OpenAI在美国密歇根州破土动工,启动名为“The Barn”的Stargate Michigan项目,这是一座规模达1GW的AI数据中心。该数据中心将采用闭环冷却技术,耗水量仅与普通办公楼相当,并承诺自身承担能源基础设施成本,不增加当地用户负担。项目预计创造数千个工会岗位。此外,OpenAI将为密歇根州所有大学、社区学院和技术学校的学生提供超过4000万美元的免费Codex额度。
OpenAI just broke ground on a 1GW AI data center campus in Michigan.
The project, called The Barn, is part of Stargate.
OpenAI says the project will pay for its own required energy infrastructure, avoid passing costs to local ratepayers, and use closed-loop cooling, meaning water is circulated rather than constantly pulled and dumped.
