## Quote — verbatim

> To build one gigawatt AI cloud, we need around 8,300 of these \[GB200 NVL72\] racks. But here's the key: they don't have to live in one facility. They can live everywhere... This is hyperscale rebuilt from the ground up to be permissionless, flexible, and resilient. The cloud of the future isn't a place. It's a planet-wide mesh of compute, and Star Cluster is how we build it.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

The "math" section of the keynote — each GB200 NVL72 rack draws ~120 kW; distribution replaces the single-campus hyperscale model.
