OpenAI intends to establish a new large-scale data center in India, potentially representing a crucial advancement for the startup in Asia to enhance its artificial intelligence infrastructure under the Stargate brand.

This was reported by Bloomberg, citing informed sources.

The developer of the renowned ChatGPT chatbot is currently seeking local partners to build a facility with a capacity of at least 1 gigawatt in the most populous country in the world.

This site could become one of the largest in India, where tech giants like Microsoft and Google, along with Asia's richest individual, have also invested in similar projects.

The exact location and timeline for OpenAI's potential project remain unclear.

According to sources, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman may announce the construction during his visit to the South Asian country this month, although these plans are not yet finalized.

OpenAI representatives declined to comment.

OpenAI is coordinating with the U.S. government on the "OpenAI for Countries" initiative, aimed at building AI infrastructure grounded in democratic values.
