Oracle plans to spend $40 billion on Nvidia GB200 AI accelerators for a data centre in Texas for the Stargate infrastructure project with OpenAI and SoftBank.
About 400,000 high-end chips will be purchased by Oracle for training AI systems, with the capacity leased to OpenAI.
The Abilene, Texas site is the first Stargate project and is expected to provide 1.2 gigawatts of computing power upon completion next year.
Stargate aims to reduce OpenAI's dependence on Microsoft for computing infrastructure, with investments from various companies totaling billions.
