OpenAI is actively negotiating to lease a proposed 10-gigawatt data center campus located on federal land in Ohio. The potential deal includes financial backing from Nvidia, according to reports from The Information.
The discussions highlight the intensifying competition for energy-intensive artificial intelligence infrastructure. While The Information cited sources with direct knowledge of the talks, Reuters was unable to independently verify the specifics of the negotiations as of Tuesday.
This move underscores OpenAI's strategic push to secure massive computational capacity, leveraging partnerships with key semiconductor leaders like Nvidia to fuel its next generation of models.
