The completed capacity by 2032 would quadruple the compute currently held by OpenAI, said to be about 1.9 GW in 2025, yet growing exponentially.
The facility, built on land previously used for uranium enrichment by the US government, will exclusively use chips and networking from Nvidia, who expects it to represent 1.5 million of their GPUs and revenue of $150—$200 billion, not including future upgrades, according to Jensen Huang.
OpenAI says the data center will use its own energy and recycle its water supply, lessening the load on consumer facilities.
It will also supply the local community with 35,000 construction jobs over six years of building, and 2,500 jobs in operations once it’s finished.
In addition, OpenAI are providing $85 million in Codex credits to Ohio college students for the 2026/27 academic year, in addition to a «community grant fund» of some $40 million.
