Despite its massive scale, Stargate intends to employ “at least” 57 full-time employees earning an average wage of just $57,600 annually, according to documents seen by Bloomberg regarding the ambitious data center project.

About 875 acres in Abilene, or roughly the size of New York’s Central Park, have been set aside to construct data centers, according to city documents seen

The project backed by Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank was announced by President Donald Trump Jan. 21, but it's not without its detractors.

The rise of artificial intelligence, the digitization of the economy and everyday life’s growing computing needs have turbocharged the expansion of data centers, driving up a surge in electricity demand in Texas and across the country.

Stargate — the joint venture between OpenAI, Softbank and Oracle — is starting its AI infrastructure plans with 10 data centers in Texas.

The effort was described as a $500 billion investment in artificial intelligence. Read how a small Texas city with a population of about 130,000 fits into the plans.

We may now know roughly how much money SoftBank and OpenAI are contributing toward Stargate, OpenAI's massive data center project.

A plan to build a system of data centers for artificial intelligence has been revealed in a White House press conference, with Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman, and Larry Ellison joining Donald Trump to announce The Stargate Project.

OpenAI has announced that it's teaming up with Softbank and Oracle on $100 billion data center project in the U.S.

Such announcements aren’t without political risks, as OpenAI learned when Trump adviser Elon Musk criticized the deal on the social network he owns.

Joint venture Stargate will be building out data centers and beefing up electricity generation to support the fast-evolving artificial intelligence scene.

OpenAI is focusing on AI infrastructure with Stargate as rivals like China's DeepSeek close the gap on its AI models.
