OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle Expand Stargate AI Network with 5 New Data Centers
OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank are accelerating their Stargate AI infrastructure initiative with five new U.S. data centers, targeting nearly 7 gigawatts of capacity. The $400 billion expansion underscores a strategic push to solidify America's position as a global AI leader.
New sites in Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, and an undisclosed Midwest location will create over 25,000 jobs. The project, launched earlier this year, evaluated 300 proposals across 30 states before finalizing these energy-intensive installations.
