Oracle to Supply OpenAI With 2 Million AI Chips for Data Centers

OpenAI and Oracle Corp. announced they will develop 4.5 gigawatts of additional US data center capacity in an expanded partnership, furthering a massive plan to power artificial intelligence workloads.

OpenAI has yet to name the data center sites it will codevelop with Oracle, but states including Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin and Wyoming are under consideration. Together with its facility being built in Abilene, Texas, the company said it will have more than 5 gigawatts total in capacity, running on more than 2 million chips for AI work. Bloomberg earlier this month reported OpenAI’s plans to rent the additional data center capacity from Oracle.
