flag OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank announced the expansion of their Stargate AI infrastructure project with five new data center sites across the U.S., adding to the existing facility in Abilene, Texas. flag The initiative, part of a $500 billion effort, aims to deliver up to 10 gigawatts of computing capacity, support AI advancements like ChatGPT, and create thousands of jobs. flag Sites are planned in Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, and the Midwest, with Oracle and SoftBank leading development. flag The Abilene complex, already housing hundreds of thousands of AI chips, uses a closed-loop cooling system to reduce water use but relies on gas and grid power, raising environmental concerns in drought-prone areas. flag The project reflects a major private-sector push to strengthen U.S. leadership in AI amid growing global competition.
