Lawrence Joseph Ellison -- Chairman and Chief Technology Officer
This race goes on forever, to build a better and better neural network. And the
cost of that training gets to be astronomical. When I talk about building
gigawatt or multi-gigawatt data centers, I mean these AI models, these frontier
models are going to -- the entry price for a real frontier model from someone
who wants to compete in that area is around $100 billion. Let me repeat, around
$100 billion.
Let me say something that's going to sound really bizarre. Well, you'd probably
say, well, he says bizarre things all the time. So why is he announcing this
one? Let's be really bizarre. So we're in the middle of designing a data center
that's north of the gigawatt that has -- but we found the location and the
power place.
We've looked at it, they've already got building permits for three nuclear
reactors. These are the small modular nuclear reactors to power the data
center. This is how crazy it's getting. This is what's going on.
