Future AI Compute: Free Energy and Kimi K5 to Unlock a $5T Market
MarvinTBaumann · x · 2026-08-11
The author proposes an 'intelligence maxming' scenario: within three years, AI systems like Kimi K5 could run on NVIDIA Feynman Ultra chips in offshore data centers powered by massive, robot-managed ocean solar farms offering near-free energy.
Although the resulting productivity explosion would depress real prices, central banks would likely drop interest rates to push inflation up to 1.5%, further lowering the capital costs of these installations. The author argues this explosive growth could happen even without achieving 'true' AGI.
