  • The new locations are Shackelford County, Texas; Milam County, Texas; Doña Ana County, New Mexico; Lordstown, Ohio; and an undisclosed Midwest site.
  • OpenAI says commitments now exceed $400 billion over the next three years with nearly 7 gigawatts of planned capacity on the path to 10 gigawatts.
  • The flagship Abilene, Texas campus has one building operating and a second nearing completion, with the eight-building site expected to draw about 900 megawatts.
  • SoftBank has begun construction in Ohio, while Oracle is partnering on builds in Texas, New Mexico and the Midwest.
