Ghi chép thực địa
Xây dựng là bảng điểm trung thực của cuộc đua AI: tuyên bố thì rẻ, nhưng bê tông, tua-bin và thỏa thuận đấu nối điện lưới thì không. Mỗi mục ở đây liệt kê công suất được báo cáo kèm theo cơ sở xác định — hãy đọc nhãn, không chỉ đọc số gigawatt.
Bắt đầu với ba khái niệm này
SA
Stargate Abilene
Chương trình đã biến 'nửa nghìn tỷ đô' thành một câu bình thường.
MH
Meta Hyperion
Một khu campus so sánh với Manhattan, đặt tại vùng nông thôn Louisiana.
AN
AWS New Carlisle (Project Rainier)
Cơ sở huấn luyện của Anthropic — công trình xây dựng không dùng NVIDIA lớn nhất trên Trái Đất.
