Openai announced a 4.5 Gawinatt expansion in collaboration with Oracle to Power Future AI development.
The deal, part of Openai’s long-term perspective to deploy 10 gigawatts of compute capacity across the US, will add to the existing Stargate I facility in Abilene, Texas, and push the project beyond its original promise made in the White House in January, the firm Says on Tuesday.
“This is a massive infrastructure project,” Openai CEO CEO posted Sam Altman with X, who shares Abilene site images. In an earlier post, he confirmed With over 1 million GPUs will be online by the end of the year, and jokes, “Now they are better off working to think about how 100x it is.”
The additional oracle deal will bring the total stargate development pipeline to more than 5 GW, enough to power more than 2 million AI chips. “We are planning to significantly expand the ambitions of the Stargate past the $ 500 billion promise we announced in January,” Altman added.

Musk unveils bold plan for xai
Following Openai’s announcement, Elon Musk also shared a resolved plan for his AI firm Xai. “@XAI’s goal is 50 million in H100 units equivalent-Ai compute (but better power-efficiency) online for 5 years,” the billionaire write In a Tuesday post on X.
According to Estimates With X user Teslaprice, it represents 500 times the compute power of what is considered the strongest AI supercomputer in the world a year ago.
The Colosus 2 Supercomputer of Xai, which is set to survive soon, will use 550,000 GB200 chips, about 5.5 million H100s. Musk’s plan with Xai, if realized, was about 10x.
“Elon says they will get equivalent to 50 million H100 in 5 years. So it will be 500x from the state of the art cluster 12 months ago,” the user estimated.

The $ 500B Stargate AI Project is faced with challenges
Earlier this year, US president Donald Trump Stargate launches announcedA $ 500 billion AI infrastructure initiative led by the private sector. The project is supported by Openai, Softbank and Oracle, which aims to develop AI data centers across the US and create more than 100,000 jobs.
However, According to In a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, the initiative faced major delays and internal disagreements between major partners Softbank and Openai.
Despite the initial promises to deploy $ 100 billion immediately, the project has scaled close goals of developing a single data center by the end of the year, according to the report.
