独白:AI数据中心的过度建设

Monologue: The AI Data Center Overbuild

本集简介

在本周的《Better Offline》独白中,Ed Zitron 探讨了为何价值 2000 亿至 3000 亿美元的 AI GPU 闲置在仓库中,为何微软等超大规模云厂商夸大了其 AI 算力,以及为何 AI 数据中心的过度建设比互联网泡沫时期的光纤铺设严重得多。 AI 芯片都去哪儿了? https://www.wheresyoured.at/wherere-all-the-ai-chips/ Dario 的引言:https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/dario-amodei-2#:~:text=Basically%20I%E2%80%99m%20saying,that%20much%20compute 订阅我的付费通讯每年立减 10 美元:https://edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo-subscription/gzqwkv54e1 现在可以购买 Better Offline 周边商品!访问 https://cottonbureau.com/people/better-offline 并使用代码 FREE99,订单满 99 美元即可享受免运费。 --- 链接:https://www.tinyurl.com/betterofflinelinks 通讯订阅:https://www.wheresyoured.at/ Reddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/BetterOffline/ Discord:chat.wheresyoured.at Ed 的社交媒体账号: https://twitter.com/edzitron https://www.instagram.com/edzitron https://bsky.app/profile/edzitron.com https://www.threads.net/@edzitron 给我发邮件:ez@betteroffline.com 有关隐私信息,请访问 omnystudio.com/listener。

Hello, welcome to this week's Better Offline monologue.

I'm your host Ed subscribe to the newsletter, premium, you know, all that good stuff.

Speaker 31

我会把链接放在里面。

I'll have the links in there.

Speaker 31

这周我想聊聊我发的一篇免费通讯,题目是《AI芯片都去哪儿了?》。

And this week, I wanna talk about actually a free newsletter I put out called where are all the AI chips?

Speaker 31

结果发现,答案要么是在仓库里,要么是在没通电的数据中心里。

And it turns out that the answer is either in warehouses or unpowered data centers.

Speaker 31

在和《卫报》合作的一项调查中,艾莎·唐和我一起做了这个报道,她特别棒。我报道说微软只有220万块GPU在运行,远低于人们以为的数量。

In an investigation with The Guardian, Aisha Down over there worked on it with me, she's awesome, I reported that Microsoft only had 2,200,000 GPUs in service, far less than people believed.

Speaker 31

虽然当时因为还要追查一些线索没法报道,但芯片的总功率估计约为19.93亿瓦,而这些GPU的安装总成本大约在500亿到600亿美元之间。

And while I couldn't report it at the time because I still had to run down some leads, the total power of the chips was estimated at about 1.993 gigawatts of capacity, with the overall cost of those GPUs installed somewhere in the region of 50 to $60,000,000,000.

Speaker 31

几周前,彭博社报道说,尽管微软声称在过去三个季度每个季度都增加了一千兆瓦的电力——这里说的“声称”是指微软在财报电话会议上亲口说的——但他们的总数据中心容量是12千兆瓦,其中只有2千兆瓦是专门用于AI的。

A few weeks ago, Bloomberg reported that despite reporting that Microsoft had added a gigawatt in each of the last three quarters, and by reporting, I mean the things that Microsoft literally said on their earnings call, that only two gigawatts out of their total 12 gigawatts of data center capacity was specifically for AI.

Speaker 31

换句话说,尽管自2022年初以来,微软在资本支出上已经花了超过2650亿美元,但实际投入使用的GPU只有大约500亿美元。我估计,价值高达1060亿美元的GPU和相关硬件现在要么躺在没通电的数据中心里,要么在未完工的数据中心里,要么在仓库里,而且整个行业几乎没有新的AI算力上线。

In other words, despite having spent over $265,000,000,000 on capital expenditures since the beginning of twenty twenty two, Microsoft has only put about $50,000,000,000 worth of GPUs into service, and I estimate that as much as 106,000,000,000 worth of GPUs and associated hardware are now sitting either unpowered in data centers, incomplete data centers, or in warehouses, and that very little AI compute is coming online throughout the entire industry.

Speaker 31

微软CEO萨钦·阿德拉去年11月也差不多承认了这一点,当时他告诉一位采访者,他有一堆芯片放在库存里插不上电,这是他的原话。

Microsoft CEO Sachin Adela had sort of admitted this in November of last year when he told an interviewer that he had a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that he couldn't plug in, and that's a quote.

Speaker 31

虽然他没提到仓库里囤积的规模,也没说实际启动的数量有多少。

Though he didn't mention the sheer scale of the warehousing or indeed how little he'd actually turned on.

Speaker 31

我这个人好奇心重,就去微软之外找更多证据,结果在几家超大规模云厂商和新晋云服务商的资产负债表里找到了线索——就藏在‘在建工程’这一项下面,公司通常就把没装好的GPU和没建完的数据中心藏在这儿。

Well, I'm a curious little critter, so I went looking for more evidence of the problem outside of Microsoft and found it buried in the balance sheets of multiple hyperscalers and neo clouds under the construction in progress line on the balance sheet, which is specifically where companies bury their uninstalled GPUs and incomplete data centers.

Speaker 31

而且这个数字在很多家那里都大幅增长了,增长幅度相当惊人。

And this number has grown across a ton of them, well, by a remarkable amount.

Speaker 31

谷歌、Meta、甲骨文、亚马逊、SpaceX、特斯拉,还有CoreWeave、iHeart这类新晋云服务商,以及Core Scientific、Applied Digital这些机柜托管公司,加起来在建工程的金额大约3740亿美元。这个数可能还偏低,因为亚马逊那部分约710亿美元的贡献,数据只更新到2025年底。

Google, Meta, Oracle, Amazon, SpaceX, Tesla, Neo Clouds like CoreWeave and iHeart and colocation companies like Core Scientific and Applied Digital all have about $374,000,000,000 of construction in progress, a figure that's likely lower than the true number because Amazon's contribution, is about $71,000,000,000, is only current as of the end of twenty twenty five.

Speaker 31

而且接下来又有两三个季度都是这样。

And there have been two now, very soon, three more quarters of that.

Speaker 31

这家公司只公布年度数据,就像我之前说的。

And the company only reports annual, like I said.

Speaker 31

这笔巨额资本支出里有一大块是谷歌的,大概一千二百二十亿美元,这真的让人震惊。

A large chunk of that larger CIP number is Google's, which sits around a $122,000,000,000, which is truly shocking.

Speaker 31

顺便说一句,在所有这些案例中,这个数字每次报告时都在增长,过去十二个季度一直如此,亚马逊的情况因为物流业务有些波动。

And in every case, by the way, the number has grown every single time it's been reported for the last twelve quarters with some fluctuation in the case of Amazon because of their logistics operations.

Speaker 31

但说实话,目前它还在持续增长。

But really right now, it's only growing.

Speaker 31

不过,并不是所有公司都会披露在建工程的数据。

Now not everybody reports construction in progress.

Speaker 31

所以这个数字并没有涵盖微软、房利美、夏朗、Equinix、Nebius、Poolside,像Vantage这样的私人运营商,中东或欧洲的主权AI建设项目,为OpenAI和Anthropic打造的私人项目,以及甲骨文或Meta那些表外建设计划——我估计这些项目的金额高达数百亿美元。

So that number doesn't include Microsoft, firmness, Sharon, Equinix, Nebius, Poolside, private operators like Vantage, any of the sovereign AI build outs in The Middle East or Europe, the private projects built for OpenAI and Anthropic, or any of Oracle or Meta's off balance sheet construction projects, which were likely, I think, numbering in tens of billions of dollars.

Speaker 31

因为这些特殊目的实体都放在资产负债表之外,所以它们不会体现在在建工程的统计里。

And because these are special purpose vehicles kept off of their balance sheet, that wouldn't be in construction in progress.

Speaker 31

要是让我猜的话,在建工程的总金额大概在4000亿到5000亿美元之间。

Now if I had to guess, the total construction in progress number is somewhere between 400 and $500,000,000,000.

Speaker 31

根据我所有的分析,我估计大约50%已经售出的AI硬件和芯片都被囤在仓库里,完全消化掉需要两年以上的时间。这意味着基本上英伟达卖出去的所有东西,都像是预售订单,要到2028年、2029年甚至更晚才能交付。

And based on everything I've analyzed, I estimate that approximately 50% of all AI hardware and chips be that have been sold is being warehoused and will take more than two years to fully ingest, which means that basically everything you've seen NVIDIA sell has been a preorder campaign that arrives sometime in 2028, 2029, or maybe beyond that.

Speaker 31

换句话说,我认为英伟达从这些提前了24到36个月就卖出去的产品中,赚了大概2031万亿美元的收入。而目前AI算力的稀缺,主要是因为大部分产能都立刻卖给了Anthropic和OpenAI,留给其他公司的所剩无几。再加上新产能的建设周期长得让人抓狂,除非你是那些顶尖的AI实验室,否则根本排不上优先级。

In other words, I think NVIDIA has made somewhere between $203,100,000,000,000 dollars in revenue on stuff that's been sold probably twenty four to thirty six months in advance, and that any scarcity around AI compute is a result of most of the capacity being sold immediately to Anthropic and OpenAI, leaving very little for the rest of the world with more capacity taking agonizingly long to build and not being prioritized unless you're one of the AI labs.

Speaker 31

所以,这一切到底意味着什么呢?

So what does all of this mean?

Speaker 31

首先,基本上任何关于超大规模数据中心建了多少容量的公告都值得怀疑。

First of all, basically any announcement of how much capacity a hyperscaler has built is suspicious.

Speaker 31

微软故意模糊它建了多少AI容量,这本身就说明整个AI行业都在这么做,而且实际可用的AI容量比我们想象的要小得多得多。

The fact that Microsoft is intentionally obfuscating how much capacity, AI capacity, I mean, it has built is a sign that the entire AI industry is doing so and that the available AI capacity is much, much, much smaller than we think.

Speaker 31

那些说12或15吉瓦即将上线的估计,全是胡扯。

All of those estimates of 12 or 15 gigawatts coming online bollocks.

Speaker 31

瞎扯。

Wank.

Speaker 31

废话。

Tosh.

Speaker 31

我不知道。

I don't know.

Speaker 31

我想不出别的词了。

I can't remember other terms for it.

Speaker 31

第二,如果微软——全球资本最雄厚、经验最丰富的数据中心开发商之一——都难以让大部分AI容量上线,那其他所有人也都一样。

Second, if Microsoft, one of the most well capitalized and experienced data center developers in the world, is having trouble bringing the majority of its AI capacity online, everyone is.

Speaker 31

说实话,我觉得亚马逊可能是唯一一家,或者加上谷歌,拥有 comparable 经验的公司,更不用说经验更丰富的了。

Really, I think Amazon is the only company, maybe Google, that has comparable experience, let alone more.

Speaker 31

而且我认为微软也是第一家在2020年为OpenAI提供基于GPU的AI超级计算机的公司。

And I think Microsoft was also the first AI supercomputer powered by GPUs back in 2020 for OpenAI.

Speaker 31

可能有人在此之前做过类似的事,只是为了故意跟我作对。

There's probably someone who did it before just to mess with me.

Speaker 31

不过,如果他们都在搞砸,那我想所有人都是如此。

Nevertheless, if they're failing, I think everyone is.

Speaker 31

最后,大家对AI算力需求无穷无尽的看法完全是扭曲的。因为实际上线的容量非常少,可能比大家以为的少了几个吉瓦,而且几乎全都流向了Anthropic和OpenAI。这制造了一种稀缺的假象,但实际上只是两家靠风投撑着的、不可持续的AI实验室在疯狂吞噬现有的所有资源。

And lastly, any beliefs that anyone has about the insatiable demand for AI compute are completely distorted because very little actual capacity is coming online, likely gigawatts less than people believe, and almost all of it is flowing directly to Anthropic and OpenAI, creating an illusion of scarcity when it's actually just two unsustainable venture backed AI labs sucking up whatever exists.

Speaker 31

这也意味着我们现在处于一个严重的过度建设局面。

And this also means we're in a terrible overbuild situation.

Speaker 31

目前,大家都在扩建AI数据中心,是因为微软、谷歌、亚马逊、甲骨文和CoreWeave这些公司有着巨大的收入积压订单。

Right now, everyone building more AI data center capacity is doing so because of the massive revenue backlogs across Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Oracle, and Core Wave.

Speaker 31

但大家忽略了一个事实:这些积压订单中有一半到75%直接来自Anthropic和OpenAI,而这两家公司根本付不起这笔钱。

Ignoring the fact that anywhere from half to 75% of those backlogs are directly from Anthropic and OpenAI, neither of whom can actually pay for them.

Speaker 31

任何超大规模云服务商如果签了合同要把这些算力给他们,那这些合同很可能可以取消。

And any hyperscalers signing contracts to give that capacity to them can probably cancel the agreements.

Speaker 31

从外面看,整个行业看起来欣欣向荣,对AI GPU和AI算力的需求都很大,大家都觉得这些GPU马上就能变成钱。

To the outside world, everything looks like a thriving industry with tons of demand both for AI GPUs, which they think are turning into money immediately, and for AI compute.

Speaker 31

微软还发布了一些明显有问题的声明,说每个季度都要增加一千兆瓦的算力,让人觉得它的收入增长是靠增加这些算力、花掉那些资本开支,再加上多样化的需求才实现的。

With Microsoft's clearly crooked statements around adding a gigawatt of capacity every single quarter, creating the illusion that its revenue growth is from adding all of that capacity and from spending all of those capital expenditures and from diverse demand on top of it.

Speaker 31

但实际上,这些增长主要不是来自OpenAI的算力支出,这部分占了微软2026财年AI收入的70%,占同一财年总收入的7%。

Rather than mostly from OpenAI's compute spend, made up 70% of Microsoft's AI revenues in fiscal year twenty twenty six and seven percent of its overall revenues in that same fiscal year.

Speaker 31

具体来说,大家以为每个季度都有大量计算机上线,而且这些计算机马上就能以高价租出去。

To be very specific about what I mean, people are assuming that lots of computers coming online every quarter and that all of that computers being immediately rented out for high rates.

Speaker 31

所以他们认为建更多AI数据中心是显而易见的选择,就像印钱一样,因为他们觉得有大量被压抑的需求等着被满足,而且满足这些需求只需要把数据中心上线就行,微软从外面看就是这样,证明了一个季度能增加一千兆瓦。

As a result, they think that building more AI data centers is an obvious choice and akin to printing money because they believe there's unbelievable amounts of pent up demand waiting to be met and that meeting that demand will be as simple as bringing a data center online, which Microsoft is from the outside, proving can be done a gigawatt a quarter.

Speaker 31

但实际上,上线的并不是AI数据中心的算力。

Except it's not AI data center capacity that's coming online.

Speaker 31

真正的情况是,用于AI服务的算力增加得非常少。

What's actually happening is very little capacity is coming along for AI services.

Speaker 31

而那一点点新增的算力,直接落入了两家公司手中,它们拥有近乎无限的资源,这些资源来自风险投资,有时甚至来自超大规模云服务商本身,这让它们能够签下合同,占用大量算力,并填满那些收入积压。

And what little does is going straight into the hands of two companies with near infinite resources provided by venture capital and in some cases, the hyperscalers themselves, which allows them to sign contracts to take up massive amounts of capacity and indeed fill those revenue backlogs.

Speaker 31

微软说它正在以每季度一千兆瓦的速度增加数据中心容量,但并不是AI专用的数据中心容量,而实际的AI算力,最多也就是每季度增加几十到几百兆瓦,而且这真的是最好的情况了。

Microsoft is saying that it's bringing data center capacity, not AI specific data center capacity online a gigawatt at a time, but it appears the actual AI capacity is at best coming on at a rate of maybe tens or hundreds of megawatts a quarter, and that really is, like, the best case.

Speaker 31

也许有其他人做得更快,但我确实找不到证据。

Perhaps there are others that are doing it faster, but I actually can't find evidence of them.

Speaker 31

说实话,这个故事在我脑子里盘旋了好几个星期,我一直犹豫要不要说出来,因为它的影响太大了。

I'll be honest that I have had this story in my head for weeks and was hesitant to jump the gun because of its ramifications.

Speaker 31

因为看起来所有人都把这个故事搞错了。

As it appears that everyone's got this story wrong.

Speaker 31

这比互联网泡沫还要严重得多。

This is magnitudes worse than the dotcom bubble.

Speaker 31

打个最明显的比方,这就好比光纤电缆根本没埋进地里,或者只接了一半,只不过AI基础设施的实际需求被OpenAI和Anthropic严重扭曲了,导致规划中的算力容量是实际需求的五到五十倍。

To make the obvious comparison, this is akin to the fiber optic cable not even being laid in the ground, or only being halfway connected, except the actual demand for AI infrastructure is so thoroughly distorted by OpenAI and Anthropic that there's anywhere from five to 50 times the amount of capacity in planning than there is demand for it.

Speaker 31

而且即便如此,那个需求本身也是虚高的。

And even then, that demand is inflated.

Speaker 31

更糟的是,这之后这些设施也不会被用上。

To make matters worse, it's not going anywhere after this.

Speaker 31

这些设施建成后,根本不可能按设计规模投入使用。

There is no situation where this is going to be used at the scale it's built.

Speaker 31

而且,两三年或五年后,完成一个AI数据中心的成本依然高昂,运行那些GPU的费用也不会降低。

It will also be just as expensive to finish an AI data center in two or three or five years, and just as expensive to run those GPUs.

Speaker 31

谁知道那里面会有多少代产品呢?

And who knows how many generations will be in that?

Speaker 31

但我不确定。

But I don't know.

Speaker 31

依我之见,以我专业的看法,我觉得我们撑不过Vera Rubin或Feynman这一代,也就是Vera Rubin的下一代。

In my my opinion, my esteemed opinion, I don't think we make it past Vera Rubin or Feynman, which is the generation after Vera Rubin.

Speaker 31

即便如此,我对Feynman是否真的能出货也存有疑问。

And even then, I have questions about whether Feynman actually ships.

Speaker 31

不过谁知道呢?

Who knows though?

Speaker 31

现在的情况真是疯狂。

Things are crazy.

Speaker 31

我还要明确一点,就像这周我和保罗·库德罗夫斯基讨论的那样,GPU市场在泡沫破裂后并没有出路,至少按现在这种建设规模来说是这样,因为提供推理服务的成本就像航空公司一样,固定成本很高。

I'll also be clear that as I discussed with Paul Kudrowski this week, that there is no post bubble economy for GPUs, at least at the scale they're being built, because the cost of serving inference is similar to an airline with high fixed costs.

Speaker 31

作为运营商,你必须在一段时间内购买容量,无论是几百张还是几千张GPU,不管你是否真的有那么多需求。

You as an operator must buy capacity, hundreds or thousands of GPUs over a certain period of time, whether or not you actually have the demand.

虽然有可能在客户数量恰到好处的情况下勉强赚点利润,但一旦需求超过你之前的预测,服务就会变得不稳定、不可靠,甚至会把客户拒之门外;而如果需求低于预测,你仅有的那点利润空间也会被消耗殆尽。

达里奥·阿莫迪本人今年二月在接受杜阿基什·帕特尔采访时也说过类似的话,他说在一个理论场景下,他可以在2027年底开始购买价值一万亿美元的算力,但如果他的收入不是一万亿美元,哪怕只有八千亿美元,用他的原话说,没有任何对冲手段能阻止他破产。

Dario Amodei himself said as much in an interview back in February with Duakish Patel, saying that in a theoretical scenario, he could buy $1,000,000,000,000 of compute that starts at the end of twenty twenty seven, but if his revenue wasn't a trillion dollars, if it was even $800,000,000,000, there was, and I quote, no hedge on earth that could stop him from going bankrupt.
