The ambitious Stargate AI infrastructure project has stalled due to disagreements between OpenAI and SoftBank. Initially announced with a $500 billion investment plan, the venture has scaled back to developing a small Ohio data center by 2025.
OpenAI has independently pursued significant data center deals, signing agreements with Oracle for 9GW of capacity and CoreWeave for additional GPU resources. Despite initially committing to a joint 10GW infrastructure development, the companies have yet to demonstrate substantial collaboration.
OpenAI has effectively secured approximately $100 billion in data center investments without SoftBank's direct involvement, while SoftBank maintains the Stargate trademark. The project's future remains uncertain as the primary partners struggle to align their strategic objectives.
