The announcement, made at a White House gathering, revealed Stargate’s ambition to lead the development of state-of-the-art data centers and virtual AI ecosystems. Plans are already in motion for a flagship data center to be built in Texas.
President Donald Trump referred to Stargate as the largest initiative for AI infrastructure development to date. The company will begin with $100 billion in initial capital, with plans to secure $500 billion in total funding over the next several years, creating an estimated 100,000 jobs in the process.
I think this will be the most important project of this era. We wouldn’t be able to do this without you, Mr. President,
remarked Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO.
Infrastructure gaps—spanning data centers, cooling systems, and dependable power grids—have long hindered AI development. The collaboration of industry leaders, such as Oracle and SoftBank, might be the turning point. While Oracle is a major U.S. data center operator, its ability to expand depends on the financial backing that SoftBank can provide.
Sam Altman has been outspoken about the need to develop chip production capabilities and build cutting-edge data centers. He has also urged the U.S. government to invest in these efforts, framing them as essential to national security and maintaining AI leadership in the global race, particularly against China.
