Microsoft Will Lease 3+ Gigawatts of AI Data Center from SpaceX in 2027

Microsoft has already signed 10GW of AI data center contracts year-to-date for over $300B of total contract value, but those contribute to late-2027 and 2028 capacity, leaving a near-term gap to fill. Semianalysis has calculated the tokenomics of OpenAI and Anthropic at $100 billion per year per gigawatt. Microsoft can also monetize at $100 Billion …

Coreweave Leasing AI Data Center Facilities

CoreWeave ahas heavy reliance on leasing (rather than owning) data-center facilities. It uses a standard real-estate technique—capitalizing an ongoing rent stream—to put leased capacity on the same footing as owned capacity for honest cost comparisons. Breaking down the numbers $165/kW/month** is a representative (or modeled) base rent rate for CoreWeave’s colocation/powered-shell leases. 1 MW = …

What Contracted Power Actually Means and What is Available for New Contracts

It is a procurement metric, not a sales metric. There are three separate stacks and the industry deliberately blurs them. CoreWeave’s 3.5 GW contracted power and its $99.4B backlog are two different books. How tightly is the second mapped onto the first. They are very tightly, by design, because layer 3 is the collateral for …

Prime Intellect Recursive Language Model

Recursive Language Models (RLMs) are a general inference paradigm that treats long prompts as part of an external environment and allows the LLM to programmatically examine, decompose, and recursively call itself over snippets of the prompt. RLMs can successfully process inputs more than an order of magnitude beyond model context window limits and, even for …

Hitting and Breaking Limits to Reach Unlimited Recursively Self Improving AI

What a 23% kernel speedup tells us about whether AI can improve itself and how to quantify the gains. In 2025, Google DeepMind’s AlphaEvolve, an AI system that discovers algorithms, found a way to make a FlashAttention kernel run 23% faster. This was a great result but it was not the beginning of a runaway …

Understanding Different AI Data Center Leasing Prices and Categories

The high $50 Billion per GW lease rates for xAI/SpaceX Colossus and similar premium, immediately available AI clusters are for scarce of ready-to-use, large-scale coherent GPU capacity. Kevin Pathrath’s is wrong about a conspiracy. He is comparing against different types of data center. The $2.7M/MW ($2.7 billion per gigwatt build figure is shell-only and brownfield. …
