Stargate Community

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that AGI benefits all of humanity, and in order to do that, we are working to ensure our Stargate campuses benefit the local communities that make them possible. We believe that AI infrastructure⁠(opens in a new window) is vital for American competitiveness and economic opportunity, while boosting local economies by creating jobs and bringing in local revenue.

When we announced Stargate one year ago in January 2025, we set out to expand our U.S. AI infrastructure to 10GW by 2029—and just one year in, we are already well beyond halfway to that goal in planned capacity, with the first site in Abilene, Texas already training and serving frontier AI systems and multiple Stargate sites under development across Texas, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Michigan. We are committed to working with communities to ensure that our Stargate campuses are built and run in a way that strengthens communities and demonstrates that we’re being good neighbors.

AI is delivering tangible benefits already, from helping hundreds of millions of people with their health and wellness every week to unlocking new scientific advances. At the same time, we are making the AI models themselves much more capable and power efficient each year. As we’ve done so, demand has increased even more, since intelligence can more affordably be applied to more important problems, and there’s no limit to the problems that people want to solve. That’s why we and the industry see a critical need for such large-scale AI infrastructure.

Partnering with local communities starts with understanding local needs. Going forward, every Stargate site will have its own locally tailored Stargate Community plan, driven by community input and local concerns. They will all rest on this same core premise: Stargate is a partnership with communities, and we can only achieve our mission by being good neighbors.

We are already working with partners to deliver this on existing Stargate campuses. For example:
