Details
OpenAI announced Stargate UK, an AI infrastructure partnership with NVIDIA and Nscale to strengthen the UK's sovereign computing capabilities. This will enable OpenAI's cutting-edge AI models to run on local UK computing power, with plans to meet demand particularly in specialized fields where jurisdiction matters.
Key details of the project are as follows:
- GPU Scale: OpenAI plans to secure up to 8,000 GPUs in Q1 2026, with potential expansion to up to 31,000.
- Hardware: NVIDIA will provide its latest Grace Blackwell series, which incorporates designs from UK company Arm.
- Infrastructure Base: Nscale's capabilities will be expanded to be based across multiple regions, including Cobalt Park, an AI growth zone in Northeast England.
This collaboration provides a foundation for the safe use of OpenAI models in regulated industries such as public services, finance, research, and national security. In addition, OpenAI plans to bring OpenAI Academy, an AI literacy hub, to the UK to support the UK government's workforce development goals and help workers strengthen their AI capabilities.
