5GW committed, majority on Trainium — roughly a quarter of Bitcoin's annual energy draw earmarked for one model lab on non-Nvidia silicon. Akash and Render keep pitching themselves as the answer to AI compute bottlenecks; deals this size show training is consolidating into 3-4 hyperscaler alliances while DePIN networks pick up inference scraps. The Nvidia moat thins every time AWS ships another Trainium cluster, and the power-sourcing story for 5GW at this pace is going to get interesting fast.
