## Quote — verbatim

> The amount of energy we need to train state-of-the-art models... is doubling every two years. Right now the OpenAI data center that's operational in Texas draws about 300 megawatts of capacity. So doubling that means by 2030 we'll need a nuclear reactor at the minimum to train the state-of-the-art model. So ChatGPT 6 or 7 is going to be a nuclear-powered data center.
