The multi-billion-dollar Stargate initiative, spearheaded by OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, aims to propel the United States into the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation. Initially setting out to transform the digital landscape, the project is now focused on building a data center in Ohio by year-end, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Disagreements between SoftBank and OpenAI over partnership terms, particularly regarding site locations, have surfaced, according to insiders. Despite these challenges, the firms are progressing with site evaluations and are advancing several projects across various states, as per their joint statement to Reuters.

When launched, Stargate's stakeholders committed an immediate $100 billion investment. Oracle's Larry Ellison confirmed the construction of the first data center in Texas. Concurrently, Trump is driving AI proficiency against China and prioritizing national energy initiatives to increase power capacity by addressing regulatory barriers.
