Over the last 30 days, more than $1T has been pledged to build 50–100 GW of power for AGI, an unprecedented, Manhattan-Project-scale race to convert energy into intelligence. We break down who’s winning and why: XAI/Elon’s Colossus 2 and deep vertical integration (Tesla Megapacks, in-house chips), OpenAI’s Stargate deals with Oracle/SoftBank plus a reported $100B NVIDIA tie-up, Microsoft’s Fairwater push, Intel’s geopolitics—while Europe lags and China stockpiles energy and homegrown GPUs. Is this an AI CapEx bubble or the new reality where compute becomes the last thing we spend money on—and where being months late can cost you the race?

This week felt like the moment tools turn into infrastructure. OpenAI’s model hit a perfect 12/12 in a human coding contest and GPT-5 Codex can think in parallel for hours, which hints at agents doing the work while we set direction. We also trace what people actually use AI for, the “scheming” worry in alignment, China’s GPU push and Oracle’s giant bet, YouTube’s VO3, and why Google + Coinbase’s open payments could be the first rails for the agent economy. Twenty minutes; the signal without the noise.
