Sept. 24 (UPI) — OpenAI’s new Stargate data center site in Abilene, Texas, is up and running, the company announced.
The site has one data center in operation, which uses Oracle Cloud infrastructure and Nvidia chips. It’s being leased by Oracle. It’s the first on site in Abilene, with another soon to power up.
The company also announced five new U.S. AI data center cites under Stargate, the company’s AI infrastructure platform. Some of the new sites are in Shackelford County, Texas; Doña Ana County, New Mexico; and an unnamed site in the Midwest. There will be an additional potential expansion near the flagship site in Abilene, a press release said.
The sites are expected to create more than 25,000 onsite jobs, and “tens of thousands of additional jobs across the U.S.”

The combined capacity from these five new sites — along with the flagship site in Abilene and ongoing projects with CoreWeave — brings Stargate to nearly 7 gigawatts of planned capacity and over $400 billion in investment over the next three years. This puts OpenAI on a path to securing the full $500 billion, 10-gigawatt commitment it announced in January by the end of 2025, ahead of schedule, the company said.
There is enormous demand for AI infrastructure around the world. More than $2 trillion in AI infrastructure is planned globally, according to an HSBC estimate this week.
On Tuesday, Nvidia said it would invest as much as $100 billion as part of a strategic partnership that will see the chipmaker deploy huge processing firepower to help train and run OpenAI’s new generation of AI models.
Under the tie-up, the investment will enable OpenAI to progressively build and roll out at least 10 gigawatts of AI data centers powered by Nvidia systems, equivalent to millions of Graphics Processing Units for the next generation AI infrastructure, the firm said in a news release.
“AI can only fulfill its promise if we build the compute to power it,” said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. “That compute is the key to ensuring everyone can benefit from AI and to unlocking future breakthroughs. We’re already making historic progress toward that goal through Stargate and moving quickly not just to meet its initial commitment, but to lay the foundation for what comes next.”
OpenAI finance chief Sarah Friar told CNBC that the scale of the project was necessary to supply the amount of compute required to operate OpenAI’s models.
“People are starting to recognize just the sheer scale that will be required,” Friar said. “We’re just getting going here in Abilene, Texas, but you’ll see this all around the United States and beyond. … What we see today is a massive compute crunch. There’s not enough compute to do all the things that AI can do.”
