On September 25, 2025, OpenAI, in partnership with Oracle and SoftBank, announced plans to add five new data center sites in the United States as part of its "Stargate" project. The official statement said the added capacity brings the project's capacity to nearly 7 gigawatts planned, with planned investments in the hundreds of billions over the coming years. This expansion enables OpenAI to train and deploy larger models more quickly and reduce reliance on third-party providers, which will lower latency and increase the capacity of cloud services. Expected impact: Accelerate the development of advanced models and increase competition for computing infrastructure.
