OpenAI is building five new Stargate data centers with Oracle and SoftBank

OpenAI is expanding its AI infrastructure by building five new Stargate data centers in collaboration with Oracle and SoftBank. Three of these centers are being developed with Oracle and are located in Shackelford County, Texas; Doña Ana County, New Mexico; and an undisclosed Midwest location. The remaining two centers are being developed with SoftBank, situated in Lordstown, Ohio, and Milam County, Texas. This expansion is part of OpenAI’s broader strategy to enhance its capacity for training and deploying more advanced AI models. Additionally, OpenAI recently announced a deal to acquire AI processors from a chipmaker, which will support further development of its AI data center network. The new Stargate data centers underscore OpenAI’s commitment to scaling its infrastructure to meet growing computational demands.
