OpenAI is taking its AI infrastructure strategy global, with a major investment in Europe’s north. The firm, known for developing ChatGPT, will become the primary capacity buyer in a new Stargate-branded data centre planned for northern Norway.

The data center will hold 100,100 NVIDIA GPUs and use entirely renewable energy, if all goes according to plan.

OpenAI has agreed to be an anchor customer for a new data center in Norway, the first European site for the artificial intelligence company’s Stargate infrastructure effort.
