OpenAI says it will lease a large new AI data centre in the United States, backed by Nvidia, according to multiple reports. The facility is described as being designed to run on Nvidia chips. One outlet says the project could reach very large capacity, potentially scaling to up to 8 gigawatts.
The outlets also report on the project’s expected economic impact. The Hindu says OpenAI estimates the construction will create around 35,000 temporary jobs over six years, along with about 2,500 long-term operating positions. While the sources agree on the broad plan—leasing a major facility, using Nvidia chips, and projecting job creation—details such as the projected maximum power capacity and the emphasis on employment are presented differently by each outlet, reflecting their respective focus.
Overall, the reporting frames the initiative as part of OpenAI’s effort to expand computing capacity for AI workloads, using Nvidia hardware, though neither source provides full specifications such as exact location, timeline milestones, or final capacity in the excerpts provided.
