“If you look at the amount of installed capacity needed to train state-of-the-art models… it’s doubling every 2 years. So Grok-3 roughly took about 25, 35 megawatt capacity to train… right now the state of the art is 35 MW; in [2026] it will be 70 MW, and [in] ‘28 we’re looking at 900 MW… It’s nearly impossible to get over 10 MW capacity in America.” — 00:07:39
