With respect to consumption, it’s pretty efficient vs older traditional servers, though I know workloads like that aren’t completely fungible. Nonetheless is bears keeping in mind that a single GB200 NVL72 rack provides 1.4 ExaFLOPS of AI compute (at FP4 precision, ideal circumstances, but this is envelope math all around). So it’s power efficient, for what it is.

Since you and me and everyone else will foot the elecricy bill. Energy consumption or efficiency is not a concern.

Something is probably happening but I don't know what it is. Maybe this is really a negotiation over price.

OpenAI is a unreliable narrator as long as Sam is in charge. Full stop. EM_DASH.

I agree with you more than I agree with the parent comment.

To use the hit HBO TV show silicon valley analogy, it is far more likely that "the bear is sticky with honey" will happen at Oracle than at Open AI. Some kind of game of telephone gone wrong at some point and now the people responsible at Oracle must double down in order to kick the can to the next quarter and not appear clueless.

Statutory disclaimer: I am not affiliated with either Open AI or Oracle and have no insider information. All of this is mere conjecture and has no basis in reality.

Don't forget the possibility that it's AI slop.

> CNBC are clueleess?

That sounds about right.

> People at openai are lying to cnbc?

Remove "to cnbc" and that's a yes.

> cnbc are fabricating stories while drunk?

Maybe not drunk but likely high.
