Oklo is a bet that power, not silicon, becomes the binding constraint on AI. It is developing the Aurora — a compact advanced fission reactor, a small always-on "powerhouse" designed to sit behind the meter and feed data centres carbon-free electricity around the clock. In the chain it is a would-be supplier of the power-delivery layer beneath the AI factory, aimed squarely at hyperscaler demand for firm, dispatchable capacity that the grid cannot easily add.

Its structural hook is entirely forward-looking: it has signed non-binding power agreements with the likes of Switch, Meta and Equinix, but it is pre-revenue and has no reactor built or operating. What the model is pricing is optionality on the tightest emerging link — if reliable behind-the-meter nuclear arrives, whoever delivers cheap, always-on power captures the scarcest input in the build-out. The honest counterweight is execution and regulatory risk: the thesis is real, the reactors are not yet, and the agreements can still lapse.
