Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where OpenAI comes up
Inside a $300 million bet on AI for physical R&D
- ▶ 6:05 Doge Chubuk Um, but I think right around when we were talking, the O-one came out, right? 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 6:50 Shayle Kann The reasoning model, like OpenAI's a one model, uh, introduced, unlocked a door, kind of, that maybe allows you to break this challenge of the limited training data set that you have in materials discovery.

- ▶ 15:25 Doge Chubuk You know, when we think about OpenAI and DeepMind, I remember back in 2016, people used to make fun of these institutions for prioritizing AGI so much, because they were saying we're going to do AGI.
- ▶ 34:50 Shayle Kann The O-one model and so on.
- ▶ 34:53 Shayle Kann Is there a next, like, what could change in, what could open AI release in a year or two years from now that would be a big leapfrog for you? 2 times in the scene

- ▶ 9:13 Sam Smith-Eppsteiner So most of the data is private and proprietary and lives on these customers' cloud in a best case scenario, maybe on-prem, um, but certainly not in sort of like the public domain where OpenAI has trained on it.
The potential for flexible data centers
- ▶ 8:31 Tyler Norris Project Stargates, which, you know, is the, the mega data center initiative announced by President Trump and OpenAI in January.
A skeptic’s take on AI electricity load growth
- ▶ 18:30 Shayle Kann oh my god, there is going to be, we have such a huge need for new data center capacity, all of the hyperscalers, and then OpenAI now at Stargate and all these other things.
- ▶ 30:52 John Koomey People are trying to sell AI and make money from it, and the question of whether people are willing to pay for the service being delivered is, I think, an open question because they're, you know, they're charging, you know, open AI right…
