# OpenAI and Oracle Partner on Massive 4.5 GW Data Center Expansion
OpenAI announced a major partnership with Oracle to build 4.5 gigawatts of additional data center capacity for its Stargate AI infrastructure platform in the United States.
The collaboration represents one of the largest AI infrastructure investments to date. To put the scale in perspective, 4.5 gigawatts could power millions of homes and will support the massive computational needs required to train and run advanced AI models.
According to OpenAI's announcement, the expansion aims to strengthen American AI leadership while creating new jobs and supporting domestic manufacturing. The partnership leverages Oracle's expertise in cloud infrastructure and data center operations.
Stargate is OpenAI's long-term infrastructure initiative designed to build the computing power necessary to develop increasingly sophisticated AI systems. The platform is central to OpenAI's vision of making AI benefits accessible to everyone.
