OPENAI, Oracle and SoftBank on Tuesday announced five new US artificial intelligence (AI) data centre sites under their joint AI infrastructure platform, Stargate.
The combined capacity of these five new sites — together with the flagship facility in Abilene, Texas, and ongoing projects with Corewave — will bring Stargate’s planned capacity to nearly seven gigawatts and push total investment to over US$400 billion within the next three years, according to the announcement.
In July, OpenAI and Oracle reached an agreement to develop three of the new sites, located in Texas, New Mexico, and the Midwest. The other two sites will be developed through a partnership between SoftBank and OpenAI, with locations in Ohio and Texas.
The five new projects were selected through a rigorous nationwide process launched in January. The companies said they reviewed more than 300 proposals from over 30 states, adding that Tuesday’s announcement represents only the first set of sites, with additional US locations to follow.
