Power, Targets, and Trade‑Offs: AI Becomes Infrastructure

In this episode of AI in Flow, Claire and Peter track how AI is shifting from “best model wins” to an infrastructure race defined by energy, cost, and speed. They unpack a DOJ filing revealing Grok’s reported operational use in the Pentagon’s Project Maven, and a separate fight over natural-gas turbines powering xAI’s Mississippi data centre—raising hard questions about permitting, environmental justice, and national security. The conversation also covers Microsoft weighing DeepSeek V4 to cut Copilot unit costs, Wipro’s large-scale Claude services push, Jensen Huang’s warning that electricity is the real bottleneck, a modular secure colocation deal hinting at rising demand for classified compute, and Snap’s new AR glasses as a glimpse of AI’s next hardware frontier.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
