Huge Texas Data Center Moves Ahead as Trump-Backed Stargate AI Project Faces Questions
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – The Stargate expansion includes over 2 million AI chips and is expected to create more than 100,000 jobs in construction and operations, boosting US AI infrastructure capacity beyond 5 gigawatts.
- On July 22, 2025, OpenAI partnered with Oracle to add capacity, supporting over 2 million AI chips as part of a 4.5 gigawatt expansion.
- The expansion builds on a US$500 billion, 10 GW pledge announced in January by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank Group, driven by generative AI's demand for massive compute capacity, OpenAI said.
- Last month, Oracle delivered Nvidia’s GB200 racks, and portions of the Stargate I facility in Abilene, Texas, have been operational for weeks, the company said.
- OpenAI said the expansion will generate over 100,000 jobs across construction and operations in the US, while Chris Lehane noted `Abilene was that beta test to prove out that you could build these at scale and at speed`.
- Potential locations span Texas to Wyoming, and The Wall Street Journal reported a smaller Ohio centre may open by end-2025.
