Daukar Google na dala biliyan 17 a kan kayan aikin AI: abin da yarjejeniyar Crusoe Wyoming ta koya wa kowace kasuwanci game da ainihin farashin hankali

Introduction: Me ya faru idan kamfanin da yake gina makomar AI ta ku ya yanke shawarar cewa ya fi dacewa ya mallaki tashar wutar lantarki maimakon ya haya ta? A wannan mako, Google ta sayi wani wurin cibiyar bayanai (data center) da ba a kammala ba a kudu maso gabashin Wyoming daga Crusoe, mai haɓaka kayan aikin AI, kuma ta yi alkawarin zuba dala biliyan 17 don kammala aikin. Darasin ya wuce Wyoming da yawa, har ma da kowace kasuwancin Ostiraliya da yake tsara kasafin kudin AI.

1. Abin da Google ta saya da gaske

A ranar 6 ga Nuwamba, Crusoe ta tabbatar da cewa Google ta samu wurin cibiyar bayananta a kudu maso gabashin Wyoming. Crusoe ta riga ta yi ayyukan riga-kafin ci gaba: zaɓin wuri, izinin gwamnati, da dabarar wutar lantarki ta hada-hada da aka gina tare da Tallgrass Energy wacce Blackstone ke goyon baya, wacce ta hada sel mai (fuel cells), wutar grid da turbin iskar gas, tare da taswirar kama carbon na dogon lokaci ta hanyar cibiyar CO2 ta yankin Tallgrass. An tsara wurin ya yi fadada har zuwa gigawatt 10 na iya aiki, wanda ya isa ya ba da wuta ga miliyoyin gidaje, ko wani babban aikin horar da AI guda ɗaya.

Google ba ta bayyana farashin sayayya ba. A maimakon haka ta bayyana burinta: dala biliyan 17 don haɓaka wurin.

2. Bayanin da ke nuna gaskiya a cikin yarjejeniyar

Sashen da ya fi bayyana gaskiya a wannan ciniki shi ne wa ya sayar da kuma me ya sa. Crusoe da farko ta yi ƙoƙarin sanya Google a matsayin abokin ciniki na wurin, mai haya ne ba mai saye ba. Rahotanni sun ce Google ta nuna damuwa game da kudin aikin da tsawon lokacin gini a ƙarƙashin kulawar Crusoe. Tattaunawar ta ƙare da Google ta karɓi makullan.

Crusoe ba mai aikin karya-dadi ba ne. Kamfanin Denver mai shekaru takwas an kimanta shi a dala biliyan 30.9 kwanan nan, ya tara dala biliyan 3.9 a watan Satumba, yana gina wurin Abilene don Oracle da OpenAI, wani wuri na megawatt 900 don Microsoft, kuma yana da Meta da kamfanin ciniki Jane Street, wanda ya sanya hannu kan yarjejeniyar cloud ta dala biliyan 13 na shekaru biyar, a matsayin abokan ciniki. Idan mai haɓakawa da irin wannan tarihi ya mika babban aiki ga abokin cinikin da ya nufa, saƙon ba game da ƙwarewa ba ne. Game da lissafin kudi (balance sheet) ne.

3. Me ya sa manyan masu girma (hyperscalers) ke ɗaukar haɗari

Gina kayan aikin AI na matakin gigawatt yanzu yana nufin samun ƙasa, wutar lantarki, ruwa, haɗin grid, turbin, sel mai da izinin tsare-tsare a lokaci guda, shekaru kafin naúrar farko ta iso. Kowane ɗayan waɗannan sarƙoƙin samarwa ya cika, kuma kowane jinkiri yana ƙara kudi. Babban jari da ake buƙata don ɗaukar wannan haɗari ya zama garin bari (moat).

Matakin Google a Wyoming ya dace da wani tsari: kamfanonin da suka fi buƙatar ƙarfin kwamfuta suna shiga cikin makamashi da gini a tsaye (vertical integration) saboda kasuwa ba za ta iya isar da iya aiki da sauri ba a farashin da suke iko da shi. Ga masu haɓakawa masu zaman kansu, wurin da ake samun riba yana karkata zuwa ƙirƙirar aiki da rage haɗari: nemo wuri, tabbatar da izini, tsara dabarar wutar, sannan sayar wa babban mai girma. Shugaban Crusoe, Chase Lochmiller, ya bayyana haka daidai: ayyukan riga-kafin gini "sun shirya aikin Wyoming don gini da aiki na karshe".

4. Yanayin siyasa a kusa da cibiyoyin bayanai

Yarjejeniyar ta zo a wannan makon da Democrats na Amurka, bayan nasarorin zaɓen tsakiya, suka sabunta kiran dakatar da gina cibiyoyin bayanai (moratorium). Wata zabe na jama'a na CNBC ya nuna cewa 56% na masu jefa ƙuri'a sun ce AI da cibiyoyin bayanai sun kasance muhimmiyar ko babbar dalili a yanke shawararsu. Matakai da dama na ƙuri'ar yanki sun riga sun hana ayyuka.

Ostiraliya ba ta da kariya daga wannan yanayi. Shawarwarin cibiyoyin bayanai a Sydney da Melbourne sun riga sun fuskanci tambayoyi game da nauyin grid, amfani da ruwa da fafatawa kan ƙasa. Duk wata kasuwanci da ke tunanin cewa ƙarfin kwamfuta zai kasance a kwance, a farashi kwanciyar hankali, a duk lokacin da ake buƙata, tana yin caca da ba a duba ba.

5. Abin da wannan ke nufi ga kasuwancin Ostiraliya

Gina cibiyoyin bayanai na Ostiraliya yana ƙaruwa, amma tattalin arzikinta yayi kama da na Wyoming: wutar lantarki da farko, babban jari, dogon lokuta. Muhimman abubuwa uku a gida.

Na farko, farashin ƙarfin kwamfuta na AI zai bi kayan aikin makamashi, ba fitowar sababbin chips ba. Lokacin da kuka ƙididdiga kudin fasalulluka na AI a cikin samfuran ku ko ayyukanku, ku ƙididdiga ƙuntatawar wutar lantarki da iya aiki, ba kawai farashin token ba. Na biyu, tambayoyin ikon mallaka (sovereignty) za su ƙara tsanani: inda ayyukan AI naku ke gudana a zahiri, a ƙarƙashin wace yarjejeniyar wutar lantarki da dokokin wace ƙasa, ya zama tambayar sayayya (procurement), ba abu na tunani ba. Na uku, gibin tsakanin kamfanonin da za su iya ajiye iya aiki da waɗanda ke hayan sauran zai ƙara yawaitawa, wannan yanayin da ya faru tsakanin Google da Crusoe, ana maimaita shi a kowane mataki.

6. Darussan duniya ga kowace kasuwanci da ke kallon kayan aikin AI

1. Dauki ƙarfin kwamfuta a matsayin hidima ta jama'a mai layi (queue), ba famfo ba. Manyan masu saye suna ajiye iya aiki shekaru gaba. Idan AI shi ne jigon tsare-tsarenku, dabarar iya aikinku ya kamata ta yi dogon lokaci fiye da taswirar software naku.

2. Bi wutar lantarki, ba sanarwar manema labarai ba. Kadara mafi mahimmanci a wannan yarjejeniyar ba ƙasa ko gine-gine ba ne, sai dabarar wutar da aka cire haɗari daga gare ta. A cikin tsararku na kanku, samun makamashi da kwanciyar farashi su ne dabarar AI.

3. Ku sa ran cewa haɗin kai a tsaye (vertical integration) zai kafa farashi. Lokacin da manyan masu girma suka mallaki wutar da gine-ginen, masu saye masu zaman kansu suna haya a kan sharuɗɗansu. Zaɓuɓɓukan masu sayarwa da yawa da yankuna da yawa su ne ƙarfinku a tattaunawa, ku bar su a raye.

4. Ku kalli siyasar kankare. Kiran dakatarwa da matakan ƙuri'a na yanki suna tafiya a hankali fiye da zagayowar samfur amma suna ciza da ƙarfi. Ku ƙidaya haɗarin izini a kowace shirin da ke ɗaukar cewa sabon iya aiki zai zo a lokacin da aka sa.

5. Ku yi kasafin kudi na zamanin lissafin kudi (balance sheet). Kamfanonin da ke shirye su bada dala biliyan 17 a wuri guda ne ke kafa yanayin kudin AI yanzu. Ingancin yadda kuke amfani da ƙarfin kwamfuta yana ƙara muhimmanci a kowace shekara, tokens da aka ɓata kuɗi ne da aka ɓata a farashin kayan aiki.

6. Ku tambayi masu sayarwa tambayar Crusoe. Wa ke mallakar kayan aikin da ke bayan mai ba ku AI kuma wanda ke ba shi wutar lantarki da gaske, kuma me zai faru ga ayyukanku idan fadadawarsu ta yi jinkirin shekara guda?

7. Ku dauki ikon mallaka a matsayin fasali (feature). Ga masana'antun Ostiraliya da ake kula da su, inda inference ke faruwa a zahiri yana zama ɓangaren bin doka (compliance). Ku sanya wannan tambaya a cikin bitar masu sayarwa yanzu, ba bayan binciken farko ba.

Conclusion:

Sayen Google na Wyoming yayi kama da yarjejeniyar dukiya kuma ana karanta shi kamar yarjejeniyar makamashi, amma a zahiri sanarwa ce: ɗimbin hankali na tattalin arziki shi wanda zai iya ba da kuɗi don makamashi a babban mataki zai gina. Crusoe ta yi komai daidai amma duk da haka ta ƙare da sayarwa ga abokin cinikinta, saboda a wannan kasuwa, lissafin kudi mafi zurfi ne ya yi nasara. Kasuwancin Ostiraliya ba za su sayi cibiyoyin bayanai ba, amma za su zauna a cikin tattalin arzikin da wannan yarjejeniya ta ƙirƙira. Lokacin fahimtar wannan tattalin arziki shi ne kafin taron kasafin kudin AI na gaba, ba bayan ƙaruwar farashi na gaba ba.
