At the same time, they're self-building.

You're helping them self-build their data centers.

So heretofore, they've been outsourcing to Microsoft to build the data center.

NVIDIA: OpenAI, Future of Compute, and the American Dream | BG2 w/ Bill Gurley and Brad Gerstner

That's what you're saying.

You know, you just mentioned Oracle 300 billion, Colossus, what they're building.

BG2Pod with Brad Gerstner and Bill Gurley

We know what the sovereigns are building.

You know, Sam's talking in terms of trillions.
