Nuclear startup Oklo has signed a massive deal with data center operator Switch, but caveats abound. The new agreement would see Oklo building enough small modular reactors (SMR) by 2044 to generate 12 gigawatts of electricity for Switch’s data centers, which today serve a wide range of companies, including Google, Nvidia, Tesla, Paypal, JP Morgan Chase, and others.

The swap illustrates a broader trend among legacy automakers grappling with slower-than-expected demand for…
