Finance and data center executives have been buzzing about a Friday Bloomberg report that Oracle and OpenAI won’t expand a data center for the ChatGPT maker in Abilene, Texas, where the companies launched their first Stargate-branded facilities. As I have since learned, OpenAI several weeks ago declined to expand its data center usage there. Oracle still planned to move forward with an expansion of the site for a different AI customer, according to someone involved in the talks, but decided not to move forward last weekend.
