On Tuesday, OpenAI made public its bold strategic initiative: a staggering $1 trillion investment to erect expansive data centers across the U.S. and beyond. As a tangible demonstration of its commitment, the company showcased a sprawling complex currently under development, situated roughly 180 miles west of Dallas. Company officials disclosed that the construction cost for each gigawatt of capacity is estimated at approximately $50 billion. With anticipated total demand nearing 100 gigawatts, the overall investment could potentially soar beyond $5 trillion. At present, OpenAI's newly acquired 1,100-acre site in Texas is a hive of activity, with over 6,000 construction workers diligently at work. This site is on track to evolve into the world's largest AI supercomputing hub. CEO Sam Altman clarified that the definitive financing structure for this computing endeavor remains undecided. In a lighthearted exchange, Musk's followers joked that to offset the expenses, 50 billion monthly subscriptions to ChatGPT Plus would be required, prompting Musk to respond with a 'laughing-crying' emoji, adding a touch of humor to the conversation.
