Investing.com -- OpenAI and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) plan to fill a new data center in Texas with billions of dollars worth of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s AI superchips as part of the "Stargate" infrastructure project, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing unnamed sources.

The data center, located in Abilene, Texas, is expected to house 64,000 of Nvidia’s GB200 superchips by the end of 2026, the source told Bloomberg.

The rollout will occur in phases, with an initial 16,000 chips expected to be in place by this summer, the person said.

An OpenAI spokesperson, meanwhile, told Bloomberg that the startup is working with Oracle on the design and development of the Abilene data center, and that Oracle is in charge of obtaining and operating the supercomputer there. 

Oracle didn’t respond to a Bloomberg’s request for comment, Bloomberg reported. Nvidia declined to comment.

The news comes more than a month after OpenAI, SoftBank (TYO:9984) Group Corp., and Oracle unveiled the Stargate project at a White House event in January.
