was uh the wine was flowing that night.
We went uh a a significant amount of wine and uh I didn't see the prices, but I uh I think they were they were not cheap.
Yeah, the electrons are flowing and uh they're turning into tokens and uh you know helping helping ac accelerate this new era of AI abundance.
Um
Yeah, I mean look, I I I think uh, you know, as as demand for AI infrastructure's grown and demand for power has grown, um, you know, that there's been a significant amount of uh investment in real world uh you know, power production capabilities and and facilities um that uh are are becoming, you know, real significant bottlenecks towards uh towards this build out.
Um and so, you know, each incremental gigawatt is getting increasingly uh more challenging.
Um now, you know, the positive side is, you know, that um I think a lot of the investments and the foresight that we had at Crusoe are uh you know paying dividends today.
And um if we look at, you know, all of the progress that's been made in, you know, the campus in Abilene, Texas, like you know, our our philosophy in sort of designing and building that campus was, you know.
How do we build a a gigawatt scale computer?
How do we build a a single facility that can act as one giant coherent cluster that can that can train the next breakthrough foundational model that will leave to lead to a step function improvement in the model capabilities?
Um that was like the that was the North Star when we developed the campus and designed it.
Today we're seeing the fruits of those labor.
Um no, but y you know what I was gonna say is you know the the the benefits of that is you know the first two buildings which were the initial contract that you know we did with Oracle and OpenAI um have led to the training of Astra.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So um I don't know if you've had a chance to play around with, but you know, it's it's uh it's a really phenomenal model.
Yeah, yeah, and
Yeah, and the next the next phases are coming online with, you know, buildings three to eight, um, which, you know, is gonna basically quadruple the compute capacity.
You know, three to six are already online and uh seven and eight will be coming online before year end and
Um, you know, having uh having that full uh eight building compute capacity to train, you know, the next version, uh, you know, the next incremental improvement in the model.
