OpenAI teams are built with Oracle and Softbank to build 5 new Stargate data centers
Openai is planning The company announced on Tuesday to build five new data centers in the United States as part of the Stargate initiative. Developed in collaboration with Oracle and Softbank, these sites bring the current Stargate planned capacity to nearly 7 GW-almost as much as seven large-scale nuclear reactors.
“Artificial intelligence is different from the Internet in many ways, but one of them is exactly its infrastructure,” said Sam Altman, CEO of Openai during a press justification session in Abilene, Texas. He pointed out that the United States “cannot be left behind” and “Innovative Spirit” provides a model for how “larger, faster, cheaper, better”.
Three new sites, in Shakford, Texas. Doña ana county, New Mexico; And a place is still developing in the western western cooperation with Oracle. The move was announced in July to develop up to 4.5 GW of US data center capacity at the top of what the two companies create at Abilene’s first Stargate facility.
Openai claims that new data centers, along with planned 600 MW of Abilene, create more than 25,000 jobs on -site, although the number of workers needed to build data centers typically provides the amount needed to retain them after dwarf.
The remaining two sites are being collected by Openai and SB Energy, a subsidiary of Softbank that develop solar and battery projects. They are located in Lordeston, Ohio and Ilam County, Texas.
Stargate is one of the several major US technology infrastructure projects announced since Donald Trump’s presidency at the beginning of the year. OPA said in January that the $ 500 billion commitment between the maker of Chatgp, Softbank, Oracle and MGX “guarantees American leadership in AI” and “creates hundreds of thousands of American jobs”.
Trump supported Mammoth’s initiative just two days after returning to the White House, promising to accelerate US progress in artificial intelligence and help the United States compete with China and other nations. In July, Trump announced an AI action plan that calls for the development of rapid infrastructure and red stripes because the United States is trying to defeat other countries in an attempt to develop AI AI. “We believe we are in an artificial intelligence race,” said the White House. “We want the United States to win in that race.”
Openai initially framing Stargate as “a new company” chaired by the CEO of Softbank Masayoshi Son. However, now, executives close to the project say that this is an umbrella brand used to refer to all Openai data center projects – except for those developed in collaboration with Microsoft.
According to executives close to the project, the flagship site in Abilene is primarily owned by Oracle, which Openai acts as the main tenant. Sources close to the project say construction, run by the Crusoe Data Center Startup, is on the way to complete. The sources add: It is currently running in Oracle Cloud infrastructure and supports Openai training and inference loads.
