Venture Global Signs Power Deals for Up to 10 GW of Compute Capacity
Venture Global announced in a press release power and grid agreements with GE Vernova and Baker Hughes for up to 16 new 720 MW power island units and related transformer equipment. The company, which exports liquefied natural gas from terminals in Louisiana, said the deals provide a path to as much as 10 GW of compute capacity at sites it owns or controls.
Venture Global already has six power islands ordered, under construction or operating across its liquefied natural gas facilities, representing about 4.5 GW of gas fired generation. The additional on site infrastructure would operate behind the meter, without relying on public electric grids or water utilities, and could supply adjacent data centers.
The framework allows Venture Global to reserve manufacturing capacity through later agreements with established pricing and delivery terms. The company expects to place its first power island purchase order by the end of 2026 and could develop up to 10 GW of compute capacity by the end of 2034, subject to customer commitments and other commercial conditions.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?
Tensordyne
This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
