☝🏻 **OpenAI Plans to Consume as Much Electricity as the Entire Country of India**
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed an ambitious goal: by 2033, the company aims to scale its computing capacity to **250 GW**. (Tom’s Hardware)
This is often compared to India’s energy consumption — though technically it’s about **installed / planned capacity**, not the country’s actual current consumption. (iXBT)
To reach this scale, up to **60 million Nvidia GPUs** will be required, with **30 million new GPUs annually**. (Tom’s Hardware)
The estimated cost for energy infrastructure alone could reach **$12.5 trillion**. (BTCC)
Environmentally, emissions from such data centers are projected to be **twice as high as ExxonMobil**, one of the largest private carbon emitters. (Tom’s Hardware)
Altman describes this massive expansion as a form of **“brutal industrialization”**, aiming for **Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)**. (Fortune)
