. Amazonās custom Trainium 2 chips will power the whole thing, aiming to outpace Nvidia and OpenAI in the AI arms race.
ā ļø This isnāt just about computeāitās about control. Whoever owns the infrastructure owns the future of intelligence.
š Watch for more āAI townsā popping up across the U.S.āthis is just the beginning.
To beat China in the AI race, Trumpās team is drafting executive orders that could fast-track energy projects and bulldoze red tapeābut critics warn it may bulldoze more than that.
AI power demand could grow 30x by 2035, straining U.S. grids like never before.
The plan may offer federal land for data centers and skip state-level permits.
Projects stuck in queue could leap ahead if theyāre āshovel-ready.ā
The U.S. is facing a massive energy bottleneck as AI models devour electricity. Trumpās orders aim to unlock grid access and land, while declaring a national energy emergency to clear the way.
ā ļø This is a high-stakes gamble: speed vs. sustainability. The U.S. might win the AI raceābut at the risk of gutting environmental safeguards.
š If youāre building in AI, nowās the time to watch where the power flows.
In a twist no one saw coming, OpenAI is now using Googleās AI chips to power ChatGPTāmarking a major shift away from Microsoft and Nvidia.
Itās the first time OpenAI has meaningfully used non-Nvidia chips.
The chips come via Google Cloudās TPUs, not the most powerful ones, but still a big move.
The goal? Cut inference costs and scale faster as demand explodes.
OpenAI has long leaned on Microsoftās infrastructure and Nvidiaās GPUs. But with AI workloads ballooning, itās now tapping Googleāyes, a direct competitorāto keep up.
š This deal shows how even rivals will team up when compute is king. And it could boost Googleās TPUs as a legit alternative in the AI chip wars.
ā If youāre building AI products, donāt sleep on TPU pricing and availability shifts.
