Massive AI Stargate Project under Trump admin reveals next steps
2025-02-14
[FoxNews] OpenAI says each 1GW supercomputer campus in the US could create thousands of jobs

Stargate, the massive artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure project recently unveiled by President Donald Trump, has begun production in Texas — with data center construction in other states expected to be announced in the coming months.

OpenAI, Softbank, Oracle and other partners' total investment of $500 million in the project will produce a large-scale network of campuses. Each campus will be designed in the roughly 1 gigawatt (GW) or greater range, a measurement of electricity that can power a minimum of 750,000 homes.

During a recent press briefing on The Stargate Project attended by Fox News Digital, OpenAI announced that construction on the first site is underway in Abilene, Texas. Significant progress has been made in identifying additional locations. Stargate is currently weighing 16 additional states as options for future sites.

#3  It's an interesting Flex by Elon. As I understand it, he's not poaching OpenAI, but is after the entity that is being created, that will be used as the vehicle to make OpenAI a for-profit company. And if I follow, this entity is mostly outside of Atlman's purview and control.
