OpenAI and Oracle Corp. plan to begin filling a massive new data center in Texas with tens of thousands of powerful AI chips from Nvidia Corp. in the coming months, part of a push to get the first facility for their $100 billion Stargate infrastructure venture up and running.

Cryptomine and HPC data center firm Cipher Mining has acquired a 250-acre site in Texas, and expanded the size of the site SoftBank has shown interest in acquiring.

Google also announced plans last year to invest $1 billion in Texas infrastructure.

OpenAI is reportedly planning to shift its compute needs away from Microsoft and instead rely on capacity provided by its Stargate partner SoftBank.
