Whether you think building data centers or not is a good idea it's inarguable that the per-token efficiency (power, hardware, etc) is FAR higher in a data center. That's literally what it's designed for.

		im talking per value. look at the efgiency of chinese open source models; then look at SOTA sucking gigawatts, then the proposals. America is basically proposing AI using the equivalent bloatware of Windows 11.

Probably because lots of data centres are being built (or half-built) which are sitting idle.
