I did already mention both of those: re. bandwidth, I can't imagine LLMs use that much of it? It's just text - absolutely peanuts compared to something like Netflix. That said, of course, there are multimodal models. Construction difficulty is a factor, but at the same time, it's not like Iceland or Quebec/Canada are backwater regions, they're developed countries. Building a warehouse with some wires in it isn't the most complicated thing ever.

As for power, that's what I was referring to with geothermal and hydro - Iceland and Quebec both have famously cheap electricity. The former would need a large increase in capacity, for sure, but Quebec already pumps out a lot of power (and regularly sells it to the Northeastern US).

Not saying it wouldn't be difficult, by any means, but it does seem like all the right incentives are there.
