OpenAI has struck a deal with Oracle to add an astounding 4.5 gigawatts of US data center capacity to power the massive workload required by its large language models. The companies haven't specified where these new centers will be built, but Bloomberg is reporting that Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin and Wyoming are all under consideration.

OpenAI announced Tuesday that it will develop 4.5 gigawatts of data center capacity in partnership with Oracle ORCL — confirming an expanded partnership between the two companies within the buzzy Stargate infrastructure initiative. Oracle stock was slightly lower Tuesday.
