SoftBank Group is prepping to build a new AI data center in Ohio that could reach 10 GW of power demand and cost $30 billion to $40 billion for the computing infrastructure and a further $33 billion for a natural gas power plant, reports Bloomberg.
When completed, the new site could be one of the largest AI data centers ever built. Furthermore, it will be powered by one of the world’s largest fleets of gas turbines, equivalent to the energy supply of nine nuclear reactors.
It’s gonna be weird when a lot of people switch to using local models…
That’s one of the reason they’re gobbling up all GPU and RAM. They don’t want local models being viable to most people.
Yep, I don’t even really like these things, but ollama is a docker container away and the models work just fine on my several year old AMD laptop GPU.
