OpenAI is actively seeking locations in 16 U.S. states to establish a network of data centers as part of its Stargate project, a partnership with Oracle and Softbank. This initiative involves a substantial investment ranging from $100 billion to $500 billion and is driven by support from former President Donald Trump. OpenAI's criteria for site selection include proximity to essential infrastructure and management of carbon emissions, although there is no clear commitment to renewable energy sources. The project's first data center is under construction in Abilene, Texas as the tech company navigates energy and environmental concerns.
The maker of ChatGPT put out a request for proposals for land, electricity, engineers and architects across 16 states to accelerate the Stargate project.
Trump touted Stargate, a joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle and Softbank, which is investing up to $500 billion in large-scale data centers for AI.
