OpenAI talks Oracle into another 2M GPUs worth of datacenter
Briefly

OpenAI has secured an additional 4.5 gigawatts of datacenter capacity from Oracle for its Stargate initiative, totaling five gigawatts for over two million GPUs. This plan aligns with a larger commitment to invest $500 billion in AI infrastructure in the U.S. over the next four years. However, funding sources are unclear, with OpenAI projected to generate only $12.7 billion in revenues this year against potential costs exceeding $100 billion for GPUs alone, not including power plant expenses. The project is likely to develop in phases based on demand and power availability.
OpenAI's Stargate initiative now includes Oracle providing at least five gigawatts of datacenter capacity, sufficient for over two million GPUs, advancing AI infrastructure investment.
OpenAI plans to exceed its commitment of investing $500 billion into AI infrastructure in the U.S. over the next four years, fueled by partnerships.
Actual funding and implementation details for OpenAI's Stargate initiative remain unclear, with significant costs involved in GPU acquisition and power plants.
OpenAI projects $12.7 billion in revenues this year, significantly less than estimated costs for the GPUs, raising questions about financial viability.
