On July 26, The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia is in talks to guarantee roughly $250 billion of financing so OpenAI can lease a data-center campus being developed by SoftBank's SB Energy on the site of a former uranium-enrichment plant in Piketon, southern Ohio. A separate chip-financing package of up to $350 billion is reportedly under discussion. With the hardware inside, the total cost could pass half a trillion dollars. The campus's planned capacity is ten billion watts. That is roughly ten typical nuclear reactors. It is more than the average round-the-clock draw of all Greater Paris: 7.6 gigawatts, per grid operator RTE. It is a tenth of France at its all-time peak. Or ten billion phones playing this reel at once, more phones than exist on Earth. None of it is signed. These are talks, reported by one newspaper. Nvidia, OpenAI and the U.S. Commerce Department did not respond to requests for comment. If the talks collapse, the campus remains a plan. The first phase, 800 megawatts, is targeted for 2028. Every rectangle in this film sits on one grid where area equals watts: your phone is one cell, the campus is ten billion of them. The camera never cuts. It only pulls back.

Capacity figures are as planned, not as built. #Nvidia #OpenAI #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #DataJournalism
