I gave a speech in Ohio last night related to precisely this. The formerly hollowed-out industrial heartlands of the U.S, are key to the industrial (electricity-powered) foundation upon which to deploy Intelligence. That includes ‘Intelligence Factories’ to sustain compute at

NVIDIA Launches SOL-ExecBench, Revolutionary GPU Benchmark
By
–
We now have a benchmark that turns GPU performance into a "speed-of-light" score so you can see how much hardware headroom is left. Excited to see which tools top the leaderboard. — NVIDIA AI Developer (@NVIDIAAIDev) How close can you get to the speed of light? ⚡ Introducing SOL-ExecBench from NVIDIA — a benchmark for real-world GPU kernels that measures performance against hardware-grounded Speed-of-Light (SOL) bounds, not just software baselines. It includes 235 CUDA kernel optimization problems extracted from 124 production and emerging AI models, spanning forward and backward workloads across BF16, FP8, and NVFP4 on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. Dive in:

while I agree with his general thinking about how we’ll rethink home design, seems optimistic to think that a meaningful percentage of homes would be redesigned in a 5-10 yr period https://t.co/OqXdOuhbRh

Intelligence Factories: Infrastructure Beyond Traditional Data Centers
By

You’re mistaken. Every part of the infrastructure of an Intelligence Factory: from the hardware, to the engineering, to the resource requirements, and what they are being built for, (to scale Inference) is a fundamental departure from a ‘data centre’. You’ll find out soon enough.
