Oracle plans to spend about $ 40 billion to buy advanced Nvidia chips to launch a huge datacenian in Texas. The installation, which is part of the Stargate ambitious project, will consume up to 1.2 GW of electricity after completion. The site will be recognized as Stargate’s $ 500 billion project index.
According to the Financial Times, the Stargit project, led by Openai and Softbank, is being implemeed in collaboration with companies such as Oracle, with the aim of transforming artificial ielligence infrastructure in the US and other couries.
Oracle makes one of the world’s largest artificial ielligence datasers in Texas
The Texas Dataceer will include 8 buildings on a 354 hectare land. Crusoe Energy Systems and Blue Owl Capital have also attracted $ 15 billion in combined capital such as loans and stocks to build the ceer. The JPMorgan Bank has played a key role in financing the project by lending $ 9 billion and $ 600 million.
After completing the building, planned for mid 2026, the collection will be one of the world’s largest dataceers. Openai has signed 15 years for the eire coract area and, according to iernal sources, the ceer will benefit from about 400,000 powerful NVIDIA GB200 chips.
The main purpose of this ceer is to train and impleme Openai artificial ielligence models; A key step in diversifying the company’s computational resources and reducing Microsoft’s dependence that has so far provided its infrastructure.
OpenAI and Microsoft’s exclusive agreeme ended earlier this year; Because OpenAI’s processing needs exceeded Microsoft’s capacity. Although negotiations on the duration of Microsoft’s permits for Openai models coinue, this reflects strategic rotation towards collaborating with cloud providers.
Global expansion of the Stargate project and competition in the AI field
Although the Stargate project is currely only investing directly in the Texas ceer, its global expansion programs are underway. Projects in Europe and Asia are in the process of investigation, and the high speed of investmes is a sign of fierce competition by companies and couries for the construction of the next -generation artificial ielligence infrastructure.
Stargit is a world -class ambitious and unprecedeed project launched with the support of Openai, Softbank, Oracle and MGX Abu Dhabi Investme Company. The project aims to invest up to $ 500 billion over the next four years to establish a national network of artificial ielligence ceers. Of this amou, the first $ 100 billion is allocated to the construction of 20 ceers, the first of which is Texas.
According to informed sources, Softbank and OpenAI each hold 40 % of the Stargate project shares. Oracle and MGX are also committed to investing $ 7 billion. The financial manageme of the project is in charge of the Softbank and is conducted by Openai.
Stargit project partners iend to extend their work beyond US borders. The next step is to set up an artificial ielligence ceer in Abu Dhabi; A 25 -km site, which will be built in collaboration with the UAE G42. The ceer may consume up to 5 GW of electricity; That is, four times the use of the Texas Ceer and ultimately host more than 2 million advanced Nvidia chips.
The project, which was announced at the same time as Donald Trump’s rece visit to the Persian Gulf, is part of Openai’s initiative to cooperate with couries; A plan designed to help governmes develop independe and indigenous artificial ielligence infrastructure.
