OpenAI and Oracle will develop another 4.5 gigawatts of data center capacity, expanding a tie-up that has promised hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure investment to keep the U.S. ahead in the global artificial intelligence race.

OpenAI has disclosed they signed a 30 billion dollar annual deal with Oracle for their data centre services last month, according to reports. Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, has also confirmed the contract in an X post, without divulging much details, on July 22. The same was also shared as a blog post on their website.
