In the US, 5 new AI data centers / OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank's plans for the 500 billion USD project, Stargate
OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank announced plans for five new artificial intelligence data centers in the United States to build their ambitious Stargate project. US President Donald Trump in January hosted top tech executives to launch Stargate, a private sector initiative that plans to spend up to $500 billion building artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Artificial intelligence is a priority for Trump and tech companies that are investing billions in building the computers needed to power the technology.
ChatGPT maker OpenAI said it will open three new data centers with Oracle. The new locations, an expansion of the Oracle-OpenAI site in Abilene, Texas, and ongoing projects with CoreWeave will bring Stargate's total data center capacity to nearly 7 gigawatts and more than $400 billion in investment over the next three years, OpenAI said.
The $500 billion project was intended to generate 10 gigawatts in total data center capacity.
The announcement of these plans, which are expected to create 25,000 jobs in the US, comes after Nvidia announced that it would invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI and supply data center chips.
OpenAI and partners plan to use debt financing to lease chips for the Stargate project. OpenAI and its backer, Microsoft, are among the tech giants pouring billions into data centers to power AI-generating services such as ChatGPT and Copilot.
The role of AI in sensitive sectors like defense and China's push to catch up have made the new technology a top priority for Trump.
