- New blog post for Sam Altman outlines the way for AI
- Altman will create a factory that can produce a gigawatt of new AI infrastructure every week
- Altman suggests that AI can become something we consider as a basic human rights
In a new blog post called abundance intelligence, Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, establishes the benefits of more computing power for AI and calls for increased investments in AI infrastructure. “If AI remains on the track we think it will, then amazing things will be possible,” he writes.
While Altman does not make any clear predictions about what these amazing things will be, he is willing to mouse on the potential benefits of increased calculation power can mean for the future. “Maybe with 10 gigawatt calculation, AI can find out how to cure cancer. Or with 10 gigawatt calculation, AI can find out how to give adapted guidance to any student on Earth.”
He also issues a sharp warning: “If we are limited by calculation, we will have to choose which one to prioritize; no one wants to make this choice, then let’s go up.”
Let’s go up
Altman does not write blog posts just to pontify; He generally uses them to outline the direction for the next phase of Openai’s expansion, and it is clear that it is now about increasing “calculating”. Compute is the word altman uses as a short -lived to the raw horsepower needed to run and train llms as Chatgpt.
In the real world, this horsepower corresponds to data-center-large storage-sized facilities full of servers, networking equipment and cooling equipment, and as you can imagine, they need large amounts of electricity to run and work.
Right yesterday on X.com, Altman twited a video showing progress with Openai and Oracle’s latest massive data centers in the Abilene, Texas. Part of the Stargate project of $ 500 billion, with another five data centers opening in the United States. As you can see from the video, the clean scale of the impressive is.

As we reported Tuesday, NVIDIA invests $ 100 billion. In Openai and starts with implementing as much power as 10 nuclear reactors.
In his blog post, Altman determines exactly what the goal of Openai is when it comes to data centers: “Our vision is simple: We want to create a factory that can produce a gigawatt of new AI infrastructure every week.”
It is an astonishing ambition and one he is aware will be challenging: “The performance of this will be extremely difficult; it will take us years to get to this milestone, and it will require innovation at all levels of stack, from chips to power to build to robotics. But we have worked hard on this and think it is possible.”
Which reflects the new political desire for homework technology in the United States, ALTMAN writes: “We are particularly pleased to build up much of this in the US; Right now, other countries are building things like chipsfabs and new energy production much faster than we are and we will help turn that tide.”
When AI gets smarter
Altman’s vision for the future will definitely require an incredible infrastructure building to achieve, with even more data centers than we currently have in production. The massive required power consumption has also attracted its reasonable proportion of criticism. Partly this is due to the great environmental impact of building ever larger data centers, but also because scaling of the AI ​​calculation force has so far Could not make AGI and there is no indication that it will.
Although there is no mention of AGI in his latest missive, it has been a popular theme for Altman’s previous blog post. However, he talks about what will happen when AI becomes smarter: “Access to AI will be a fundamental driving force for the economy, and maybe eventually something we consider as a basic human right. Almost everyone wants more AI working on their behalf.”
Although it seems that the achievement of AGI remains as evasive as ever, there is no reason to believe that Openai’s plans for the future will not be as innovative as we have come to expect, and Altman is eager to reveal them soon. “Over the next few months we are talking about some of our plans and the partners we are working on to make this come true,” he writes, before ending the enigmatic: “We have some interesting new ideas,” and I can’t wait to see what these will be.
