Data Center Revolution · Rewiring the Data Center: Drew Baglino on Power, Scale, and the AI Boom · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

The answer to that, the way to accomplish that growth is to step back and say, are we doing it the best way we could do it?

You know, from the Roadster in 2006 to the Model 3 that Tesla makes today, the number of parts that have been deleted, simplified, elegantly combined, you know, subcomponents turned into subsystems, turned into systems and fully optimized.

That's how you got...

$150,000 to $200,000 Tesla Roadster to a $40,000 Model 3, right?

And we're in that phase of the data center build-out outside of the compute.

And when you look at the compute, it's happening too.

I mean, Jensen goes up on stage and talks about how many tokens per watt

you know, how that curve of tokens per watt is going up and to the right with, like, every generation.

That's making it easier to... That's making it possible for intelligence to be more and more affordable, right?

Because as you bring the tokens per watt down...

I mean, as you produce more tokens per watt, every query becomes more affordable, more accessible to more people.

And you can do more in a particular data center footprint, right?

Like you can return on capital.

And that's because they've been dramatically improving like the elegance of the architecture inside of the compute.

And I think we have the same opportunity on the power side.

Sure.

I think it's actually just straight up power density.

So to deliver those tokens per watt improvements, and you're bringing more and more GPUs together on the copper plane, because that's where the latency is the lowest, that's where you can get the most efficient compute, that's a power density problem.

So that's why these racks are going up in power.

It's
