As-of date for the status/metrics.

2026-03-24

Short description of the construction status at that point in time.

Building 3 and 4 look complete, but are not fully operational. Not as many cars are parked next to it as Building 1-2 which suggests they may still be ramping up. Building 4 was due by now according to a regulatory filing. Building 5 still has light construction activity, while Building 6 still lacks chillers. The on-site power plant to the right of Building 2 looks complete.

Count of buildings operational by this date.

2

Total IT power capacity in megawatts, including power for GPU servers, network infrastructure and storage.

211.0

Total facility power capacity in megawatts, including the IT power and power for cooling, lighting, etc.

295.0

The number of NVIDIA H100 GPUs that are equivalent to this data center’s compute capacity, based on 8-bit OP/s.

254674
