Oracle plans to spend approximately $40 billion on high-performance Nvidia chips to support OpenAI's new data center in Abilene, Texas. This initiative is part of the U.S. Stargate Project, aimed at enhancing the country's position in the competitive AI industry. The purchase will involve around 400,000 of Nvidia's GB200 chips, which Oracle will lease to OpenAI.
OpenAI has entered into a monumental agreement with Oracle, committing to purchase $300 billion in computing power over the next five years. This deal is one of the largest cloud contracts in history, reflecting a significant increase in spending on AI infrastructure despite concerns about a potential market bubble.
