Frontier AI token economics drive $100M/MW/year revenue, unlocking massive data center buildout

OpenAI and Anthropic achieving 85% gross margins on API inference implies $100M revenue per MW per year. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle: higher token revenue funds more compute, whic…

Inference API economics drive $100M/MW/year vs $12M IaaS

Frontier labs achieve 85% gross margins selling tokens via API, creating $100M/MW/year revenue vs $12-13M for traditional IaaS. This 8x premium drives unlimited compute demand and justifies…

90-day cancellation on-demand contracts shift data center risk from hyperscaler balance sheets to providers

SpaceX's 90-day cancellation terms let Microsoft/Google treat GPU capacity as OpEx not CapEx. CFOs can approve $50M/MW/year for 6-12 months with only 3 months risk. This unlocks demand that…

90-day cancellation contracts unlock CFO approval for emergency capacity

SpaceX's 90-day cancellation policy with monthly payments (~$50M/MW/year) creates off-balance-sheet flexibility: CFOs approve instantly vs 10-20 year binding leases ($300B+ contractual), ma…
