March 7 (Bloomberg) -- OpenAI and Oracle have announced that they will proceed with the construction of a large-scale, Abilene, Texas, facility, according to Bloomberg.Data Center<\/a>and progressively installing tens of thousands in the coming monthsNvidia<\/a>High Performance AI chip<\/a>in order to promote the two sides in the \"Stargate (US TV and film series)<\/a>\"(Stargate) the first facility in the infrastructure program to become operational.

The massive chip purchase underscores the potential scale of the Stargate program. In January, OpenAI, SoftBank Group, and Oracle announced an infrastructure investment program called Stargate at a White House event, in which the three companies would initially commit $100 billion to Stargate. billion dollars.and to $500 billion over the next four years.<\/strong>The project will start with a data center in Texas, USA.<\/p>\n

An OpenAI spokesperson said.The company is working with Oracle to design and deliver the Abilene data center<\/strong>, Oracle is responsible for procuring and operating the supercomputers within the data center. Oracle has not yet responded to requests for comment, and NVIDIA declined to comment on the matter.<\/p>\n

\"The Stargate project is part of the ongoing race by tech giants to expand the capacity of NVIDIA's latest chips, which are used to train and deploy generative AI models. The announcement comes after Elon Musk's xAI struck a $5 billion deal with Dell Technologies to build supercomputer AI servers in Memphis, Meta Platform announced plans to realize the equivalent of 600,000 Nvidia H100 chips by the end of 2024, and AI-focused cloud provider CoreWeave said in a prospectus filed earlier this month that it has already built the equivalent of 600,000 Nvidia H100 chips. CoreWeave, an AI-focused cloud provider, said in a prospectus filed earlier this month that it has deployed more than 250,000 NVIDIA graphics processing units in 32 data centers.<\/p>\n

The cost of purchasing the first GB200 chips needed for the Abilene data center alone will be in the billions of dollars<\/strong>The price of the GB200 chip has not yet been disclosed by NVIDIA. While NVIDIA has yet to disclose the exact price of the GB200 chip, company CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said last year that its slightly weaker B200 chip would cost between $30,000 and $40,000 (note: currently around Rs. 217,000 to Rs. 290,000) per unit.<\/p>\n

In addition to Texas, OpenAI and SoftBank staff have looked at Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Oregon as potential sites for a future Stargate data center campus. In addition, Oracle already has some cloud services facilities in Salt Lake City, which is also on the short list.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
