The current compute spend ($1 trillion annually by 2030) will still be insufficient because use cases are bubbling up faster than compute can expand—compute is cheap relative to the value created (protein folding at pennies per structure), so demand will always exceed supply.

“It won't it still won't be enough because the use cases are bubbling up so quickly and they're you know they they get more intelligent and more useful as you iterate more which means you need more more compute. The compute right now is very very cheap compared to the the value the impact you know like you know protein folding it's just you know pennies to to solve 200 million uh proteins.”
