Today in Compute College
Today's lesson
Learn how to compare AI model benchmark performance with token pricing, latency, throughput, and cost per useful result. Why it matters today: Today's lesson connects the Model Benchmarks & AI Compute Economics track to the compute market readers are watching.
Term of the Day
Curtailable load is electricity demand that can be reduced or disconnected under agreed conditions. A data center accepting those terms may have different access options from one requiring uninterrupted grid service. A facility may agree to reduce its grid draw during system stress, then use backup power or pause suitable work.

These are the highest-impact source-backed items behind this morning’s brief.
Nov 6, 2026
The source for “Sempra expects 20% increase to Oncor’s capex plan, driven by load growth” does not yet establish a supported change in compute supply, demand, price, availability, power delivery, financing, or deployment timing.
Nov 5, 2026
The project described in “Entergy sees progress on Arkansas data center deal, strong Q3 sales” adds prospective compute capacity, but permitting, power procurement, construction, and deployment timing prevent it from increasing immediately available GPU supply.
Nov 6, 2026
The project described in “Google announces $17bn data center campus in Cheyenne, Wyoming” adds prospective compute capacity, but permitting, power procurement, construction, and deployment timing prevent it from increasing immediately available GPU supply.
Nov 9, 2026
The project described in “Lambda to build new data center in Lowndes County, Alabama, investing more than $33 billion in state” adds prospective compute capacity, but permitting, power procurement, construction, and deployment timing prevent it from increasing immediately available GPU supply.
Nov 6, 2026
The project described in “SpaceXAI plans data center in Arizona, Musk's firm claims it will have 6GW capacity” adds prospective compute capacity, but permitting, power procurement, construction, and deployment timing prevent it from increasing immediately available GPU supply.
