 Episode notes 
Massive US Stargate Data Center Build
- OpenAI is building five new Stargate data centers with Oracle and SoftBank inside the United States.
- The planned capacity is about seven gigawatts, enough energy to power over five million homes.
NVIDIA Moves From Chips To Infrastructure
- NVIDIA is directly investing in data center buildouts because customers must buy GPUs to fill these facilities.
- This shifts NVIDIA from GPU vendor to financier of the infrastructure that consumes its hardware.
Circular Financing Fuels Stock Rallies
- Major AI players are creating a circular flow of financing: NVIDIA funds data centers, OpenAI signs LOIs, Oracle raises capital.
- These interlinked commitments are driving significant stock price moves across the ecosystem.
