## Quote — verbatim

> The rate at which the energy needs are evolving for training state-of-the-art models is about doubling every two years right now... Grok 3 is reportedly, or believed to be, trained on a 35 megawatt capacity, and this year we'll need about 70 megawatt capacity to train the next generation, I believe Grok 4.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Opening of his energy-crisis argument; frames state-of-the-art training as an exponential energy problem.
