Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Epoch AI estimates the largest AI training runs will require 4-16 gigawatts by 2030, enough to power millions of homes, if current trends hold. US AI data center capacity would need to increase 10x over the next 5 years to 50 gigawatts to support this scale, roughly 5% of the nation's total power generation.
