Record Notes

OpenAI's Stargate campus in Abilene, Texas has been built at breakneck pace to meet surging compute demand. The initial phase, live in 2024, houses around 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs drawing roughly 200 megawatts, with construction underway on six additional buildings that will push the complex toward 1.2 gigawatts of load by late 2025. Fed primarily from the ERCOT grid, the site functions as a single AI supercomputer and positions OpenAI for 1,000 megawatt-scale training runs for its next-generation models.
