OpenAI Announces Stargate Data Center Expansion in Abu Dhabi

OpenAI is helping to develop a major data center in the United Arab Emirates, a big overseas expansion of its Stargate effort to build out AI infrastructure.

The ChatGPT maker is partnering on a 5-gigawatt data center cluster in Abu Dhabi with G42, an AI company backed by the country’s sovereign wealth fund. As part of the deal, G42 plans to make a reciprocal dollar-for-dollar investment in AI infrastructure in the US, OpenAI said. Bloomberg previously reported OpenAI’s plan to be an anchor tenant in the project.
