Building on Project Stargate between OpenAI, Oracle and Softbank, announced by President Donald Trump on his second day in office, it was revealed on Monday these companies are now expanding on that project to build even more datacenters across the United States.
On Monday, September 22nd, OpenAI and Nvidia announced a new $100 billion partnership to build “at least 10 gigawatts of AI datacenters with NVIDIA systems representing millions of GPUs for OpenAI’s next-generation AI infrastructure,” says OpenAI, which they hope “will be deployed in the second half of 2026 on NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform.”
“Everything starts with compute,” said Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI. “Compute infrastructure will be the basis for the economy of the future, and we will utilize what we’re building with NVIDIA to both create new AI breakthroughs and empower people and businesses with them at scale.”
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said “this is the largest AI infrastructure project in history. […] This partnership is about building an AI infrastructure that enables AI to go from the labs into the world. This is about the AI industrial revolution arriving, this is a very big deal.”
The next day, OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank announced the expansion of Project Stargate, which began with an initial investment of $500 billion at the time. OpenAI noted in its press release:
OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank are announcing five new U.S. AI data center sites under Stargate, OpenAI’s overarching AI infrastructure platform. The combined capacity from these five new sites—along with our flagship site in Abilene, Texas, and ongoing projects with CoreWeave—brings Stargate to nearly 7 gigawatts of planned capacity and over $400 billion in investment over the next three years. This puts us on a clear path to securing the full $500 billion, 10-gigawatt commitment we announced in January by the end of 2025, ahead of schedule.
The five new sites were chosen through a rigorous nationwide process launched in January. OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank reviewed over 300 proposals from more than 30 states. Today’s announcement marks the first set of selections, with additional U.S. sites to come as we complete and surpass our initial commitment to invest $500 billion in U.S. AI infrastructure.
OpenAI, Oracle, Softbank and Nvidia’s ventures are not the only firms building datacenters. Fortune noted:
The buildout attests to the towering expectations surrounding AI, as tech companies like OpenAI, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta race to put in place the infrastructure necessary to power their latest large language models. In July, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company would spend hundreds of billions of dollars building a network of data centers with names like Prometheus and Hyperion to create “superintelligence.”
In July, Meta announced the creation of the Prometheus datacenter in Louisiana, which will be the size of Manhattan

To what end?
Some incidents in September 2025 with potential prophetic implications - (1) Bombing of Doha that has changed the relationship between POTUS and Israel. Trump, now saying he will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Trump's support of a two-state solution five years ago took a hiatus now lingering in his mind again. (2) The UN General Assembly adopted the "New York Declaration," reaffirming the international commitment to a two-state solution and called for a clear roadmap to its implementation. (3) Peter Thiel's lectures implying restriction of AI technology will hasten the advent of 666. More like an acceleration will introduce the beast system. (4) Kirk's assassaination and the intensifying persecution and murders of Christians world wide. (5) The dark side of AI chatbots and the potential destructive impact amongst children. (6) Expansion of AI data centers.
