OpenAI announced a 4.5 gigawatt (GW) expansion in partnership with Oracle to power future AI development. The deal, part of OpenAI’s long-term vision to deploy 10 gigawatts of compute capacity across the US, will add to its existing Stargate I facility in Abilene, Texas, and push the project beyond its original commitment made at the White House in January, the firm said on Tuesday. “This is a gigantic infrastructure project,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X, sharing images of the Abilene site. In an earlier post, he confirmed that over one million GPUs will be online by year-end, and joked, “Now they better get to work figuring out how to 100x that.” The additional Oracle deal will bring Stargate’s total development pipeline to over 5 GW, enough to power over two million AI chips. “We are planning to significantly expand the ambitions of Stargate past the $500 billion commitment we announced in January,” Altman added.

XAI’s Colossus 2 supercomputer, set to go live soon, will use 550,000 GB200 chips, roughly equivalent to 5.5 million H100s. Musk’s plan with xAI, if realized, would nearly 10x that. “Elon is saying they will get to equivalent of 50…
