Scaling AI and Getting More Efficient

Kaplan/Chinchilla scaling laws provide a broad description of the resources needed to improve AI. The measured relationship is that loss falls as a power law in compute: L ≈ L∞ + A·C^(-α), with α somewhere around 0.05–0.07 for language models. Each halving of excess loss costs roughly 10–1000x more compute depending on the exponent. Converting …

XAI Grok 4.6 is Third Place But Close to OpenAI and Anthropic

Theo is a developer and founder heavily involved with agentic coding tools, T3 Code, Cursor integrations, and AI model testing. He reviews xAI’s newly released Grok 4.6. He notes xAI has accelerated dramatically since acquiring Cursor, moving from long dry spells to rapid back-to-back releases. Grok 4.6 It is not a new pre-train but a …

Microsoft Will Lease 3+ Gigawatts of AI Data Center from SpaceX in 2027

Microsoft has already signed 10GW of AI data center contracts year-to-date for over $300B of total contract value, but those contribute to late-2027 and 2028 capacity, leaving a near-term gap to fill. Semianalysis has calculated the tokenomics of OpenAI and Anthropic at $100 billion per year per gigawatt. Microsoft can also monetize at $100 Billion …

Coreweave Leasing AI Data Center Facilities

CoreWeave ahas heavy reliance on leasing (rather than owning) data-center facilities. It uses a standard real-estate technique—capitalizing an ongoing rent stream—to put leased capacity on the same footing as owned capacity for honest cost comparisons. Breaking down the numbers $165/kW/month** is a representative (or modeled) base rent rate for CoreWeave’s colocation/powered-shell leases. 1 MW = …

What Contracted Power Actually Means and What is Available for New Contracts

It is a procurement metric, not a sales metric. There are three separate stacks and the industry deliberately blurs them. CoreWeave’s 3.5 GW contracted power and its $99.4B backlog are two different books. How tightly is the second mapped onto the first. They are very tightly, by design, because layer 3 is the collateral for …
