OpenAI is committing to five-year deals.
These five-year deals cost X amount of money.

And then that $10 to $15 billion for a gigawatt of data center capacity, you're paying that for five years.
Okay, that's $50 to $75 billion of cash that goes out the door to open AI for one gigawatt of capacity.
And you talk about what Sam's saying is like, hey, I need 10 gigawatts, more than 10 gigawatts.
Then you end up with this challenging aspect of like, how do you pay for that?
And hey, that's only the rental price.

Maybe it's like 16 now.
But it's very tough to get to, how do you pay $300 billion of revenue?
