OpenAI and SoftBank's Stargate project, initially a $500 billion plan for massive AI data centers across the US, has scaled back its immediate ambitions due to partnership tensions. The first facility in Abilene, Texas spans 900 acres with Oracle supplying infrastructure and Crusoe securing $11.6 billion in funding. Instead of immediately building multiple centers, they now aim to have one operational by late 2025. Meanwhile, OpenAI has formed separate agreements with Oracle and CoreWeave for computing resources, while global expansion continues with plans for a UAE facility in 2026. Despite setbacks, the initiative remains significant for the future of AI infrastructure.
