According to media reports, the project envisions up to 10 gigawatts of AI data centers housing 400,000 Nvidia chips, though its initial phase may be scaled back.
OpenAI has announced a strategic partnership with Oracle to develop 4.5 gigawatts of data center capacity in the U.S., forming part of the ambitious $100 billion “Stargate” initiative. This landmark project aims to establish one of the world’s largest AI infrastructure networks, supporting advanced artificial intelligence workloads at an unprecedented scale.
According to reports, the Stargate project envisions building up to 10 gigawatts of AI data centers capable of hosting 400,000 Nvidia GPUs, cementing OpenAI’s position at the forefront of generative AI innovation. These next-generation facilities will deliver the massive computational power required to train and deploy large language models (LLMs) and other AI-driven applications.
The initial phase of the Stargate initiative is expected to be more modest than originally planned, with OpenAI targeting the completion of a smaller data center in Ohio by the end of 2025. Additionally, the company is working on two more large-scale campuses in Texas, signaling its commitment to expanding AI infrastructure across the United States.
However, the project has faced challenges, including ongoing disagreements with SoftBank, which recently became OpenAI’s largest backer after leading a potential $40 billion funding round. Despite these hurdles, OpenAI and Oracle remain committed to advancing this transformative project, which will play a critical role in meeting the rapidly growing demand for AI computing power.
This partnership not only strengthens OpenAI’s AI development ecosystem but also positions Oracle as a key player in AI cloud infrastructure, offering cutting-edge solutions to enterprises worldwide.
