Why does it matter?
Training frontier models would become an energy-planning problem, not just a computing problem.
Direct quote
We project that by 2027, training a single frontier AI model will require networked computing clusters drawing approximately five gigawatts of power. When multiplied across all leading AI developers, the United States will need to deploy tens of additional gigawatts of energy capacity within the next three years to maintain its competitive edge and support AI model development at home.
