⚡ Jensen Huang: The AI race is shifting from chips to concrete, power, and speed
Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says the new battleground isn’t model quality, it’s who can build and power hyperscale AI data centers the fastest. A top-end US AI facility takes 3 years from ground-breaking to supercomputer-ready, while China can erect massive structures in weeks and scale energy far faster.
Speed vs. Scale
• Huang notes China’s ability to stand up large buildings even hospitals in days, giving it a construction-speed edge.
• AI capacity is now limited by permitting, land, steel, grid hookups not algorit
