Deck: AI capacity is being built as physical infrastructure: powered, sited, financed and politically prioritized. Chips still matter, but the binding constraint is moving toward electrons, memory capacity and software that lets compute move across silicon.
Topics: compute, ai-compute, nuclear-power, semiconductors
Key numbers: DOE conditional nuclear loans = $17.5bn · Large reactors targeted = 10 · Project Kilby full build-out = ~2.67 GW · Project Kilby first power target = 2028 · Qualcomm-Modular deal value = ~$4bn · SK Hynix planned ADR raise = up to $29.4bn
