According to Axios, OpenAI and United Arab Emirates announced a strategic partnership to build Stargate UAE, a one‑gigawatt AI computing cluster in Abu Dhabi—with an initial 200 megawatts due online in 2026.
Per Analytics India Magazine, project will be operated by OpenAI and Oracle, built by UAE tech firm G42, and supported by Cisco, NVIDIA, and SoftBank.
Reuters reports Stargate UAE represents part of a U.S.–UAE AI Campus spanning 10 square miles and aiming for a total capacity of 5 gigawatts, making it one of the world’s largest outside the U.S.
NVIDIA will supply Grace Blackwell GB300 AI systems, while Cisco provides network infrastructure, with Oracle and SoftBank also on board.
Bloomberg adds project could involve around 100,000 NVIDIA chips in the first phase, with U.S. Commerce Department working to align security protocols after recent export control changes.
GPU export rules were loosened following a 2025 Trump‑brokered agreement during his UAE visit. U.S. officials set up a bilateral working group to ensure AI system security.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Stargate UAE a major step in delivering advanced AI—medicine, education, energy—to global markets. UAE will become first country to offer ChatGPT Plus for free to every resident.
G42 CEO Peng Xiao said partnership reflects trust‑rooted and ambitious vision to bridge breakthroughs across societies.
