Everything said about GPU, oldest first

Dec 5, 2024 neutral
Assertion Supported
Janous: Full-stack data center CapEx, including GPUs, costs $25M per megawatt.
“The cost of a data center today in terms of the full stack CapEx deployment all the way through GPUs is about 25 twenty-five million a megawatt or twenty-five billion a gigawatt”

Dec 5, 2024 bullish
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Janous: Compute demand will exceed available power supply through 2030.
“It's possible, though I suspect that given the, my fundamental belief is that the demand for compute, let's just say through twenty-thirty, will exceed the available power in the market. And therefore, the marginal value of the next watt or gigawatt, frankly, …”

Chubuk: GPU compute and training costs drove Periodic Labs' $300M seed
“We are going to train LLMs, we are going to use GPUs to run simulations, so that does end up being a large part of the cost. Yeah, it's funny, like, before, you know, if you asked me this question 10 years ago, I would have thought that the biggest part of the…”

Dec 18, 2025 bullish
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Competition on AI latency will force local GPU deployments in major markets
“I think the catch there will be if one of these model providers or one of these application developers makes performance a distinguishing feature of their offering, right? If they start competing on performance rather than on capability, then we're going to se…”

Insight
LLM inference prompts are processed locally on one to eight GPUs
“When you send a prompt to for processing by a large language model, that prompt is probably handled by one GPU or maybe Eight GPUs inside a single machine. So, and the reason that is, is because the model sits in that machine, the data sits in that machine, an…”

Dec 18, 2025 bearish
Prediction Not checkable as stated
If AI scaling slows, repurposed central GPUs will cannibalize edge data centers
“And if it turns out that maybe there are diminishing returns from training larger and larger models, or maybe we run out of data because we've exhausted all the data that's available on the internet. When those things happen, it may be that demand for these GP…”

Mar 30, 2026 neutral
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Data center operators refuse curtailment to maximize expensive GPU uptime
“I spoke to quite a number of kind of data center developers data center owners and basically they don't want to curtail full stop. I mean, they have fitted out their data center with the best infrastructure. They've paid a lot of money for GPUs and CPUs, extre…”

Wang: Diesel generators produce dirty power needing extra buffering for GPUs
“The power quality coming out of a diesel generator tends to be very dirty in terms of the voltage waveforms for your AC. And if you have spiky loads, it tends not to respond very well, so you have a lot of voltage sag or over voltage. So all that is very chall…”
