Episode notes
OpenAI’s $300B Cloud Commitment
- OpenAI signed a roughly $300 billion, five-year deal with Oracle for computing capacity starting in 2027.
- The pact demands 4.5 gigawatts and highlights how AI spending is driving enormous data-center builds.
Huge Contract, High Financial Risk
- The deal is risky because OpenAI's revenue (
$10B) is far smaller than the average yearly cost ($60B) implied by the contract. - Oracle must shoulder heavy capital and likely debt to supply chips and build data centers for that commitment.
A Trillion-Dollar Infrastructure Wave
- AI infrastructure spending is massive: analysts project $2.9 trillion for chips, servers, and data-center infrastructure through 2028.
- Companies are tapping new debt markets to finance the build-out, creating a modern Wall Street gold rush.
