OpenAI spearheads one of Europe’s biggest data centers with 100,000 Nvidia chips

cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2025-12-22 18:46:24

OpenAI on Thursday said it is launching a Stargate-branded AI data center in Norway, marking its first foray into Europe with such a project. British firm Nscale will design and build the site as part of a 50-50 joint venture with Norwegian energy infrastructure firm Aker. OpenAI will be a so-called "off-taker" in the project, meaning it will effectively buy capacity from the data center. "Part of the purpose of this project is to partner with OpenAI and leverage European sovereign compute to

July 2020 Like many people, I have most of my best ideas in the shower. This is sometimes annoying: I could use more than one shower’s worth of good ideas a day, but I’d rather not end up as a shrivelled yet insightful prune. Mostly, though, shower ideas are the incentive that keeps me smelling okay, so I grudgingly accept the constraint. The time when it was most constraining was the first time I became a manager. I only had a few reports, so managing them wasn’t a full-time job. But I was v
