OpenAI announced plans to build a one-gigawatt artificial intelligence data center in the United Arab Emirates.
The facility will house about 100,000 graphics processing units and is part of OpenAI's program to establish AI infrastructure for countries.
OpenAI is partnering with Nvidia, Oracle Corp., Cisco Systems Inc., SoftBank Group Corp., and Emirati AI company G42 for the project.
The data center, located in Abu Dhabi, will have an initial capacity of 200 megawatts in 2026 and will utilize Nvidia's advanced GB300 appliances for AI systems.
