"text": "There is a new permit for Giga Texas’ Cortex 2 Datacenter that has been confirmed for Optimus training that gives us some insight into the power requirements for this facility, and they are indeed huge,\n\nThe work involves the installation of a fire alarm and detection system for the Cortex 2.0 facility, specifically tailored to handle 100-200 MW of power capacity. This power rating implies a large-scale industrial or computational setup, as such levels are typical for data centers or supercomputing clusters.\n\nTo contextualize this, consider average household electricity usage in the United States, where:\n\n• 100 MW could theoretically power around 81,000 average U.S. households continuously\n\n• 200 MW could support approximately 162,000 households\n\nFor an AI datacenter, 100 to 200 MW aligns with the requirements for operating tens of thousands of GPUs, plus ancillary systems like cooling and storage!",
