- Per Business Insider (via FirstSquawk), Amazon is purchasing roughly $5B of Nvidia GB300 racks, with follow-on orders running at $3B per month.
- Some of its data centers don't yet have power, leaving racks sitting wrapped in warehouses—"dark GPUs," as shown in the accompanying photo.
- AIFlowML argues this is not a demand problem but a power and financing problem—compute procurement is outrunning grid infrastructure—and breaks down who is exposed along the chain.
