aiqbench analysis

The program addresses a growing constraint on AI scaling: large compute campuses draw enough power to affect grid stability and retail electricity prices. Its practical significance depends on the terms utilities and developers actually agree to, such as cost-sharing, load flexibility, and interconnection commitments, which the announcement only sketches. Readers tracking AI infrastructure should watch whether these commitments become enforceable and whether they set precedents for how future data centres are permitted and paid for.
