“There's a lot of noise, like one of the things we've been joking about is a lot of braggawatts. Oh, I have a gigawatt. I have a gigawatt. And there's just so much noise out there that you really want to get underneath the workload and the durability of the com…”

“Some of the, you know, broader infrastructure constraints are transformer lead times are 50 plus weeks right now.”

“The expense to stand this infrastructure up is, these chips are not cheap, right? And so, being able to utilize that over a longer horizon of workload and driving that utilization is also a form factor of, if I have it installed for training, and training can …”

“Yeah, I think there's some outliers. Very few of it gets covered in the press because nobody wants to really go on to the market where you, the grid can't meet the customer ramp demands today. I mean, full stop... But yeah, it is an outlier.”

“When we say we're going to need a gigawatt, like with what we're building right now, right next to the Dulles Airport, that they have an understanding of that power requirement”

“There's going to be some probably written about very big challenges and failures where they wanted a total capacity block, but they couldn't support the densification, or they were just building for the spike. It was very spiky, but the longer term utilization…”

“Yeah, we see a lot of text to text scenarios where that workload can be deployed, you know, in two or three markets throughout North America and service the entire market.”

“Some markets were always investigating, you know, different types of, you know, solutions via gas turbines and, Even those are backlog plus 20, 29, right?”

“Where, you know, the power, the amount of power, and even the amount of financing required to meet these upper end projections, it doesn't exist, right?”

“What we're really seeing is inference. Can come in, in like, five-ish megawatt blocks, and you can solve for it a bit differently. Now, the densification is still there, and then the private AI pieces, there's hot spots where it can be, you know, a couple of m…”

“That's the outlier of what we're seeing is that to operationalize, they would really like it to be more of a contiguous scenario where they do logically think about them as five megawatt chunks, and they want a bit of resiliency... What we're seeing is having …”

“I would say that there's been a lot of growth in that, but we see that kind of leveling out where we really see the consumption of AI or inference that's driving that regional specific growth going forward. And I think that's where it's more embedded. And a lo…”

“We operate almost three gigawatt of diesel generators today.”

“As you see bimodal, some of these more advanced reasoning models where a token isn't just generated against a prompt, and then you consume it, and it's done. A token may be generated inside of an AI world and go through multiple models to ensure that, you know…”

“I think later this year, as you know, Emerald and NVIDIA and some other partners, Digital BLT, Epri, Dominion, and PJM, we will put together the world's first, ah, A hundred megawatt commercial scale AI factory that is truly power flexible. It's custom designe…”
