OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank Expand Stargate AI Data Centers
OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank are opening five new data centers for the government-backed Stargate AI project, bringing nearly 7 gigawatts of capacity and over
$400 billion in planned investment over the next three years. Three sites built by OpenAI and Oracle—including Abilene, Texas—will provide over 5.5 gigawatts of capacity and create more than 25,000 jobs.
Stargate aims to build 10 gigawatts of AI operations in the U.S. over four years. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman emphasized the critical role of infrastructure for powering advanced AI workloads, while Oracle’s co-CEO Clay Magouyrk highlighted the focus on delivering sufficient compute capacity. The Abilene site is expected to be fully operational by 2026, with potential for further expansion.
