OpenAI surpasses its 10GW U.S. AI infrastructure commitment by 2029, reaching more than 3GW capacity in the last 90 days alone

OpenAI announced in January 2025 a commitment to secure 10GW of AI infrastructure in the United States by 2029. The company has already exceeded that milestone, with more than 3GW added in the last 90 days alone.

GPT‑5.5, OpenAI's latest model, was trained at its Stargate site in Abilene, Texas, which operates on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and runs NVIDIA GB200 systems. The Abilene facility uses closed-loop cooling; after the one-time initial fill (equivalent to roughly two Olympic-sized swimming pools per building), annual water use at full buildout is expected to be comparable to a medium-sized office building.

OpenAI is partnering with cloud providers, chipmakers, energy providers, construction firms, and other ecosystem players to build the infrastructure, rather than attempting to do so alone. The company launched a community engagement program this week with a donation to the Port Washington-Saukville Education Foundation in Wisconsin alongside Vantage Data Centers and Oracle.
