AI BriefingOpenAI Signs 4.5 GW Partnership with Oracle to Accelerate Stargate Project
Key point
OpenAI has signed a partnership with Oracle to expand Stargate data center capacity by 4.5 GW.
Details
OpenAI and Oracle have agreed to secure an additional 4.5 GW of Stargate data center capacity in the US. This investment is expected to strengthen US AI leadership and create new jobs.
Including the Stargate I site in Abilene, Texas, this partnership will push the Stargate AI data center capacity under development beyond 5 GW. The facility is expected to house more than 2 million chips.
This marks a significant step toward fulfilling OpenAI's commitment to invest $500 billion in 10 GW of AI infrastructure in the US over the next four years. Strong collaboration with Oracle and SoftBank is expected to exceed the initial plans.
Current major infrastructure status is as follows:
- Stargate I: Construction is underway, with some facilities already operational. It recently introduced Nvidia GB200 racks and has begun running early training and inference workloads for next-generation frontier research.
- SoftBank: Collaborating to meet compute demand through data center design reimagination and site evaluation.
- Other partnerships: Working with CoreWeave, while Microsoft continues to provide OpenAI's cloud services, including for Stargate.
