OpenAI adjusts its Stargate strategy, abandoning the construction of its own data centers and reducing its computing power budget to $600 billion.

According to 1M AI News, OpenAI has made significant adjustments to its Stargate computing infrastructure project, abandoning its self-built data center and instead adopting third-party cloud services such as AWS and Google Cloud to provide computing power. The company has lowered its total computing power expenditure by 2030 from the previous $1.4 trillion to approximately $600 billion. This adjustment is primarily due to financing pressures. Since its inception in 2025, the Stargate project has progressed slowly and failed to secure large-scale construction financing. OpenAI has withdrawn from expansion negotiations in Texas and reached a new cooperation agreement with SoftBank, whereby SoftBank will be responsible for energy and infrastructure development, while OpenAI will acquire computing power resources through long-term leases. Furthermore, OpenAI is shifting its computing power deployment to the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, aiming to achieve its first gigawatt-level computing power by the second half of 2026.
