Japanese tech giant SoftBank is building a massive 10GW data center in Ohio to host AI models. Aside from the cool $30–40 billion price tag, it will require the build of a $33 billion natural gas power plant – with an insane output capacity (emphasis mine):
When completed, the new site could be one of the largest AI data centers ever built. Furthermore, it will be powered by one of the world’s largest fleets of gas turbines, equivalent to the energy supply of nine nuclear reactors.
It does leave you wondering where and how all this will end.
